Fun Games to Play at a Kids Construction Party

Try some trivia. What is a bulldozer used for? A cement truck? A dump truck? If you have pictures or miniature versions of the real thing, have the children sit in a circle and identify them. Here are some other ideas for games for the kids:

Dump Truck Relay
Guests will work in teams to get all of the rocks out of their dump truck…   

Treasure Excavation
Have your partygoers dig through "rocks" to find lost treasure… 

Chain Tag
Children will have a blast running around as "loose links" chase the "chains" in circles…   

Crane Tag
Any players caught by the "crane" become part of the crane and must help catch other players…   

Boulder Race
Partygoers will be crawling all over the floor in this boulder-pushing race… 

"I Built a House" Memory Game
Partygoers can really test their memory with this fun party game…   

Steam Roller
Kids will get a kick out of this construction-themed version of the classic Red Rover game… 

Brick Busters
Give children a chance to "throw the wrecking ball" as part of a demolition crew…   

LEGO Fun
Break out the building tools, and let your guests construct their own LEGO edifices… 

Construction Party Craft Corner

Dump Truck Craft
If you would like to add some easy crafts to your party, set up a small area or table. Guests can build and decorate their own dump trucks with this fun Dump Truck Craft.

Paper House Box
Another fun idea for your little construction workers is to make a house! Try our Paper House Box craft for one more great party activity.

Brick Busters
This is great for younger children. Simply stack shoe boxes and give children a tennis ball to use as a "wrecking ball." Brick Busters works best outside or in the basement.

When the work day is over, and the party guests are heading out the door, don’t forget to hand out their goodie bags and let them take home their crafts and construction hats as fun souvenirs!
