Spring Party Games to Play

Play "pin the butterfly on the flower". Draw a large flower on a piece of poster board, along with a simple butterfly. To make them sturdier you can glue or tape them to card stock.

Enjoy a guessing game by filling a clear jar with colorful jelly beans. Have each child guess a number and the closest guess wins a prize or the jar of candy.

Bucket toss games are always popular and can be adjusted to any theme. In this case, use a bright yellow bucket and toss in pink bean bags. Make your own bean bags out of color felt squares, hot glue and a zipper sandwich bag filled with dried beans.

Goodie Bags

For goodie bags, get clear cellophane bags or spring-themed favor boxes; if you use bags, tie them shut with pastel chenille stems cut in half. Fill with spring party favors, such as colorful pencils and erasers, insect and flower stickers, smiley face or flower lollipops and a variety of small candies. If you like, let each child choose a decoration from the wall to take home as a memento from this fun springtime party, too!
