Indoor Games
Goody Guessing
This is a good party game that guests can play as they are arriving. Fill 4 or 5 jars with anything edible (candy, nuts, raisins, etc.), counting the pieces as you put them in. Then let the guests guess how many are in each jar. The person who comes closest to guessing the number within each jar will win that jar
Jelly Bean Hunt
Assign a point value to each color of jelly bean. The higher value will go to the bean color of the least amount of beans. Place the beans on or near an object of similar color so they are camouflaged. Set a time limit at the end of which the player with the most points wins the game.
Memory Game
Prepare a tray with about 20 objects on it. Give each guest a pencil and paper. Display the tray for 30 seconds then remove the tray from sight. Each guest will have 3-5 minutes to name the most objects he/she recalls.
Nature Scavenger Hunt
Make a list of things to find in nature such as a pine cone, bug, leaf, etc. Duplicate the list for as many players you have or one for every two people if you want to send out teams. Set a time limit. The first player/team back with all the objects or the most objects is the winner.
Old Clothes Relay
This game is really fun to record and watch later. Divide players into two equal teams. For each team have a suitcase or box containing a large shirt, shorts, boots and hat. In turn, each player must put on the clothes and run to a certain point where he/she takes the clothes off and puts them back in box, then runs back to start where the next player repeats the process until one team finishes and wins.
Paper Bag Guess
Label paper bags with each letter of the birthday child's name and put objects that start with the corresponding letter in the bag. For instance, for AMY you could have a bag labeled "A" with an apple in it, a bag labeled "M" with a mug in it, and a bag labeled "Y" with a Yo Yo in it. Players guess what's in each<
