Planning for a fourth of July party? Here are
two exciting 4th of July party games that are
sure to entertain the children.
The 4th of July Cat and Mouse Party Game
The 4th of July cat and mouse party game is a
game played by two groups of children. Divide
the children into two groups and make them sit
in two rows opposite each other. Leave enough
space between the two rows, for the children to
walk around. Select two children at the start of
the game - one to be the "cat" and the other the
"mouse". Blindfold both the children and place
the child playing the cat at one end of the row
and the child playing the mouse at the opposite
end of the row.
The party game rolls into action when the
"cat" tries to catch the "mouse". Both the
children start to walk in opposite directions
using the chairs to guide themselves. The action
of the cat trying to catch the mouse is a
delightful one and is sure to excite the
children who are watching the game. Amidst
squeals and peals of laughter, when the mouse is
finally caught by the cat, the game continues
with two other children playing the cat and
mouse.
The 4th of July Patriotic Alphabet Game
Another interesting game that children would
love to play at the 4th of July party is the
patriotic alphabet game. This is a special 4th
of July game that involves learning along with a
lot of fun. To play this game you require a
boxful of letters. You can either purchase them
at any toy store or if you would like to convert
this into another fun activity, you can arrange
the children themselves to prepare the letters
from newspaper cuttings - a new fun way to start
a fun game.
Have the participants of the 4th of July
party seated round a table. Shuffle the
alphabets and deal it among them. The children
then should form the word of the states of
America with the letters given to them. For
this, the entire list of 50 states can be given
to them at the beginning of the play. The
patriotic alphabet game is a fun way for
children to learn not only to form new words but
also the various names of the states.
