Add Some Fun with Our Active Kids Party Games

All the classic games that kids know and love. Including - Musical statues, pass the parcel, musical chairs, egg and spoon racing, 2 legged races, sack racing, red light green light, Simon says, the parachute game and tail tag. When your entertainer arrives they will play a variation of the games above that are suitable to the space you have and the age of the Children.

Party games work best for kids aged 5 and up, right through to about 12. Under-5s generally struggle to follow the game rules and lose interest quickly — for younger parties we recommend balloon art instead, which works brilliantly for any age. For mixed-age groups (say, a 7-year-old’s party with younger siblings tagging along), the host will keep the rules simple enough that the little ones can still join in, while keeping the pace up for the older kids.

One host comfortably runs games for up to 12 kids. For anything from 13 to 24 kids we send two hosts, so every child stays in the action and the games stay fun instead of chaotic. It's still one hour of party games — just double the crew. Tell us how many children you're expecting when you book and we'll match the right team to your party.

Yes, in two ways. The music playlist is tailored to your theme — Disco, Barbie, Star Wars, K-Pop, whatever the birthday kid loves. And if there are specific themed games you’d like the host to include (e.g. “freeze dance but to Taylor Swift,” or a Star Wars lightsaber-style round of musical statues), let us know at booking and we’ll work them into the session. Most of our theming happens through music and atmosphere rather than custom games, but we’re happy to accommodate specific requests.

Indoors, outdoors or a mix of both — our Los Angeles party hosts are used to all three. For indoor parties, a cleared living room, hallway or hired hall works well, as long as there’s enough space for the kids to move around safely. For outdoor parties, a garden or park works brilliantly for the active games. The one rule: we don’t run racing games, sack races or tug of war on hard floors (tile, concrete, parquet) because of the injury risk. If you’re not sure the space is suitable, WhatsApp us with the venue details and we’ll help you plan the right game lineup.

The weather can be unpredictable — if an outdoor party gets rained out on the day, we’ll happily reschedule your booking at no extra charge. Just let us know as soon as you can, and we’ll find a new date that suits. For indoor parties, rain doesn’t affect us, so you’re fully covered either way.

Absolutely — and for parties of 13 kids or more, it’s often the smartest way to run the afternoon. Our Active Party package ($295) combines party games with balloon art or face painting, delivered in a 90-minute session. The Complete Party ($495) includes all three services across 90 minutes. Having one team run the whole entertainment slot keeps the party flowing and works out cheaper than booking services separately.
