Beach Theme Scavenger Hunt

With so many cool things to see on the beach, this beach treasure hunt is certain to be a blast. Just create a list of treasures, split into two teams, and see who can find all the items first. Make certain that you add some fun and wacky things that you’d only be able to find on the beach.

Supplies: paper, pencil, beach scavenger hunt list

Mini Golf

You don’t need a golf course to play golf. Just bring a few clubs from home (or pick up some cheap ones at a second-hand store) and make the beach be your course. Dig a hole in the sand and put or put a few cups out to try and hit the balls into. Use your creativity to play just like a real round of golf where the person with the lowest swings wins.

Supplies: cups, golf ball, golf clubs

Squirt Ball Relay

The quicker you are here, the better. Grab a blown-up beach ball and a squirt gun full of water and see who can use the water from the squirt gun to push the ball across the sand to the finish line. Don’t worry, you’ll more than likely run out of water and have to run to the water and fill up during this time!

Supplies: beach ball, water gun

Beach Towel Parachute

The concept of this game is fun and addicting. Have a beach ball in the middle of a beach towel. Have two people hold the tall and use it to bounce the beach ball up and down. The more bounces, the better because if it hits the ground, you have to start counting all over again.

Supplies: beach ball, beach towel

Musical Towels

The same rules apply here as musical chairs but you use towels instead. Lay the towels out on the sand, have the music playing, and let everyone walk around and do their best to scramble to a towel once the music stops!

Supplies; beach towels, radio/music player

Beach Bowling

Put those empty water bottles to good use. Line them up in the sand and then use a ping pong ball and try to knock them down. Can you do a strike? Only time will tell!

Supplies: empty water bottles

Shell Shuffle

Who can balance the shell the best? All you need to do is balance dry sand on a spoon and place a shell on top and the race is on. Who can carry the shell back and forth the quickest without it falling off?

Supplies: shells, sand, spoons

Hole Sand Hole

If you’ve ever played cornhole, you’re going to have a leg up on this game. Start by digging five holes into the sand and make certain to give them a bit of space in the sand as well. Use a ball and do your best to fit the ball into the holes so start racking up the points.

Supplies: balls

Flick n Sticks

This game is fast and fun to set up! All you need are 4 sticks/stakes, 4 cups (2 pairs of the same color), and a frisbee. Put the stakes in the sand several feet apart from one another. (You can decide the distance and can easily shorten or lengthen it as needed.) Split into teams of 2 and have each team stand at a stake. Take turns tossing the frisbee back and forth with the main goal of getting points. Points are earned by throwing the frisbee in between the 2 stakes and extra points are also earned for knocking the cup off the stakes as well.

Supplies: stakes/sticks, cups, frisbee

Frisbee Golf

Who says you need a frisbee golf course? Just set out some fun beach items and use your frisbee to toss and get as close as you possibly can. The one who throws the flying disc closest wins that “hole”.

Supplies: beach items, frisbee

Water Bucket Relay

Such a fun water challenge to play! Grab a cup and a couple of buckets and get geared up. Each person takes the empty cup, runs and gets water in it, then takes that cup of water and runs to the empty bucket to fill it up. The first person or team to fill their bucket wins!

Supplies: plastic cups, buckets

Beach Blow

It’s time to get down on your hands and knees and dig! Take a spoon or a small shovel and dig out a path. Then drop a ping pong ball into the groves, grab a straw, and blow your air through the straw to move the ping pong ball down the path. If you don’t want to dig two paths for competition, just set a timer and see who can complete it the fastest.

Supplies: spoon/small shovel, straw, ping pong ball

Hot Potato

Since you’re on the beach it just makes sense to pass around a beach ball instead of a potato, right? Have everyone sit in a circle and start passing the ball around while the music is playing. Be quick and careful with your passes as the person who is holding the beach ball when the music stops is out of the game.

Supplies: beach ball, music player

Sponge Relay

Just how much water does a sponge really hold? You’re about to find out. Have sponges in a bucket of water at the start line, and an empty bowl at the finish line. Once “go” is said, each person then has to grab a soaked sponge, sprint down to the empty bucket, squeeze out the water, then head back to do it all over again. The team who fills the empty bowl overflowing with water first wins!

Supplies: sponges, bowls

Beach Ball Relay

Air up those beach balls and get ready to run. Have each team line up, one behind each other, and get ready. The first person grabs the ball, sprints to the other end of the beach, and then sprints back to hand off to the next person in their relay line. The kicker? If the ball gets dropped at any point in time, they have to start over and do it again!

Supplies: beach balls

Pass the Water

Do you have what it takes to not spill a drop? Have teams line up in a row and give the first person in line a cup of water. Once “go” is said, the person holding the water cup full of water has to hold the cup over their hand and pour out the water into the empty cup of the person behind them. Do this until the entire team has done it and then see what team has the most water in the final cup!

Supplies: cups

Wet Shirt Relay

Line up the teams and get ready to “wring” out some fun. Have a bucket with a t-shirt in it, ready to go. The first person in line grabs the wet shirt and sprints across the beach to an empty bucket or bowl, waiting to be filled. The person wrings all the water out of the shirt and then takes the shirt back to the next person in line who starts the process again. The first team to fill the bucket with water wins!

Supplies: beach bucket or bowl, T-shirts

What are some fun water games?

Who doesn’t love a water balloon fight? Break out the inflatables and fill up those kiddie pools, because it’s time to get wet and wild! Let’s get started with the six classic games with water. Check out our favorite outdoor water games for a cooling summertime activity.

Water Balloon Toss

Water balloon games are a must. This classic game is a great way to beat the heat and have some fun with friends. All you need is a group of people and a bunch of water balloons. Form two lines facing each other, and give the first person in each line a balloon.

On the count of three, they’ll toss the balloon to the person across from them. If the balloon pops or someone drops their water bombs, they’re out! Keep going until there’s only one person left in each line, and then the two winners will face off against each other. Now, without a doubt, this is considered fun water games at home!

Sprinkler Races

This is a great game for young kids who love to run around and get wet. The hose is a great resource. Set up a sprinkler in your yard or park, and then have the kids line up at one end. On your go, they’ll race to the other end and back again. The first player to cross the finish line is the winner! You can even make this a team relay race full of challenges and obstacles.

Water Balloon Piñata

Pop! This game is a fun twist on the classic piñata. Instead of candy, fill up a water balloon piñata with water and tie it to a tree branch or other high surface like a clothesline. Then, have the kids take turns hitting it with a stick or plastic bat until it bursts open and drenches them with water! This game is must in the great outdoor water games for families list! It’s perfect for a very hot day.

Sponge Relay Races

Split everyone into teams and line them up at the start line. At the other end of the course, place a bucket filled with water. The first person in each team will dip their sponge into the bucket, run to the other end and wring it out over the next person’s head, then pass the sponge off. In this water relay, the team that finishes first is the winner!

You can twist this game up. Make it a challenge by mixing it up with some bubbles. Use Dawn, bubble bath or Johnson no-tear baby shampoo. Instead of pouring over the next player’s head, be the first team to move the most water from one bucket to the next with a sponge toss as the mode of transportation.

Squirt Gun Tag

This game is a blast for kids of all ages. One person is “it” and has to chase down the other players and tag them with their squirt gun. Once someone is tagged, they’re out. The last person standing is the winner! If you are looking for something with younger kids, this water play is a toddler approved game.

Water Obstacle Course

Sprinklers, kiddie pools, and slip and slides can bring together one amazing obstacle course with water. Gather all the water supplies you have include buckets, spray bottles, cups, t-shirts, and spray bottles. Map out your backyard as you navigate a path from one water activity to the next. Introduce as much water as you want with running sprinklers, hoses, water guns and more. You can time this DIY water course or just make it a fun challenge to master.

It’s a Jurassic party! Young dinosaur fans will love these dinosaur party games. Download, print and enjoy 11 dinosaur-themed activities that will guarantee a roar-tastic party for a birthday guy (or gal) and their party guests.

Dinosaur party games and activities are the perfect way to keep your little ones entertained during your next dinosaur themed party. Dinosaur themed party games seem to bring a lot of joy to kids, so it only makes sense that you would choose this type of theme.

And, with so many great dino themed party games and activities to choose from, you’re sure to find the perfect ones for your party. Check out these fun dinosaur party games and more!

How do you host a dinosaur party?

Planning a Fun Dinosaur Party can be intimidating. First of all, the dinosaurs are prehistoric so there isn’t much interms of reference. Second, we all know parties can be costly. I am here to show you how to create a frugal dinosaur birthday party, especially when it comes to the entertainment aka party activities.

If you’re looking for some fun and unique ideas for your dinosaur themed party, then you’ve come to the right place. Here are some great tips to get you started:

Choose a Catchy Name for Your Party

This can be something like “Jurassic Party” or “Dino-Mite Party”. Use fun words like party-saurus, dino-mite, or roar-tastic. Make sure to use catch phrases like “stomp, chomp and roar!”

Make sure to great your guests with very formal names like paleontologists or archeologist. Using these formal titles make you look like a smart, educated and proper party planner. You might even offer your guests paleontologists vests and hats so that the scientific title really sticks.

Pick a Fun Invitation

Your invitation should be eye-catching and inviting. You can even find some great dinosaur party invitations online. While prehistoric snail mail printable dinosaur invitations are always fun, I find the digital dinosaur invitations to be a great option for the 21st century. You could even grab a personalized dinosaur invite where your child is riding on a T-rex… so unsafe! What will they think of next?

Dinosaur Themed Snacks

You can get really creative with your snacks and have a lot of fun with them. You can have things like “dinosaur bones” (pretzel sticks), “dinosaur eggs” (deviled eggs), or even “dinosaur poop” (chocolate pudding).

Try dino party food ideas like…

Cheeseballs can be meteorites
Bugles can be dinosaur claws or toe nails (… gross!)
A veggie tray can be a herbivore tray
Tiny sandwiches can be dino-wiches (… duh!)
Guacamole dip can be a swap while the accompanying chips are dinosaur scales.
The dessert table can be sweetivores.
The chicken nuggets can be Carnivore station (did you know they make dinosaur chicken nuggets?)
Blue punch can be a juice lagoon.
A dirty cup of pudding and mashed OREOs can be prehistoric dirt.
Sugar cookies with dinosaur footprints imprints can be fossil cookies.

It really easy to make common food into dinosaur birthday party themed snacks and recipes that you want to sink your teeth into. See more dinosaur party food ideas in our dino party.

Dinosaur Party Favor Ideas

Don’t forget the party favors! You can send your guests home with some fun dinosaur-themed favors, such as dinosaur stickers, erasers, pencils, tattoos, and candy! Gift these in a cute little bucket.

If you are short on a budget, use some of your dinosaur party décor as potential party favors. This can include the paleontologists vests and hats or tell your guests to “adopt a dinosaur” on the way out. That means they can pick up one of the precious plastic toy dinosaurs that are displayed around the room.

What are some good games to play at a dinosaur party?

Kids part entertainment can be expensive. With just a little planning, it’s possible to have a roar-tastic, amazing birthday party for a low-cost. These budget-friendly dinosaur themed party games are just want you need to plan your next Dinosaur Birthday Party. They include 11 tried and true really fun dinosaur themed birthday party games.

Now, onto the fun part – the games! Using these dinosaur party games printable you can plan a really fun game! Print out the printable and use it to plan the best party ever. All of these games and more are listed on the printable!

Dinosaur Egg Hatch

Blow up balloons and fill them with prizes. Hide them around the house or yard for the kids to find. Once they find the eggs, separate them into teams, and from there you see who can crack all of the eggs first.

How to play: Blow up a lot of white balloons for the dino eggs, filling them with tiny prizes (candy/stickers.) Place them in two separate “nests.” Nests can be made of blankets or sheets swirled up around them. Divide kids into teams, and let them choose a cool dinosaur team name. When the game begins, everyone can sit, stand or whatever they need to do to crack the eggs. The goal is for each team has to crack all of their “dinosaur eggs” first. The first team to succeed, gets the larger prize. All players can keep the smaller prizes.

Supplies: White balloons, blankets, small prizes.

Dancing Dinos

Like to freeze dance? This is a great game for younger kids. Put on some fun music and let the kids dance around like dinosaurs. You can even give them props, such as dinosaur tails or hats.

How to play: Play some upbeat (dinosaur) music and let the kids dance crazy. When the music is paused, each child must freeze like a fossil/frozen dino. If anyone is caught moving, they’re out. Last one standing is the winner.

Supplies: Music.

Egg Relay Race

For this spoon races game, you will need two teams and two baskets. Put a hard-boiled egg in each basket and have the kids race to see who can get the egg from their basket to the other team’s basket first, without dropping it.

How to play: Hard boil eggs to look like dino eggs. Divide teams into two for this relay. The first person in line has a spoon and egg. Every other player has a spoon. Each person with a spoon and egg must carry the egg on the spoon to a designated spot and back. As soon as the player returns to the line, he or she passes the egg to next person in line. Continue until everyone gets a turn . If the egg drops, return to your line and start over.

Supplies: Eggs, spoon.

Hot Dinosaur Egg

Just like the game “hot potato”, except you’re using a water balloon. Play the music and when the music stops, whoever is holding the water balloon is out.

How to play: Just like the classic game hot potato. Pass a water balloon around the circle and whoever’s holding it when the music stops is out! Play until there’s only one person left.

Supplies: Music, water balloons.

Dig for Treasure

Fill a sandpit with treasures, such as plastic dinosaurs, for the kids to find. You can even make it a competition by seeing who can find the most treasure in this dinosaur dig in a certain amount of time.

How to play: Fill a kiddy pool (or sandbox) with sand. Add beach shovels and small brushes. Similar to a dinosaur egg hunt, burry eggs (prizes) in the sand pit and allow kids to dig for buried treasure. Give each child a dinosaur party favor bucket or bag to hold prizes.

Supplies: Baby pool, sand, shovels, fossils, small brushes, eggs, small plastic dinosaurs, dinosaur birthday party favors, bags or buckets.
