Safari & Jungle Animal Party Games for Kids

This post may contain affiliate links or ads. Read my privacy policy and disclosure policy here.

June 5, 2023 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Birthday, Facebook, Games, Instagram, Party, Pinterest, Printable, Social Media

Looking for fun safari or jungle themed party games for your next wild and crazy party? Enjoy these 12 fun animal party games that you can print. Party animal birthday themed activities and printable games for toddlers, preschoolers & younger kids.

Ready to get wild with some jungle party games? Celebrate like an animal with these fun ideas that are easy to plan and pull together for a party that will cause a roar. With these adventurous jungle theme party games, your guests may cause a stampede to be a part of your tribe!

Safari jungle party games are perfect for kids of all ages and can be easily tailored to whatever level of energy and excitement you want for your party. They are the best games for toddlers and younger kids but can also be tailored toward tweens and teens with just a few animal adaptions.

What is the difference between Jungle and Safari?

The difference between a jungle and a safari is primarily the environment. A jungle would be a lush green space often humid and with water. A safari would be a landscape that is often dry similar to a desert. Often a jungle is attached to tropical regions like South America and a Safari would frequently be used for dry environments like Africa.

Due to different locations and opposite climates, jungle, and safari animals are not the same. Just to name a few, safari animals include a lion, an elephant, a cheetah, a zebra, a rhino, a giraffe, an ostrich and a leopard. Alternatively, jungle animals might include monkeys, snakes, exotic birds, tigers, jaguars, and crocodiles. Animals that might overlap both environments are crocs, cheetahs, and elephants.

When planning an animal party it’s very easy to overlap safari theme party games with jungle theme party games. Luckily both include wild animals (pun in tented – meaning both your guests and the animals).

Safari Party Games

If you’re looking for some classic party games with a wild twist, try a few rounds of musical chairs set to jungle-themed music or have an animal treasure hunt where the prizes are hidden around the yard or park. Both are easy party games and honestly toddlers would love it but teens would also love both! I could just see them fighting over that last chair.

For a more active party, set up a jungle obstacle course with if you have the space or play some fun animal charades. No matter what games you choose, make sure to have plenty of prizes on hand for the winners! It can be a small prize like a piece of candy or animal-themed party favor.

Jungle Theme Party Games

If you want to go all out with a jungle theme party, then you’ll need some games that fit the bill. A few ideas include a Jungle Scavenger Hunt, where guests have to find items on a list around the party area, or a game of Jungle Jeopardy, where teams compete to answer questions about jungle animals. Just make sure you answer in question form!

For a really fun and unique party, try setting up a photo booth with jungle-themed props and backdrops. Your guests will have a blast taking photos and you’ll have some great memories to look back on! In this theme, have everyone come in costume and vote on the best animal costume. This could be great for older kids.

Kids Jungle Party Games

When creating an animal party we often think about the cake, list of guests, decorations, venue and more. One item that comes last is the party entertainment. Let’s put the play back in the party planning with some of the best group games for kids at a party.

So let’s get started. Learn the best paint for making handprint art and then download and enjoy these adorable handprint mother’s day printable cards.

What kind of paint do you use for handprint art?

When making handprint art for mother’s day, it’s important to have the right paint. Especially if you want your product to last a long time. First you must answer the question, what medium is the handprint art going on. Once you have determined if you are using wood, paper, or canvas, you can then determine the paint source. You also want to use a non-toxic, organic paint as you are applying it to your child’s hand.

The following paints can be used on the following sources…

Paper or Cardstock: A non-toxic washable tempera paint will easily stick to paper.

Canvas: Acrylic paint labelled non-toxic is safe to use.

Wood: Milk paint is made of natural ingredients making it the safest choice.

Drywall: Choose a non-toxic interior paint commonly found at Home Depot, Benjamin Moore or Sherwin Williams.

It is important to wash hands (feet/fingers) immediately after the print is created.

Is there a trick to getting handprint art smudge-free?

Getting the perfect handprint can be a challenge. A few tricks to help a smaller child create a handprint without smudging. Follow these five tips when creating kids’ handprint art for mom.

Tip 1: Have the right paint. When using paper, the best paint for easy clean-up is a non-toxic washable tempera paint.

Tip 2: Use distraction. If you can get an adult or older kids to help you, distract the child while you go through the motions of painting their hand and applying it to the paper. If you do not have as second helper, use an electronic or television to quickly deter their eyes.

Tip 3: Give the handprint artwork a few test runs. Print out extra copies of the mother’s day cards and practice with your little hands.

Tip 4: Use a paintbrush to evenly paint on hand and footprints. Remove excess paint before applying the child’s hand to the printable or canvas.

Tip 5: Lay down the hand very slowly and carefully. Start with laying down the pinky and slowly rolling the hand down on the paper until you hit the thumb. Once all the fingers and palm are placed, press your finger tips above the child’s handprint to ensure no part of the child’s hand is not applied to the paper. When you are ready to lift the handprint off, do this in a reverse motion. Slowly peeling the paper back from the child’s hand.

Give yourself grace. Sometimes the most adorable children’s hand prints artwork is found is in the mistakes. Then years down the road, small smudge might remind the gift receiver of a once-upon-a-time wiggly toddler.

Mother’s Day Handprint Art

The best mother’s day gifts begin with a handprint (footprint or fingerprint.) We put together an adorable Mother’s Day Cart printable set that displays these adorable sticky hands. In our printable Mother’s Day Handprint Keepsake Art set, we use all three prints.

Handprint Art Gift Tips

To preserve your handprint artwork for mom, consider laminating the project with an at home thermal laminator. Test a dry piece of art before laminating all your projects. It important to choose a low-heat setting.

You can also head to the Dollar Store and pick up low cost photo frames. If you don’t like the color of the picture frame, use a quick drying spay paint to change the color to match your mother’s day gift color palette.

If you need a quick drying tip on your printable art, apply thin coats of paint. Once the art is complete, place the papers to dry in an area with circulating air. You can also use a heater or hair dryer.

Family time is important for bonding and creating new memories. Take a look at this list of 72 Family Bonding Activities and Ideas. Download this fun family traditions checklist to begin the family fun today!

Family time is important for everyone in the family. Planning relationship building activities make for fun memories that you’ll cherish for years. This family bonding activities printable provides year-round ideas of fun things to do together to make great memories together.

Why Family Time?

Whether it’s the bonding time spent with siblings, parents, children or even pets; spending time with family can provide a sense of security and love that cannot be found outside of the people you love the most. In addition, memories are created when something unusual occurs. That means getting out of the same daily routine and adding a new activity to your day!

Fun family activities can overlap with Family Traditions and they can be repeated or you can do them once and never do them again. For example, every Sunday family dinner is breakfast for us. This began as a family activity and quickly grew into a family tradition.

When creating a list of seasonal family activities, consider what your family would enjoy. If you have a larger family (like my family of seven) we have activities on the list that each child/adult would like. Of course, not each activity is appreciated by everyone but we all participate.

Family Bonding Ideas

We all know we should spend more time with our families but sometimes we struggle to come up with activities that don’t end in a shouting match. Making time to build your family bond can often be pushed aside. With that being said, here are some simple family bonding activities that you can do with your family this weekend!

1. Indoor Ice Skating: This fun activity for families on a budget is great for any time of year. Lace up and have fun trying to stay upright or learning how to do new tricks. If you don’t have ice skates, try out skates or even roller blades!

2. Cook Together: Cooking with kids can sometimes be difficult because they always want to play with the food but not eat any of it. Pick a recipe that everyone will enjoy and prep together if possible. Bonus points for trying new foods.

3. DIY Crafts: When was the last time you went to your local craft store? Take advantage of great deals and create something together. Your family will love the memories you create together while coming up with new ideas for future projects.

4. Mini-Golfing: It’s never too late or too early to start playing the game everyone loves. Mini-golf is a great family bonding activity that will leave you with laughs and smiles for years to come.

5. Go For A Hike: It doesn’t matter where you go for your hike as long as it’s somewhere new, exciting and challenging. Pack some snacks, water and good hiking shoes and get out of the house. Bonus: Involve your dog and make it a family adventure!

6. Board Games: Get some old school board games like Monopoly, Pictionary, Life or even Chess and challenge each other to friendly battles of minds. As long as everyone remembers that it’s just a game, you’ll have fun while making memories with a family game night.

7. Family Movie Night: One of the cheapest ways to have fun with the family is to spend a few hours at home watching a movie. Pick a movie everyone will enjoy and get some popcorn too! If your brave, make it a backyard movie night.

8. Yard Games: Whether you call them yard games or lawn games, playing sports in your backyard can be a ton of fun for the whole family. Bring out the badminton set or play a game of football to get some fresh air and burn off some energy.

9. Go on a Scavenger Hunt: We have a huge list of scavenger hunt ideas for at home. From outdoor hunts in the neighborhood, to birthday treasure hunts, and finally seasonal hunts with fun rhyming riddle clues, these hunt are great idea for each new holiday. This might quickly become a family tradition.

10. Family Road Trip: Road trips are a great way to create conversation and get to know one another. Play car games, learn a new skill aka map reading, and discover new places.

11. Family Vacation Stay-cation: When a trip out of town in not in the books, stay in town. A staycation is a great way to get to know your city and down.

12. Forts: Take a rainy day and build indoor forts. Using pillows, blankets and your furniture, all activities for the day must be conducted in the family tent. Laughter definitely included!

13. Volunteer: What feels better, to give or to receive? Teach your child the important as well as the benefit of serving in their community, church, school or another organization.

14. Look at Family Photos: So many memories and moments are caught in photographs. In the era of digital photography, it’s not often your child holds a photo in their hands. Look through older photos and tell a story about each.

15. Use Conversation Cards: Include engaging conversation during the evening dinner. Conversation cards are a great way to engage one another and learn about one another deeply.

These ideas are just a few examples. You can add your own to the list or start with a clean late full of family fun that fits your crew.

Graduation is a special time to celebrate the accomplishments of the graduate. It’s also a time for family and friends to come together and enjoy each other’s company. If you’re looking for some graduation party games or creative ideas, we’ve got you covered.

Graduation parties can sometimes feel like anything but a celebration. Guests tend to break off into their age groups, chat, and eat a few appetizers. The younger crowd might stand around in the backyard laughing and snacking. There’s usually a divide in the group that doesn’t feel like a good time.

Whether you’re celebrating high school graduation, preschool graduation, kindergarten graduation or even a college graduation, we have some fun ideas that will get guests of all ages interacting and having a blast.

Backyard Graduation Party Ideas

If the weather is nice, expanding your party to include the outdoors, is a great way to have a little more space when planning a graduation party at home. A backyard graduation party theme can be decorated in such a cute way too!

Hang those adorable lights, circle up some chairs, and make cozy spaces for your guests to gather. You might even want to set up a fire pit or use a pop-up tent to set the area up for an outdoor party.

More of the best outdoor graduation party ideas include…

Graduation Party Decorations

The first thing to consider when staging a party is the graduation party décor. it doesn’t have to be difficult and you can decorate with things you have like your grad’s gown, cap and tassel. Also create a table of photos throughout the life of your grad. School photos could finally be put to great use. Balloon garland is pretty trendy and can easily be found online. It makes the perfect backdrop an a really cute graduation party decoration. Black, gold and white are a perfect color pallet or show some school spirit and use your school colors.

Outdoor Lighting

A drink station can be simple. Toss glass bottles or soda cans in iced galvanized buckets. Easy-peasy.

Music

Of course adding a karaoke machine, dance floor and band could be quite fun, but you can keep it simple with a graduation party playlist. Don’t spend too much time on this. Using Spotify, Apple Music or Amazon Music should quickly create a playlist for you. Ten songs you will definitely want to include to your graduation party playlist are…

Graduation Party Games

Now that your space looks great, let’s talk activities. Planning graduation party games that get your guests up and interacting is a great way to make your party a memorable one.

Here are some fun grad party games that will keep your guests entertained:

Diploma Relay Race

This game is perfect for a backyard graduation party! Have guests form groups of two and get into a line shoulder to shoulder. Place a diploma between the pair, and race to get across the finish line fastest. Drop the diploma, and you have to go back to the start. Oh did we mention, this is a game where you can’t use your hands? Better get creative!

Toast to the Grad

Is it even a backyard party without an obstacle course game? In this speed test, players will race with their wine glass filled with water around the obstacles to be the team who fills their bucket the fastest. Be sure to have plenty of towels on hand!

Name That Tune

Take a walk down memory lane as guests try to guess songs from the graduate’s years in school. This game is perfect for those who love to sing along and don’t want to get as active.

Memory Bank

This might be the best part of your party… Gather up the tissues and have each guest fill out a great memory they have of the graduate. Have the grad read through the cards and try to guess who wrote each one.

This is also a great way to gather cards that the graduate can read later or even take with them as they move into their new stage. If you prefer, you can do words of wisdom instead. You really can’t go wrong with either idea!

Pass the Parcel

This game is so fun if you are generous with the Saran Wrap parcel party favors. Fill your plastic wrap ball with full size candy bars, smarties candy, and a great prize in the center. The winner has the ball at the end of the game once all the layers have been removed.

The Key to Success

This game is quite tasty. If you have heard of a pie eating contest, you will love this game. Fill a pan with shaving cream and dig around the find the key… but guess what!?! Your hands are behind your back.

Dip-Low-Ma

Grab some balloons and see if you can keep them in the air! Dip it low and pick it up slow… man, I feel on a roll with throwback songs. I mean, if you hare a graduation playlist, this is a song to add and play during this fun game. Include more songs that fit the graduation year and theme and add them to the Name that Tune party game.

Are you Smarter than a Grad?

Alright smarty pants! This game is adults vs the kids. From pop culture to academic questions, see if which generation can declare they are smarter. The winners will get the most correct answers.

Charades

Split up into teams with an equal amount of players. In this classic game, similar to Taboo or forbidden words, act out themed words and see if your teammate can guess the word.

Steal the Cap

Divide players again. This is a perfect outdoor party games. Similar to steal the bacon, steal the grad cap (or baseball cap).

Don’t Drop the Tassel

In this fun game, pass a graduation caps tassel from the first player to the next. Split players in equal teams and get the tassel from the front of the line to the back. What’s the catch? You can’t use your hands. You will need a spoon in this silly game.
