Pooh
Party Game Ideas

Remember the games you use to play as a kid?
Use any of those standard party games and simply
change the game name to
Pooh, Eeyore, Rabbit, Tigger, Owl,
Kanga, Roo or Christopher Robin
and you are set for fun games
at your Pooh Party!

Here are a few ideas:

Simon Says
now named
POOH SAYS

Here's how to play:
The leader calls out an action.
Kids only perform the action if it is preceded
with the words:
POOH SAYS Touch Your Nose.
Kids do NOT perform the action and stand still
if the words are:
Touch Your Nose.
Performing an action without the POOH SAYS
eliminates the player from the game.
Last child left is the winner.

Action Ideas include:

Wiggle you nose
Touch your ears
Clap your paws
Rub your tummy
Shake you belly
Bounce like Tigger
Turn your Rabbit body all the way around
Make a Piglet smile
Make an Eeyore sad face
Make Owl eyes
Laugh a Roo giggle
(create up your own actions)

Hot Potato Game
now named
Hunny Bees Game

Here's how to play:
This Hunny Pot is filled with bees
wanting to get out -- just like the
Hot Potato Game, the object is to have
the kids pass the Honey Pot as quickly as
they can so the bees will not fly out and sting them.

Peanut Toss Game
now called
Bees in the Hunny Pot

Here's how to play:
Toss clothes pins painted to look like Bees are
tossed into a pail or a sturdy paper bag.

Variation:
Provide several pails and position one pail closest to the Tosser,
one pail further back, another pail set even further away.
Each pail has points: low points for closest pail, highest points
for the pail located the farthest away.

Paint the clothes pins with yellow paint
or permanent markers and add black stripes
so they look like Bees.

Besides marking the point value on each pail or paper bag,
print the words HUNNY POT on each one.

After the party is over,
use the pails to hold small toys in the
a child's room or small items in your pantry...
use the clothes pins on hangers to hold clothes in place.

Gunny Sack Race
now named
Tigger's Bounce

Here's how to play:
Provide a start and finish line (across the backyard or park)
Provide each child with a burlap sack or fabric sack
(plastic is dangerous and breaks)
Start all the kids and their sacks off at the same time.
First one to cross the Finish Line is the winner.

Activity Variation
Prior to the Tigger Bounce Game:
Provide black and brown and yellow construction paper,
scissors and glue and ask each child
to make their own Tigger Tail.
Attach the Tigger Tail to their back of the
gunny or fabric sack and watch the fun
as the kids bounce here and there
with all the tails bouncing in the air.

Write a child's name on each bow.
One child at a time, blindfold them, gently turn
them around and when they are facing the poster,
have them walk with their arms stretched out till
they reach the poster on the wall and add
their bow to where they think the end of
Eeyore's tail is located.

Eeyore's tail is the winner.

Pin the Tail on the Donkey Game

side with black marking pen.

their bee to where they think the Poohs nose is located.
The child closest to the end of Poohs nose is the winner.

Egg & Spoon Race
now named
Rabbit's Race

Here's how to play:
Provide a large spoon and an inflated balloon
for each player.
(spoon size should be based on
the ages of the kids,
smaller spoons for older kids,
larger spoons for younger kids)
Provide a Start/Finish area inside or outside.
Kids hold out spoon away from their body
and place an inflated balloon on it.
When told to start, each carries their spoon
and balloon to the Finish area without dropping the balloon.
At the Finish Line, the child removes the balloon,
places the balloon on the ground and sits on it till it pops.
If the balloon drops, the child must go back
to the Start Line to try again.
First one to pop his/her balloon is the winner.

WARNING:
Balloon pieces from pop balloons are dangerous
to babies, toddlers and pets.
To avoid the pieces from being swallowed
or stuck in ears and noses
(and who knows where else they can find),
be prepared to pick up the
pieces immediately and trash.

Here's how to play:
Provide each child with a crayon and a page from the newspaper Classified Ads.

to match the age of the birthday child.
The kid with the most numbers is the winner,
and you can provide 2nd, 3rd, etc. places, if desired.
