There is nothing sweeter than a group of little girls at a birthday party, or a sleep over. They will be all shapes, sizes and personality types, having fun together in spite of their differences. As adults we could learn lessons from them. To keep the party fun for the girls, advance planning needs to be done with the little hostess. The party needs a theme, food, decorations and games to play. It is best to let the party girl choose the theme and have a say in all the rest of the planning. After all, it is her party. Party games for girls should be chosen carefully.

After the theme, food and decorations are decided on, the games need to be planned. Avoid those games that leave some girls left out or with hurt feelings. Make sure the party games for girls are age appropriate and take the interests of the group of girls into consideration. Games that might lead to stained and damaged clothes should be avoided. If you are planning an outdoor party, make sure you have alternate indoor games in case of rain. One good source of game ideas is other moms who have had parties recently. Ask them what the girls enjoyed and what didn’t work.

You can go online to find party games for girls ideas, or buy any number of party planning books to help you out. Your little girl will have ideas for games she would like to have at her party. The games should have lots of prizes awarded the players. A good party sends every girl home with a prize or party favor. Disney princess parties are popular right now and the availability of all the games and theme prizes makes it an easy choice. There are local retailers who have party supplies with games included to help.

Some of the best games are old standards that have been updated for today. Games that involve artwork the girls can take home work well. Magic markers and crayons make the least mess. One idea is to copy line drawings of things having to do with the party theme and have a coloring contest. Girls like gluing things, so you could get together foam shapes, colored paper, beads and little pom poms to glue on paper. If you can find a number of costumes and old party clothes second hand, or from friends, the girls can put on a play or have a tea party. Game ideas are endless, you just need to choose the ones right for your party.
