MONKEY BIRTHDAY PARTY GAME IDEAS & ACTIVITIES

MONKEY SEE, MONKEY DO - Have the kids form a circle around the birthday child who will serve as the first leader. Play fun music like Tarzan and have the birthday child do silly dance moves, or monkey moves, or whatever he/she wants and all the other kids must imitate the leader. After 1-2 minutes let someone else be the leader. Keep going until everyone has served as the leader.

MONKEY GAME - BANANA SCAVENGER HUNT - Make banana-shaped envelopes from yellow construction paper. Insert a prize into each banana and staple it closed. Prior to the party, hide all of the "bananas" and when it comes time to play, have each of your guests find one banana.

MONKEY GAME - HOT BANANA - This game is played like Hot Potato except you will use a banana. Have all the kids sit in a circle and have the birthday child start with the banana. Turn the music on and have everyone pass the banana to the child on their right. Play continues until the music stops and whoever is left holding the banana is out of the game. Repeat until only one child remains and he/she shall be the winner.

MONKEY STRUCTURE - If you have a jungle gym, let the kids cut loose and act like little monkeys.

MONKEY RELAY - Divide the kids into two teams and line them up. Show them how to run (sway back and forth) like a monkey, swing their arms, scratch their armpits, and make monkey yells from the start line to the finish line. One child from each team starts by running like a monkey to the finish line. When a child crosses the finish line, their next teammate starts running toward the finish line. Relay continues until one team gets through all of their kids first and that team shall be the winner.

MONKEY IN THE MIDDLE - Have all the kids stand in a circle and place the birthday child (monkey) in the center. Give one of the kids in the circle a big yellow ball, the "banana." The object of the game is for the kids in the circle to pass the banana to one another, while not allowing the child in the center to grab it. If the "monkey" in the center intercepts the banana, then whichever child threw the "banana" will now be the monkey.

MONKEY GAME - PIN THE TAIL ON THE MONKEY - This game is played like Pin the Tail on the Donkey. Get a poster of a monkey and make enough tails as there are players. Blindfold each child, spin them around, and have them try to pin their tail on the monkey. Use double stick tape. The child who gets the tail closest to the monkey's rear wins.

MONKEY BIRTHDAY PARTY MUSICAL CHAIRS - Set chairs in two rows, back to back using one less chair than there are players. Turn music on and have everyone walk around the chairs while acting like monkeys, making monkey sounds and moves. When the music stops, everyone must try to get to a chair and sit down. The child left standing is out of the game. Repeat until only one child remains and he/she is the winner.

MONKEY PINATA - Blindfold the children with a handkerchief. Wrap a bat with colorful streamers and tie curling ribbons at the bottom of the bat.
