NOAHS ARK BIRTHDAY PARTY GAMES & ACTIVITIES

NOAH'S ARK PUPPET SHOW - Enlist some of the parents' help or hire high school drama students to put on a puppet show. Use child's Bible or DVD of Noah's Ark story as your guide. To keep the little ones' attention, remember to use silly voices for your animals, lots of expression, and movement with the puppets.

NOAH'S ANIMAL CHARADES - Use animal flash cards, download animal pictures from Web, or cut out animal pictures from a magazine. Birthday child starts the game by selecting a picture without other children knowing which one, and proceeds to act out the animal through movement and sound. Other children try to guess the type of animal. Play continues until each child has had a turn at acting out an animal.

NOAH'S ANIMAL GAME - Birthday child starts the game by pulling out an animal from a basket and identifies what kind of an animal it is and the noise it makes. Then everyone else makes the animal noise. Play continues until all the children have had a turn at being leader.

NOAH'S ANIMAL PARADE - Birthday child starts the parade by leading other children in making animal sounds and movements. Play continues until all the children have had a turn at being leader.

ANIMAL RELAY RACES - Have relay races where everyone has to act like a particular animal, while racing to the finish line, by making appropriate sounds and movements. For example, a kangaroo must hop, a bear must growl while moving arms and hands like they are trying to grab something, a fish must make swimming motions with their arms and kissy lips.

PIN THE TRUNK ON THE ELEPHANT - Use a poster or make a large elephant head. Have the kids pin the trunk on the elephant. Make trunks out of construction paper and use double-stick tape.
