Easy World Record Party Games

Throwing a party for kids can be exciting and overwhelming at the same time. There are lots of things to think about. What kind of food are we going to serve? How many kids are we going to expect? What kind of things should we do to keep the party going and the kids having fun?

This conversation was started in behalf of Chuck E. Cheese’s. All opinions are my own.

Party activities are essential to have a great party and to keep the kids from destroying your house. If kids aren’t kept busy and the party doesn’t have structure, the children will run restless and cause chaos. Chuck E. Cheese’s is partnering with GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ for their 40th birthday, so we thought A GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™-themed party would be tons of fun. We thought it could be fun to have the kids do some easy world record challenges to try and beat.

We’ve come up with 15 fun, and easy records the kids can try to compete to take on the title of the party record holder. Even if they can’t beat a world record, they will have a good time trying to beat each other.

How to Play the World Record Games: 

Explain the rules for each mini-challenge before you get started on the specific challenge. Give the kids 5 minutes to practice, then start the challenge clock. Give the 1st place winner of each challenge round a star sticker. They can collect them on their shirts, hands, or create a simple punch card they can score on. You can play each game a couple of times if you’d like. Prepare a prize for the child with the most stickers and a runner-up prize for all the other children of a party goody bag.

If you want an easy and stress-free birthday party for kids, Chuck E. Cheese’s is the perfect location. When you book a party at Chuck E. Cheese’s, the birthday child gets 1000 tickets and each kid gets 3 slices of pizza. Plus, the best part, the kids have fun, you become the best parent, and your house is saved.
