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.
These are games and challenges I would still love
Never have tried the.Stack the Pennies challenge – to that degree – mine always tipped over really fast! lol
So much fun! I love simple games that EVERYONE can do!!
I love these ideas! I will definitely try this for our next party!
Those are some pretty awesome games. My favorite one is the chopstick games! Great ideas!
These party games sound like a lot of fun. A little friendly competition never hurt anyone.
I’ve never thought about using a theme like this before. I think it’s totally different and exciting for kids to do at a party or even just for fun when they have a playdate.
When I was a kid, I always wanted to be in the Guinness Book of World Records. I would do something stupid and think that it would be in the Guinness Book of World Records. I think this would be a great party for kids.
I see ideas for our Christmas Reindeer Games. These ideas look fun.
These are going to be great to play this weekend. We are expecting rain and need some fun things to do. I used to spin pennies when I was a child.
OK this gives me LOTS of great ideas for this summer to make summer break with the kids fun! I think I am as excited as my kids will be!
Oh, these types of competitions could have us getting crazy in our house. They look like so much fun, and a great way to pull away from the screen!
I LOVE these ideas! This would be fun for a party but also just for fun with the family sometimes! Fun fact is that I was part of a group that got a world record last year for playing instruments to a a song for a certain amount of time – ha ha !
I think I would be able to try the balloon blow up that would be fun… The handstand I don’t think I could do it for very long, but it would be fun to try!
What an awesome list of ideas. Chuck E Cheese is such a great place for kids of all ages. I have fond memories of birthday parties there when I was a child. I used to be fascinated by World Records, so this is an awesome way to get kids excited about it!
These are super clever and it would be interesting to see who could win each of them! Being a part of the “Most People Blowing Party Blowers” record at Chuck E. Cheese’s on May 19 should be fun for the kids!
Nothing makes a party more fun than a little friendly competition. Great picks here.
Party games like this are so much fun. They get the old competitive juices flowing.
These all sound so fun! I want to try blowing the world’s biggest bubbles.
what great party ideas! i would have to calm my inner competitor to give the kids a chance at winning!
