Birthday Party Games for Boys
Boys are rambunctious and like to play hard. Some favorite party games that we have found our boys like. You can modify the rules of the games if you want, just have lots of fun!
Water gun fights
This is like the classic cowboys and Indians game. Boys are split up into teams and armed with squirt guns. The object is to drench the opposing team. No hostages, just full on war. You may want to make sure that they bring extra clothes or only play this game on hot summer games. There are all sorts of water guns available, even the dollar stores have several shapes and sizes available.
Three Legged Race
With this game it is important the boys are close to the same size or one could drag and injure the other. Little boys may want to accompany an adult. Pair up the boys into teams of two. Tie the right leg to the left leg of your teams. The goal is to run together, as a unit, and finish the race first. You can make this interesting by making it an obstacle course or you can have a straightforward race from point A to point B.
War
The boys all have a gun and holster, or a sword and holster, and they play war. I encourage the children not to point their weapons at each other but to pretend to shoot at the feet of their victims and make them dance for you. Imagination usually takes control of the boys and they find a way of becoming super heroes, cowboys, bad guys, whatever their group seems to need and they act out what they can imagine.
Pirate
Boys can dress up in pirate costumes and reenact their favorite pirate movie. From treasure hunts to dueling the games are only limited by your imagination...or the imagination of the children.
Spoon race
It takes a spoon and either an orange, an apple, a tomato, a small ball, or an egg to play this game. The players all have a spoon held in their teeth and they pass the item from one another touching nothing with your hands. The item is supposed to make it to the end without falling but with younger children this may prove to be difficult.
A twist on this game is the players can place the item on the spoon then place their hands behind their backs and run to the finish line without dropping the item.

1st Birthday Party For Your One Year Old
1st Birthday Party Invitations for Baby 1st Birthday Party Celebration!
Although your child won't remember much, you'll probably always have fond memories of your child's first birthday party and those all-important 1st birthday party invitations. There's simply something special about the first time you buy that cake and watch your little one shove icing all over his or her face. However, you don't want to ruin those memories by making bad planning decisions. Here are some tips that will help as you start getting ready for those 1st birthday invitations.
1st Birthday Party Invitation: The Guest List
Many parents make a big mistake by having a huge guest list and sending out tons of first birthday party invitations for the event. You really want to keep the guest list to a minimum. Remember this is a time for your family to get together and watch one of the most precious milestones in your child's development. You don't want to ruin that by having to cater to dozens of guests and their children when you should be watching these moments. Keep the number of children birthday party invitation cards you send to a minimum. Only invite family members and close friends. If you do want to invite children, keep the number to a minimum and have planned activities to keep them entertained, such as DVD or coloring books.
1st Birthday Greeting Cards: The Location
If you read many birthday-planning forums, you'll inevitably find some parent who wants to throw a huge party when sending out 1st birthday party invitations. Locations, such as Chuck E. Cheese, are rented to celebrate the big event. Again, that's not a good idea. Renting those places is a wonderful choice when you're celebrating the birthdays of older children, especially school age kids who have tons of friends to invite. With this party, you're going to be focused on a 1 year old who won't be able to enjoy the games or even the food. The best location to write on each first birthday party invitation is your home, a party room near your home, or possibly a park. There's no reason to book an expensive location when your child won't even remember this event. Keep it small and intimate then save the big celebrations for a few years later.
1st Birthday Party: Gifts
Even though your child is only a year old, you'll probably get people asking you what the child would want as a present. There's no reason to set a gift registry or anything but you should have a few ideas in mind of presents from a wide-range of prices that you can tell guests when asked. Do not include this information in the 1st birthday party invitations. That's just bad manners. Just have the list ready in case someone asks. You may also want to ask guests to let you know what they are purchasing so there won't be any duplicate gifts.
