The Under the Sea Kids
Party is often lots of fun
for the kids and the parents
at the party. You’ll need a
couple of good games to keep
everyone active and involved
in the party.
The first game we recommend
for the Under the Sea party
is called, ‘Observation’.
Its kind of a quick game but
its fun and you’ll get trick
your guests a little bit
while you are at it. Have
one of the adult or kid
guests put on a variety of
under the sea related
clothes and accents. This
must be done in a separate
room so the other guests
can’t see what’s going on!
The clothes can be anything
from a mermaid costume, to
an eye patch, seashell
necklace and captains hat.
Then give them a tray filled
with marine related items
such as seashells,
driftwood, etc.
Meanwhile the guests will be
seated and given pieces of
paper and pens/pencils.
You’ll bring out the tray
bearer and tell everyone to
observe closely. Most people
and kids will automatically
assume they are supposed to
remember what’s on the tray,
but when you have the tray
bearer leave you’ll tell
them that you’ll be asking
questions about the person
holding the tray at the
Under the Sea Party, not
what’s on the tray! The
winner is the person who
gets the most questions
right.
The second game that fits
the Under the Sea party
theme is a relay race
called, ‘Fish Pool Relay’.
For this game you’ll need to
draw a chalk circle and make
up three groups of 10 paper
fish. Each group of ten
should be a different color
so you can assign teams and
you can make the fish very
simple oval shapes cut from
construction paper. Also
each team will need one
paper fan.
Scatter the colored fish
around the outside of the
colored circle. Then have
each of the three Under the
Sea party teams line up
equidistance from the circle
and each other, say ten feet
distance. Give the first
person in each group a fan
and at your ‘go’ have them
run forward and try to fan
as many of their assigned
fish as they can into the
circle. Each player has 15
seconds to fan then they
must run back and give the
paper fan to the next person
in line. The winners are the
group that manages to get
all their colored fish
fanned into the circle
first.
