Ultimate Dora Birthday Kid Games

One way to get the best Dora Kid Games is to ask Backpack!

But…I already know where they are, so before you say, “backpack, backpack, backpack”, scroll down and check out these awesome themed party games.

As you start to read, you’re going to find over 10 Dora themed party games that will fit perfectly in your child’s Ultimate Birthday Party.

So get started and start scrolling…but remember have fun and happy partying!

Before we get started I have listed a few survival tips to help your party run smoother:

First, make sure you select games you think your child will love and pick some back-ups, just in case. Next, setup a schedule of events before the party on which games will be played, what order and a time limit. Finally, don’t forget the “fun” factor in the party. Not every child is going to win every event, so make sure each event is designed to be “fun”, “loud” and “enjoyable”.

Hopefully these tips will help reduce your party stress and allow you to enjoy the party. So have fun at the Ultimate Party!

Oh yeah, don’t forget the camera!!!

* Musical Chairs: There are a couple of ways to do this game. First, you could write the name of each character from Dora the Explorer on a paper plate and have the children step from plate to plate as the music is playing. When the music stops, pick a name from a hat and whichever child is on that plate wins a prize. Second, you could print out different characters from our clip art page onto card stock. Have the children walk around the pictures and when the music stops, pick a picture from a hat and the child who is on that character wins!

* Find the Party Favors: Want to send the children on an adventure to get their party favors? Great…all you need to do is come up with three different clues to send the children scrambling around the party area searching for their bags. Here are three example clues you could use. “Now the party is through, you next clue is on something that floats and is blue”. Put the next clue on a blue balloon. The second clue is, “So you found your clue in a bunch of balloons – the next clue can be found on the box that shows cartoons”. Place the clue on the TV. The final clue is, “I sure had fun, but before you say good-bye – your bags can be found on the thing that makes clothes dry”. Finally, place the party bags by the dryer.

* Accurate Turn: Put a chair or stool on the playground. The player who wants to participate in this game sits down on the chair. Then he/she is blindfolded. After that he/she stands up, makes 5 steps forward, turns to the right, makes 5 more steps forward and again turns to the right. On having walked the perimeter of the playground in this way, the player stops and sits down on the chair again. The player who manages to do it wins the game.

* Jonathan's Party Games: Once all guests arrived, each child was given one end of a string of yarn. The yarn was woven around furniture, in & out cabinet doors, etc. around the house. The child had to follow the "trail" left behind by the criminal. At the end of the trail (yarn) was a clue as to where the criminal would be. For example, the trail for the Joker ended at a clue that said "I like to play jokes on other folks then hide when I am able. So get down on your hands and knees and look under the dining room table."  The child would then go to where the clue led them. I hid another clue at that spot (ex. next clue for Joker was "You'd thought I'd be here, but I'm not! I played a joke on you again. Go look in the pantry inside the house to see my sinister grin!"  At the next location, they found a card with the villain's picture on it with the word "CAPTURED" stamped across it in big red letters. Once the child found the villain, they brought it to me (the jail keeper). I took their picture holding the card and then put it back into jail (an empty shoe box painted white with bars). I had about 10 villains with clues & poems made up so each child could chase after their own criminal. (Their mom or dad helped them read the clues and decipher them).

* Pauls' Party Games: When the officer walked in he told the kids that Commissioner Gordon had sent him to wish Landon a Happy Birthday and that he had Batman and Robin on the job of finding the birthday cake. The police officer told the kids that they were about to be trained as superhero's so they too could help find the missing birthday cake. The officer said that he was sent to talk to the kids about how a superhero should act, obeying, sharing, being respectful, etc. When he finished his talk, much to the kids surprise Batman and Robin came running in. They called Landon to the front of the room and said that they were here to train the party goers to a special superhero training so they to could help find the cake.  At this point the kids walked through the Gotham City entrance and found a room lit with black lights and clouded with a light fog (provided by a time delayed fog machine). Prior to the party I had arranged with a local toddler gymnastics teacher to borrow several pieces of her gymnastics equipment (mainly mats, wedges,a mini trampoline, etc) to lay out in Gotham City to use for our superhero training.  Under the black lights the gymnastics equipment glowed in the dark and made the room really look like a cave.  My husband used a small garage spotlight with a bat taped over the lens and shined it on the wall to look like the bat signal was being shown in the sky. Once inside Gotham City , my husband had cut from large sheets of card board the city sky line and painted it black, they outlined it with Christmas lights. Entering Gotham City was the highlight of the party!!  At this point Batman and Robin proceeded to show the little superhero's using the gymnastics equipment what kinds of things a superhero should. They covered things like rolling, jumping, climbing up wedges, scooting through a mesh tunnel- it was great fun and the kids loved climbing around with batman and robin.  Once all of the kids had an opportunity to use all the pieces of equipment we left Gotham City and went back into the party room where batman and robin awarded all of the children with a superhero certificate of achievement and a bat cape.  So, all of the kids were split up into four teams (lead by a parent) and lead on a scavenger hunt around the room for the cake.  Each group at the end of there scavenger hunt trail ended up with a wrapped gift that they brought back to robin who was waiting. Once all four gifts were recovered robin unwrapped them to find different parts of the party (ex. party hats, dessert plates, napkins, candles), but Robin declared, "we still don't have a birthday cake", at that moment in walked batman carrying the birthday cake with the lit candles and started singing happy birthday to Landon.  The cake had finally been found by my son's hero, batman!!
