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!

* Jungle Charades: Have each child pick an index card with an animal picture on it. They will then act out the animal (no words allowed, but animal noises were encouraged) until the others shout out the identity. When the animal is guessed, the rest of the children will jump up and act out the same animal together.

* King of the Jungle says: This game is played just like the classic Simon Says game. You give the children a command and they must act it out. But you must say "King of the Jungle says" before the command because if you don't and the children act it out, they are out of the game. Use commands like: squeak like a monkey, roar like a lion, swing your trunk like an elephant, etc.

* Monkey Toss: First, get a piece of plywood and draw a monkey on it. Cut out a circle in the monkey's belly. Attach a piece of wood to the back which will be used to stand the plywood up. Next give each child a bean bag. They have to throw the bean bag in the monkey's belly in order to win a prize!

* Lost Egg Hunt: Fill up plastic eggs with candy and prizes and hide them throughout a designated area. Let the children go around and try to find as many eggs as possible. Kids love to hunt for objects!

* Safari Animal Hunt: You can either hide miniature animals or animal crackers in a designated area. Have the children hunt for these animals. When they find an animal, you can either have them keep it or turn it in for another prize...you choice.

* Pin the trunk on the elephant: This is a great twist of "Pin the tail on the donkey". First, draw an elephant on a large poster board, but leave off his trunk. Then, cut out enough trunks for each child to have one. Finally, get a blindfold, put double sided tape on the back of each trunk and whoever gets the closest to the “missing trunk” wins. This will be one of your ultimate safari child birthday games in your party lineup.

* Safari Coloring Pages: Give each guest an activity booklet with coloring pages to do either at your party or to take home in a goody bad. Check out our Ultimate Safari Child Birthday Games Coloring Pages . A perfect activity to calm the children down and an ultimate birthday game for your party!

* Jungle Shirts: Get the children into a Safari mood by having them decorate their very own jungle shirt. Have enough T-shirts for each child and provide them with enough fabric paint to create their own shirt. Hang up a clothesline and let the shirts dry during the party. This is a great party favor and activity.

* Who am I?: First, as each child arrives attach a picture of some animal on their back. They must go around and ask other guests questions about their animal. Once they guess their animal correctly, you can award them with a prize.

* Elephant Race: First, divide up the guests into two equal teams. Then each team must form their "elephant". To do this, line up each team in a single file line. Then each guest reaches through the legs of the person in front of them and holds one of their hands and they also hold the hand of the person behind them (who is reaching through their legs), while everyone makes their best elephant noise. Then simply make a designated path they must travel and send watch them go. It will be the most hilarious scene you have ever seen.
