kid construction party theme games
construction dig

If you have a sandbox or a kiddie pool that you can fill with dirt this is a perfect kids construction party theme game. Simply purchase a bunch of small toys or favors, ones that can’t be hurt by dirt, and bury them in the dirt. Provide plastic shovels for all and have them excavate the site (dig up the treasure!) They can keep whatever they find.

Alternative to dirt: If you are planning an indoor party or just don’t want the guests covered in dirt you can use package peanuts or shredded paper confetti.

KID CONSTRUCTION PARTY THEME GAMES
Demolition ball

The kids take turn using a DIY demolition ball to try and knock down a wall. You’ll need a lot of cardboard boxes you can stack up onto each other to build the wall. You can get these for free from your local grocery store. You’ll also need a basketball and some rope or twine. Tie the rope around the basketball and hang it from a tree branch. Make sure there is plenty of swinging room and that all the guests can reach the ball. If you have trouble getting the basketball to stay on the rope then place the ball in a plastic bag and tie it off at the top with a secure knot. Then simply tie the rope around the knot.

To play let each child have three turns swinging the demolition ball at the wall knocking down as many boxes as they can. Rebuild the wall after each little construction workers turn.

ALTERNATIVE: For a smaller version, or indoor version, you can use a tennis ball and shoe boxes or cereal boxes.

  • Zig zag their way through orange construction cones while pushing a kids wheel barrel
  • Climb under a table filled with balloons. Simply tie string to the end of balloons and hang them from different lengths under the table. The more balloons the better.
