So you want to throw a monkey theme party, but now you need fun ideas to pull it off. Well you’ve found the right place. I also have a ton of cool ideas that would fit a monkey birthday party at my JUNGLE THEME PARTY GAMES PAGE.
Okay, I guess I had bananas on the brain when coming up with these games, but I’m always looking for new games to add. Let me know how your monkey theme birthday party went, and if you came up with any new ideas. I’d love to share them on my site for other parents to use. Here's the monkey party theme games I came up with, and a few other ideas I came across.

Banana Hunt
Hide little paper bananas all around the playing area. Let the guest hunt them down and trade them in for pieces of candy. you can make the bananas from yellow poster board.

Monkey Blast
This is a twist on one of my favorite birthday party games that I thought would make a great monkey theme party game. As the music is playing the guests toss around the banana’s (long yellow balloons) not letting them touch the floor. When the music stops everyone must grab and hold onto a “banana”. The host calls out a player’s name, and that player must pop their banana and complete the monkey challenge inside. After the challenge has been completed (or attempted) then that player gets a prize. The game continues until everyone has received a prize.
This is a great non competitive game and everyone is a winner. Plus, everyone can continue to bop around balloons even if they’ve already completed a challenge. Some fun challenges are
The challenges do not all have to be monkey related, just fun and silly. Write them out on slips of paper and slip them into the balloons before inflating them.

Monkeys in a Barrel
Purchase one of those monkeys in a barrel games and have the guests stand about 3ft away from the barrel and try to toss the monkeys into the barrel. So simple, so fun. Plus, it's cheap enough to double as a fun monkey party favor for your guests. |

Bug Pickers
Yea I agree, it's a gross concept, but kids LOVE it! Spread some dry rice out on a yard of fake fur material, you can find this at your local fabric store. Place a cup for each player about 5 ft away from the rice pile. Each player must pick up as many grains of rice as they can and race it to their cup. They have 3 minutes. Award prize for most “lice” picked.
