Firetruck Birthday Party Games
Many games can be “hot” at a fire truck party. Consider the following list, and choose the ones that are most age-appropriate for your partygoers.
Coloring Pages: Coloring books and pages with fire trucks, fire fighters, and dalmations are a great “quiet” activity for this party. This can be a good starting activity; as each child arrives, he or she can choose a coloring page and a pack or crayons. This can keep the early arrivers busy while waiting for the rest of the attendees.
Pin the Badge on the Fire Hat: Before the party, draw a large fire hat on a piece of poster paper. Cut out some badges from card stock (or buy pre-made ones here), and cover them with aluminum foil. Push a pin through the badge and play “pin the badge”.
Firetruck Pinata: A pinata is a fun activity at any party. Simply get a firetruck pinata and hang it up and let all the kids get at least a few swings at the pinata. Then pull the strings to release the rewards!
Fire, Fire, Water! This is the fire truck-themed version of Duck, Duck, Goose.
Hot Potato: Seat children in a circle, and give a beanbag to one child. As you play music, the children will pass the beanbag around the circle. When the music stops, whoever is holding the beanbag is “out”. Play continues until there is only one child left who has NOT been caught holding the beanbag.
Fire Fighter Obstacle Course: Put together an obstacle course in the yard for each partygoer to navigate. Time each child as they put on fire fighter clothes, run over ropes, weave between cones, rescue a pet from on top of a slide, and then take off the fire fighter clothes. The fastest fire fighter is the winner.
