Planning an at-home party this year? If so, you might find yourself mulling over some ideas for indoor games.

So, what makes a good indoor game? And what are some fun indoor game ideas?

In my 10 years experience of as a children’s magician in NYC, I’ve found the best indoor games accomplish these 4 important functions:

  1. Indoor games ‘break the ice’ as kids arrive
  2. Keep the kids engaged
  3. Create an inclusive party atmosphere and…
  4. Give the kids a sense of freedom within a given structure

I recently came across an article on Better Homes and Gardens about indoor birthday party games. All of the indoor game ideas are easy to set-up, inexpensive and (most importantly) a lot of fun!

13 Indoor Games for NYC Birthday Parties

1. Memory Game

I have fond memories of playing the original Memory Game as a kid. You can create your own using photos of your child and his or her friends!

3. Toppling Tower

Cardboard boxes are filled with endless possibilities! They’re great for stacking, wrapping, toppling and more!

4. Ice Cream Cone Relay

Relay races are a lot of fun. I like the idea of introducing an edible component to a contest!

9. Finger Painting Table

Let kids channel their inner Picasso! One thing I would add: designate a space for their art work to dry. Then they’ll be able to take their masterpieces home at the end of the party!
