Kids Icebreaker Games

• Show and Tell

In your invite, tell each parent to have their child bring something to the party that is special to them for some reason – a favorite stuffed animal, toy, or even a picture of it if the item can’t be taken from one place to another – a fish tank, for instance.

When the children arrive, have them put their favorite item somewhere safe until all the children have arrived. Then have each one come forward and get their favorite toy and tell about it: why they like it so much, what it does, who it is from, etc.

Parents, you may have to prompt some of those toddlers or preschoolers who are a bit shy. Each one should only speak for a minute or so, just enough that the other children see that this child likes the same kind of things they he or she likes.

For the older preschoolers who have the alphabet down, you might have them say their name and then say something they like that starts with the same letter as their name.

Something such as, “My name is Brett and I like balloons.” This lets each child hear the other child’s name and associate it with something they might know something about, also.

• I See Something

Another party game for children that will help open up the party is I See Something.

Choose a child to go first – the birthday child, the youngest child, the oldest, etc. – and have that child describe something that he or she can see in the room or around the area where the party is.

They could describe a plant or a chair or a car that is in the park. The child who guesses correctly goes next.

• If I Could Be

Choose a child to go first in whatever way you would like to do that. The child will say, “My name is ____________ and if I could be any ___________, I would be a ______________ because _______________.”

You can play this game using animals, superheroes, dancers, musicians, characters from a movie, etc. This type of game helps children begin to laugh together and the ice is broken.
