Father’s Day Party Game Ideas

Balloon Blast
If it is a nice hot sunny day try playing this game. Gather up as many father’s and kids and divide them into equal teams. Set up two big baskets full of water balloons 30 yards from the line. One player from each team will run from the line and go to their team’s basket trying to pop a water balloon by sitting on it. When they succeeded in popping one of the balloons they run to tag in the next team member to do the same. The team that pops all their balloons wins the game. You can not jump on the balloons or try to pop them with your hands because that would be considered cheating.
Charades
Team up with your father against another father and child to play a fun game of charades. To make it more fun use movie titles or TV show titles that are your father’s favorite. The first team will write some down and give them to the person going first on the other team. Get as many as you can to gain a point and the team with the most points at the end will win. Charades as always been a great party game and both you and your father will enjoy just spending the time to gather.
Blindfold Race
Are you and your father super competitive? Are you guys athletic? Then try this exciting game. Set up an area like an obstacle course with things like planks, chairs, and tables. You team up with your dad and will have to blindfold them. You will have to direct your father through the obstacle course and help them reach the finish line before the other team does. You can set up a prize at the end for both you and your dad to enjoy together.
Just about any dad would enjoy spending his big day at home with the people he loves most, relaxing on the back deck, eating delicious BBQ and playing Father’s Day party games with his kids!
Great ideas! Considering it’s already in the 90’s here in Florida, we would be all about the Balloon Blast LOL
Can’t believe it’s almost Father’s Day! These are all fun games! :)
My goodness I am just loving it. These party games looks so much fun & they can be wonderful game ideas anytime, not just for Fathers day. Balloon Blast would be so much fun & I would love Blindfold Race as well.
These are all fun games to play at a father’s day party. The blindfold race sounds really fun and interesting. Thanks for sharing these awesome fun father’s day games.
Those sound like fun even with dads. Charades is really something that always gets the laughs out of everyone.
While I don’t do anything special fr Father’s day, I think balloon blast sounds like an amazing time!
These are fun ideas, especially when you’re going to celebrate Father’s day with an awesome party. We normally just have a quiet time at home but it would be nice to do this at least, even in the backyard.
