Activities


There was a Goose
Set up a treasure hunt using plastic plastic eggs.  Fill with candies or small toys and hide around the area of the party before the guests arrive.  Let them hunt for the Goose eggs and keep them for a favor.

Old MacDonald's Farm Animals 
Hire a local petting zoo that has farm animals such as goats, donkeys, sheep, chickens and rabbits to come and entertain the party guests.  

 



Old MacDonald Party Games


On This Farm He Had A ...
Buy lots of plastic farm animals making sure that you have at least 4 duplicates of each farm animal.  Hide all the farm animals in a sand box or, for the summer, a child's plastic pool filled with water and some bubbles.  Line the kids up next to each other.  Tell them that you will be calling out the name of an animal and they are to run to the pool and find one and then run back again to the starting line. 

 

Say "On this farm he had a .... cow!" and then the kids will all run to the pool and try and find a cow.  If they find one then they get to play the next round.  For younger kids don't make anyone sit out ... just keep playing and calling out different animals.
