monster birthday party game
Do your kids love monsters? Birthdays? And playing games? Brilliant! Why not combining all three to create a monster birthday party game?! Or spice up a play date with monster-loving kids.
Every kids loves monsters at some stage, right? Well, mine do. We organised a Monster Party when Mr S turned 3, with lots of ‘monster crafts’ (DIY felt monsters, colouring pages), snacks and games (tossing bean bags into a big cookie monster made from plywood that we made ourselves). It was good fun, but I secretly wish that had the current monster game idea at the time, I’m sure the kids would have loved it! But no matter, we can play it now..!
How to make the monster birthday party game
1. Gather all materials:
2. Take a toilet paper roll and make the mouth and teeth at the bottom (see pictures below).
2. Decorate the monster: draw eyes or use stickers. Surely the kids can help!
3. Pinch the top of the toilet paper roll to make the ears (front and back).
5. Print and cut the numbers. You will find the download link below. I used heavy paper (200 g/m2), but I think normal weight paper will work as well. You can always reinforce.
6. Attach the number to the monster: tape the number to a wooden cocktail pick and stick this into the head of the monster (that sound more cruel than it is!). Cut a small hole to facilitate this.
Playing the game
Line up the monsters. I put them close together to make it easier to score. Secure them if you must. Use masking tape to mark the ‘start position’ (an imaginary line would do for well behaved kids ; )
Give each child 3 marbles and let them roll the marble towards the monsters. Add up the scores to find the winner.
Free instant download
You can find the free monster game downloads here, in two paper sizes, A4 and letter.

As always, keep an eye on the marbles and those little mouths! Play with kids older than 3 years old.
