Cabbage Patch Kids are still as fun as ever, so why not a party with your child’s friends, their special off-siders and lots of Cabbage Party Kids party games? Having a party with all their special friends will make things memorable for your child. So let’s figure out some Cabbage Patch kids party games that you can use:

“Name That Kid” Cabbage Patch Kids Party Game

This game requires lots and lots of balloons! Write random baby names on small pieces of paper, but make sure all the slips of paper are the same color! In addition to you random baby names, have the names of each guests’ Cabbage Patch Kid on identical slips of paper. Blow up the balloons, placing one of the name slips in each balloon. After placing all the balloons around the party area the guest try to find the balloon with their baby’s name in it. And of course, the only way to find out if that is the correct balloon is to pop it! When each child finds the name of their Cabbage Patch Kid, they are awarded with a small prize.

“Baby Says” Cabbage Patch Kids Party Game

This game is just like Simon Says, with a baby twist! Gather the children together, stand in front of the group, and have your guests do things a baby would do. Instead of commands such as “Simon says clap your hands” or “Simon says jump up and down”, for example, say things like “Baby Says, crawl in a circle” or “Baby Says cry”. And of course, if anyone follows a command that isn’t prefixed with “Baby says…” they have to leave the game. The last guest left in the game is the winner.

If you’re planning a Cabbage Patch Kids party, games add a really fun element. You can use these games as a starting point for planning a really great party.

A good way to celebrate the Fourth of July is with these fun fourth of July kids games.

Torpedo Hunt
Hide a lot of small paper torpedoes in various places around the lawn. Give each child a paper bag and at a signal, which is the explosion of a torpedo, they begin to hunt for the hidden torpedoes. The one finding the most is given a small flag which the children salute by firing off their torpedoes.
The Flag of the Free
With water colors or crayons sketch the American flag on white cards omitting the stars. Give each guest a card and forty-six tiny stars. Wave a flag as a signal to begin placing the stars on the blue of the flag. Ring a bell at the end of five or six minutes and award a small silk flag or a fire cracker candy box filled with candy to the one having his flag the most complete.
Flags of All Nations
Drape the red, white and blue bunting from tree to tree and nail to the trees flags of sixteen different countries; the flags to be numbered. Provide each guest with a card containing as many numbers as there are flags. The guests are requested to fill out the cards with the names of countries the flags represent, and are allowed fifteen minutes in which to do this. He who correctly fills his card in the shortest time is given a prize. Flag stickpins, bon-bon boxes representing flags, or some patriotic book would be appropriate. It is surprising how few are familiar with the flags of different nations.
