Toddlers – Ages 2-4

Toddlers can only really copy, so these are all copying games!

Princess Hokey Pokey

• You put your “princess wave” in, you put your “princess wave” out…
• You put your “curtsy” in, you put your “curtsy” out…
• You put your “glass slipper in”, you put your “glass slipper” out…
• You put your “whole princesses” in, you put your “whole princess” out…
• You put your “fancy pinky” in, you put your “fancy pinky” out…
• You put your “tiara” in, you put your “tiara” out…

Princess Etiquette Lesson

• Our princess has spent a lot of time in the castle and knows all about etiquette and manners.  She’ll teach your guests how to courtesy, wave, and smile like a princess as well as talk about how to treat others, doing your chores, and being a good friend.  She will also teach them how to pose for photos so all of your photos will have that extra special “princess” touch!

Follow The Princess

• Kids march and copy you. So you start by marching like princes, then skipping like princesses… bowing, waiving, curtsying, wiggling… whatever. Keep all movements themed to your character or to princesses.

Princess Says

• Also known as “Simon Says”. If it was a great game for you–it still is a great game for your child. We have found that children still love this simple game. Most important thing—be sure to try and give everyone a turn.
• Toddlers don’t understand being “out”, so instead just try to make them laugh with “I tricked you!”

Children – Ages 4+

Any of the toddler-age games would also be appropriate. But the ones below are a little too tricky for anyone under 4!

Frog, Frog, Prince!

• Duck, Duck, Goose!

Hot Slipper

• Similar to hot potato. You’ll have a “glass” slipper in your kit. Kids pass it around as fast as they can, but can’t drop it (or they’re out). Once you stop the music, whoever is holding it is out.

 

 

 

 

Game of Thrones

• Musical chairs. The name is my favorite though.

Pardon Me?

• Stand in a circle.
• First girl turns to her left. “Pardon me but what are you doing?”
• Second girl says something silly. Ex: “I’m riding a horse!”
• First girl has to pretend she’s riding a horse.
• Second girl turns to her left. “Pardon me but what are you doing?”
• Third girl says something silly. Ex: “I’m making a pizza!”
• Second girl has to pretend she’s making a pizza.
• Etc.

Wishing Circle

• Have all the girls stand in a circle. Each girl crosses her right arm over her left and holds hands with the girls next to her on either side. The birthday girl whispers a special wish to the girl to her right and it goes all around the circle until the wish reaches the last girl. The last girl then says the wish out loud. The birthday girl tells them if the wish is correct.  You can do this for all girls in the circle.
• Its cute to hear their special wishes. You might have to help them out by giving some examples.
• ie: I hope my friend gets well soon, I hope we visit Grandma soon, I wish my family would

Princess Who?

• Two teams.
• Each team picks one child to act.
• Child acts like a princess, prince, or Disney character (like charades but with talking) and wants their team to figure it out before the other team does. So if Team A’s child is Elsa but she wants to be obvious but not too obvious. If Team A guesses first her team gets a point; if Team B guesses first the other team gets a point. First team to five points wins.

Frozen Statues

• This is a fun activity and one of those really cool kid games! Call everyone into the ballroom and start playing Princess-themed music. The kids dance when they hear the music and every time the music stops, all of the kids need to freeze. Whoever doesn’t freeze is out. The last one to stick around is the winner. (Most children love this game, it lifts up their energy and sometimes it doesn’t need to be a game of taking people out, they might just love the activity of dancing and freezing).

Princess Who Two!

• First child thinks of a princess, prince, or Disney character and tells only you. The other kids go in a line asking only yes or no questions. The first child has to answer yes or no only. You are there to moderate. After the second child asks, only they can ask: “Are you ________?”
