Smiley Face Party

Games and Activities for a smiley face party

Smiley Face Balloon stomping: For miles of smiles, blowup yellow balloons and
use a Sharpie to create a smiley face. Tie one balloon to the left leg of each
participant. The object of the game is for kids to stomp their opponents balloons.
The last smiley face wins!

Smile on! Have a smile off where the kid who smiles first is out of the game.
When presented the challenge to not smile, kids can't help but smile. Enlist help
from the adults and everyone not participating to tell jokes, make funny faces
and pretend to tickle. As kids exit the game, give them a smiley face sticker.
