Birthday games for kids are sometimes hard to come up with if you don't have the best imagination. Perhaps, you are having a hard time especially finding birthday games for your son and his friends. You know that boys are raucous and rowdy. That is a start. Generally, boys like birthday games that are active and fun. Here are a few ideas to get you thinking.

Assuming that you're having the birthday party during the summer, the boys will probably love a water gun fight. You can turn it into the classic Indians and cowboys gunfight by splitting them up into teams. The object of the game? Make the opposing team as wet as possible! When you send out the invitations, be sure to tell everyone to bring an extra set of clothes. By the way, you can find really good deals on water guns if you check out the dollar store, and you'll be able to buy them in all sorts of sizes and colors.

When you're thinking of birthday games for kids, they don't have to be costly. Even a three-legged race will be a hit for boys. Just remember that if you do this game, you need to match the boys up according to size or there could be injuries as a result. Here's how it works: Divide the boys into two teams. Two boys each will tie themselves to each other (right leg tied to the left leg). Each pair's goal is to finish the race first. If the boys are older and you want to make it even more challenging, create an obstacle course.

Another idea that boys will enjoy is playing dress-up. Sound insane? Not if you get the boys to dress up as pirates and let them recreate scenes from their very favorite pirate stories. Better yet, if you plan on having a pirate theme for the birthday party, you could organize a pirate treasure hunt

The spoon race is another fun idea as far as birthday games for kids go. It's easy to set up, too. All you need are spoons and fruits, small balls, eggs, or some other small objects to balance on the spoon. The objective is to have teams hold the spoon with their teeth, and then pass it down the line. The team that wins is the one that passes down the spoon to the end of the line without using hands or dropping the object. This may be too much of a challenge for younger boys, though.

Those are just a few ideas for birthday games for kids. Hopefully you've been inspired to come up with some of your own, too.
