Have 30 mins to kill for son's 7th Birthday, am wondering what party games to do..

Have thought of
Pass the Parcel.. (calming down perhaps activity, after active game ?? )
Musical statues (seemed to go down ok at recent other boy's party)
Pin the football on the goalie ?? (football party)

Does anyone else have any suggestions?

TIA

Don't know why you're asking about games 'for boys'. Unless you were going to get them to drop their pants and do helicopter impressions (& fwiw I'd say they're at least 10 years too young for that game) I can't think of any games 'for boys' - just children's party games.

Musical bumps, Musical statues, sleeping lions.

Pin the football will be hard because you're asking 30 children to line up and wait their turn. Can be difficult.

The "touch challenge" (rename as you like)
When the music stops you need to be touching the floor with 4 parts of your body! (Eg 2 feet, bum and 1 hand)

Mahoosive praise for creativity.
2 parts of your body = 2 feet or 1 foot and 1 hand or bum and 1 hand
...go to town with it! It winds up like solo twister with lots of giggles and the more you praise the crazy ideas, the more you will have "3 = 1 foot, 1 hand and a head!" It's hilarious!!!

Thanks, Lowryfan, it will be an all boys party.. football for 1 hour, (guided by site staff), then food and party.. Was hoping not to get ideas for craft and frozen themes.. as i know my boy and his friends are NOT fans.

Like the idea of minecraft/skylanders bingo.. will give that a thought. Thanks for your suggestions...

A "balloon pop" game went down well with my DS and friends. Set a time limit and see how quick they can sit on and pop 10 balloons. You can split into teams to race each other or get the whole group to do it together to win a collective prize (sweets etc)

Tie a balloon to each child's ankle with a longish bit of string so it trails. Last balloon standing is the winner, noone is allowed to touch any balloons with their hands. Hilarious to watch.
