Unbeatable Birthday Game Ideas

Birthday parties have a habit of bringing out the best (and worst) in people. So do board games, which means they are a perfect choice for any birthday. You can even give the games as prizes to your guests!

Scroll up for loads of birthday-friendly board games to make your party rock! We've separated them by age group, youngest at the top. Each section contains six selections, plus a link to many more suitable for that age group.

While parents thinking of game ideas for birthday party celebrations might not even have considered board games, it's time to rethink. Our board game ideas do include more active games that get the kids up and running, twisting their bodies like pretzels, seeking clues around the house, or catching butterflies in nets!

As kids get older, believe it or not, they will want more freedom to be alone with their friends at their birthday parties. Yes, you'll be in the house, but if you think you're going to be involved, you're actually going to be IN THE WAY. Older kids will enjoy the ability to split off into groups and play board games together.

As birthday party game ideas go, the value for money is fantastic when you lay out cash on a board game. You can use the games forever, not just for the party. So when everything else you buy has been crammed into the recycling bin (and isn't that a sickening thought?), your well-chosen board games can be put away for Christmas, Easter, a family dinner, or even next year's birthday party.
