Games for Kids — Indoor, Birthday & Classroom Party Games

Fun games for birthdays, classrooms, family time and playdates. All 51 games are free to play, with no sign-up needed.

These free kids party games let the screen be the game master. It plays and stops the music, calls out "Simon says", counts down the scavenger hunt and keeps score. That way, the grown-up can join in instead of refereeing.

Games are grouped by the age they suit best, but most work for younger or older children too. Many have a Kids setting that slows the pace and keeps the rules gentle.

Nothing needs an account, a download or a printer. Open a game on a phone, cast it to the TV for a party, and tap Fullscreen so everyone can read it across the room.

❓Kids Party Games — FAQ

Which games work for a 4-year-old's birthday party?

Musical Chairs, Freeze Dance, Duck Duck Goose, Pass the Parcel, Hot Potato and Pin the Tail work well for four-year-olds. The music games have a slower Kids music style, and Freeze Dance can be played without knocking anyone out.

What are good quiet games for kids?

Memory Match, Riddles, Word Scramble, 20 Questions, Who Am I?, Tic Tac Toe and One Word Story are all played sitting down. They suit the time after lunch, the end of a party or the hour before bed.

What are the best movement games for kids?

Musical Chairs, Freeze Dance, Hot Potato, Red Light, Green Light, Duck Duck Goose and the Relay Challenge Generator get everyone moving. The screen runs the music and the timing, so the grown-up can play too.

Which kids games need no equipment?

Simon Says, Red Light, Green Light, Duck Duck Goose, Freeze Dance, Telephone, Who Am I? and 20 Questions need nothing but a phone and the players. There is nothing to buy, set up or print.

Do I need to print anything?

No. The screen shows the prompts, plays the music and keeps score. For scavenger hunts, pass one phone around or show the game on the TV.

Can I run these on a classroom smartboard?

Yes. Open the game and tap Fullscreen. On a keyboard, Space starts the next round and F turns fullscreen on or off.

Do these games cost anything?

No. All 48 games on this page are free kids party games that play in the browser, with no sign-up, no download and no paywall.

Are the games safe for children?

All content in the Kids settings is written for young players, with no scary, romantic or adult prompts. Teen games such as Mafia are social games with no mature content.
