TIANA
GAMES
• Bayou Freeze Dance
Play an uptempo song. Encourage kids to dance and show off their best moves. Invite shy kids to dance with you. Every 10-15 seconds, pause the music and instruct the players to FREEZE! Anyone who moves has to make a silly face. Everyone keeps playing until the song is over.
​
• Princess, Princess, Frog
Played like Duck, Duck, Goose! One person is "it" and walks around the outside of the circle. As they walk around, they tap the player's heads and say whether they are a "Princess" or a "Frog". Once someone is the "Frog" they get up and try to chase "it" around the circle. If "frog" does not catch "it" before they can sit in frog's seat, the "frog" now becomes "it". If they do tag "it", that person has to sit in the middle of the circle until another player is tagged.
​
• Kiss the Frog
Played like Hot Potato. Pass a frog plush around the circle while playing an upbeat song. Stop the music periodically. Whoever is holding the frog when the music has to "kiss" the frog and sit out. Encourage them to act like a frog now!
• Bubble Dancing
A fun and easy way to kill some time if necessary. Play Disney
soundtrack songs and dance while blowing bubbles.
Posing: Glamorous and Graceful!
Birthday Coronation Ceremony
The final activity of the party, this is a very special and memorable moment for birthday girls and their families. If parents don't already have their cameras out, encourage them to grab them before you begin! View and download script below!
