Welcome to Mickey's Clubhouse! Here you will find our pick of
games that we have used at our Mickeyparties. We have included inside
and outside games so you can pick and choose the games that are right
for your party. No matter which you pick your birthday boy or girl and
guests are sure to have plenty of fun with Mickeyand friends.
Mickey Mouse CLUBHOUSE ICE BREAKERS
Ice breakers help the children get to know one another and feel more
comfortable so I do ice breakers at all my parties, no matter what the
age of the children (or adults). I like to do them early on so everyone
is more relaxed from the beginning. Here are my favorite Mickey Mouse Clubhouse ice breakers that I think you're little guests will enjoy.
CLUBHOUSE NAME GAME
Tell the children that Mickeyis happy to have more friends in his
Clubhouse and would like for them to introduce themselves. Next, explain
how to play the name game.I used a stuffed Mickey Mouse toy but you
can use a ball, balloon or even a small pillow. Have the birthday boy or
girl go first and say their name, then throw the object to another
child. That child states his or her name and throws it to a child and so
forth until everyone has had a turn.
WHO'S YOUR FAVORITE?
Have the children sit in a circle and take turns telling who their
favorite Clubhouse character is and why. One may say he likes Donald
Duck because he talks funny. Another may like Goofy because he is silly.
If you are like me, you will be amazed at some of the things the
children come up with.*This ice breaker is best for older preschoolers.
PASS THE EARS
This fun game can be played with all ages. Have the children sit in a
circle and take turns putting on a set of Mickey Mouse ears then telling
something about themselves. Younger children may just say how old they
are or something simple while the older ones may tell something they
like to do or their favorite color.
MickeyHOT POTATO
This game is Mickey's version of Hot Potato. Have the children sit in a
circle and turn on some Mickeymusic. Give the birthday child a stuffed
Mickey Mouse or any soft object and have him or her throw it to another
child. Explain to the children the object is to get rid of the object
as quickly as they can and that whoever has the object when the music
stops is “out”. Make sure that being “out” is a fun thing so no one gets
upset. Play until only one child is left in the circle. * Mickey Mouse Clubhouse CD is available online as well as plush Mickey Mouse toys.
MEESKA-MOOSKA Mickey Mouse This game is played much like “Duck Duck Goose”. Have all the children sit in a circle. Pick one child to start the game. He or she will walk around the circle and tap a child on the head and say, “meeska”. Then he or she taps the next one and says, “mooska”. Then “Mickey” and “Mouse”. The
child tapped as the “Mouse” must jump up and try to tag the child who
is “it” while “it” tries to sit where the “Mouse” was sitting before he
or she gets tagged. If he or she does, the “Mouse” becomes “it”. If “it” is tagged by the “Mouse”, he or she remains “it”.
PIN THE EARS ON MICKEY Put
a fun twist on the classic “Pin the Tail on the Donkey” party game and
pin the ears on Mickey. You can make your own by downloading and
printing out a large picture of Mickey Mouse and then printing out a set
of ears that the children will use to try to pin on to Mickeywhile
blindfolded. The child who comes the closest to the appropriate spot
wins. What I did was to use a large piece of white flannel for the
background and then traced and cut Mickey Mouse out of pieces of felt
and glued onto the white background. Then I traced and cut a set
of Mickey Mouse ears. No pins were needed when the children played the
games as the felt ears stuck to the felt Mickey Mouse.
MICKEY'S CLUBHOUSE OBSTACLE COURSE
Mickeyand his clubhouse friends must find the clubhouse! Designate a
“clubhouse” such as a cardboard box painted like the real clubhouse or
an imaginary one like a table or chair.Line the children up in two
even groups and place various objects between them and the clubhouse.
Lawn furniture, pillows, empty boxes and even toys make great obstacles
to go under, over and around. “ Let one team start the game off.
The first player braves the obstacles to reach the clubhouse where he
will grab a set of Mickeyears and run back with them, passing them to
the next runner. Then it is time for the next team to race. Time each
team and the one with the fastest time wins.
MickeyMAY I? You guessed it! This
fun game is like “Mother May I?”. One child starts the game off by
being “it”. The others form a line and follow the instructions beginning
with “MickeyMay I?” such as, “Mickeymay I take one step?” The
children would take a step. “Mickeymay I pat my head?” means the children pat their heads. “Touch
your toes,” does not start with “Mickeymay I?” so any child who
touches his or her toes is out. Let the children take turns being “it”.
DONALD DUCK TAG
Explain to the children that Donald Duck is trying to make it back to
the clubhouse before he is tagged. Using one non-helium balloon, let one
child be Donald Duck.He will throw the balloon into the air and try
to run to a place that is designated as the clubhouse before any of the
other children can catch the balloon and tag him. If he is tagged, the child who tags him gets to be Donald and try to make it safely to the clubhouse. · Use a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse or Donald Duck balloon for an festive touch. ·
If you want to go all out, let your birthday boy or girl help you make a
clubhouse out of a big cardboard box before the party. You can use it
for other games as well.
GOT YOUR EARS ON? Have the children divide into two teams. They can name their team if they would like to. The teams line up beside each other and the first child in each group is given a pair of Mickey Mouse ears. On
the count of three the first child on each team puts on the ears and
then quickly takes them off and passes them to the player behind them. The
object is to get the ears to the last player as fast as possible but
each child must put on the ears and take them off, passing them to the
person behind them, without dropping the ears. If the ears are dropped, the team must start over. The team that finishes first wins.
MICKEY'S CLUBHOUSE PINATA
No birthday party is complete without a Mickey's Clubhouse Pinata. It is
always a hit! Hang Mickeyup and let the children take turns trying to
break open the goodies. Older children can be blindfolded before their
turn just make sure the other children are out of the way.We supplied
the children with Mickey Mouse favor sacks so they could scoop up the
goodies and store them right away. We found this is helps to avoid
conflict on whose treats are whose .
MickeySAYS This game is fun and easy and the children love it! It is played like the classic game of “Simon Says”. Let
one of the children be “it” first. Or, you can be “it”. “It” gives a
command, beginning with “Mickeysays...” such as “Mickeysays touch your
nose.” The rest of the children then follow the command and
touch their nose. Then another command is given. If the command is not
started by “Mickeysays...” then the children are not to follow the
command. If anyone does, they are out and are out. The game ends when only one person is not out or when time has run out, whichever happens first.
PLUTO, PLUTO...WHERE'S YOUR BONE? “Doggy,
Doggy, Where's the Bone?” is a great classic children's game and Mickey
and his clubhouse friends have their own version. One child is
designated as Pluto and will sit in chair in front of the others with
his or her back turned to them. Place a “bone” under the chair. You can purchase a real dog bone, make one using our homemade dog bone instructions or just use a pretend object like a shoe. Have one of the children steal the bone, very quietly. The child then hides the bone on his or herself. The
children (except the one who is playing Pluto) join together and chant,
“Pluto, Pluto where's your bone? Somebody stole it from your home.
Guess who-maybe you! Maybe monkey's from the zoo! Wake up Pluto and find
your bone!” Pluto then turns around and has three tries to guess
who stole his bone. If he or she guesses correctly, he or she gets to be
Pluto again. If not, the one who took the bone gets to be Pluto. Continue the game until all or most of the children have had a chance to be Pluto.
MickeyMASKS
Who wants to be a mouse? All the children will want to with these fun mouse masks. Let the children make Mickey Mouse masks out of black paper plates. Give every child a black paper plate. Cut ears out of the extra plates and help them make two holes for eyes. Give each child a red pom-poms for a nose. I
placed small bowls of glue around the table and gave each child a large
popsicle stick to dip into the glue for easy application but look what
happened when I left a bottle of glue unattended as I turned to grab the
camera. Little ones are quick! Glue or tape a popsicle stick to
each so the children can hold their masks over their faces. The children
loved that part. Write each child's name on his or her creation and let
them take their mask home as a reminder of the Meeska-Mooska-Mickey
Mouse fun time they had at the party.
