Charades is always a great homemade birthday party game to play at your next birthday party, and no particular skills or accessories are needed. Just choose a subject, like a movie for instance, and play act almost each particular word, so that your audience can guess which movie you are thinking of.
A similar handmade birthday party game can be done with a blackboard and chalk, or a large pad. Instead of acting out the words, you can use a drawing, and have the party guests guess what movie you are trying to explain.
Depending on the ages of the birthday guests, there are lots of children’s homemade birthday party games to play, as well. A cake hunting game can be fun, if the children know how to read from an index card. They each get clues as to where the cake is hidden, written on the index cards. Whoever finds the cake first starts singing “Happy Birthday,” and it is quickly lit, made a wish upon, and served.
Another handmade birthday party game that is fun at just about all parties is Who’s Hiding the Button. You can use a button, or you can use your imagination to hide something else just as small, but something that is perhaps part of the theme if there is a theme for this particular birthday. Each guest gets the button passed onto them, at various inadvertent times during the party. And once in a while, the host asks “who has the button?” Each guest tries to convince the others that they don’t have it, but when the others are sure that one has it, it needs to be revealed.
