Planning a Barbie-themed party? You’re in for a treat! With Barbie’s iconic world of glamour, fashion, and fun, the possibilities for party games are endless. For both kids and grownups, these games will make your celebration unforgettable. Here are five creative and exciting Barbie party games to start the fun!
1. Fashion Designer Challenge
Step into Barbie’s stylish shoes with this creative fashion game!
Set up a mini “design studio” with colourful fabric scraps, ribbons, glitter, and stickers. Provide each guest with a mini Barbie doll and some crafting materials. The challenge? Design the most fabulous outfit for Barbie in under 15 minutes!
Once time’s up, have a runway show where everyone presents their creations. Award prizes for categories like “Most Glamorous,” “Most Creative,” and “Best Use of Glitter.” It’s the perfect game for sparking creativity and adding sparkle to the party!
2. Barbie Dreamhouse Scavenger Hunt
Bring Barbie’s iconic Dreamhouse to life with an adventurous scavenger hunt.
Before the party, hide Barbie-themed items (like mini accessories, shoes, or outfits) around the party space. Create a checklist with clues leading the players to each hidden treasure. For a fun twist, group the guests into teams and time the hunt to see who can collect all the items the fastest.
The scavenger hunt can end with a grand prize, like a Barbie playset or a small gift bag for everyone. This game is perfect for getting the kids moving and exploring!
3. Glam Makeover Relay Race
What’s a Barbie party without a touch of glam?
Set up two stations with fun accessories like tiaras, necklaces, sunglasses, feather boas, and washable face paint. Divide the guests into two teams. Each team member must rush to the station, grab an accessory, and “glam up” before tagging the next player in line.
Once everyone has had a turn, snap group photos to capture the fun! Bonus points if the kids come up with fun Barbie-inspired poses for their photoshoot.
4. Pink Paradise Musical Chairs
Turn the classic game of musical chairs into a Barbie-worthy adventure.
Decorate the chairs with pink cushions, glittery covers, or Barbie-themed fabric. Play upbeat Barbie songs (like Barbie Girl or tracks from the Barbie movie soundtracks). When the music stops, everyone scrambles to find a seat!
For added excitement, incorporate Barbie trivia—after each round, ask a fun question about Barbie’s world. Kids who answer correctly get a bonus prize or another chance to stay in the game.
5. Design Your Own Dreamhouse
Unleash everyone’s inner architect with this fun and crafty game.
Provide guests with paper, markers, crayons, and stickers to design their version of Barbie’s Dreamhouse. For younger kids, you can use pre-printed templates of a house for them to colour in and decorate. For older kids or adults, make it competitive—each person has 20 minutes to sketch and decorate their dream house, complete with unique rooms, colours, and accessories.
At the end, everyone presents their designs, and a judge (or group vote) decides the winner. Prizes can include Barbie-themed goodies like stickers, notebooks, or small figurines.
Final Thoughts
Barbie parties are all about imagination, fun, and glamour. These games are designed to bring out the creativity and laughter in every guest while celebrating the timeless charm of Barbie. So roll out the pink carpet, prepare your guests for fabulous fun, and let the Barbie magic begin!
