Party and floor games

Party and floor games rather than board games: bowling and boxing sets, ball mazes, memory and matching games, bow and arrow sets, Connect 4 and domino trucks.

These are the games that need a floor and more than one child, which makes this the section to look at before a birthday rather than before a quiet evening.

The other thing worth knowing is that most of it packs away small. A memory game, a set of dominoes or a folding target fits into a bag for a weekend away, which a full length bowling set does not.

How to choose

The dividing question is how many children will play at once. Memory and matching games work one to one with an adult and make a good first game, because the rules fit into a single sentence.

Bowling, bumper balls and boxing sets need floor space and at least two players, and they are the ones that work at a party. Anything with a target or a launcher needs a rule about where it gets pointed before it comes out of the box. Games with a proper rulebook sit in Board Games.
