Unicorn Games for a Unicorn Party for Kids to Play Outdoor

1. On the Trail of the Last Unicorn – A Simple Unicorn Scavenger Hunt for Children Aged 6 and Over

• Material: Chalk spray, horseshoe or horseshoe template, treasure
• Age: 6-12 years
• Location: Outside
• Number of players: from 4
• Duration: flexible

First things first: a treasure hunt or scavenger hunt is the highlight of a children’s birthday party for children aged 6 and over. Instead of several small games for a unicorn party, the children have a joint mission – with a unicorn theme, of course.

Depending on how much time you have to prepare, you can make the scavenger hunt more or less elaborate. The simplest option is to order chalk spray online, cut a horseshoe out of cardboard and mark the route to the treasure by placing the horseshoe on the road and spraying it with the chalk spray so that when you remove the template, the horseshoe shows you the direction in which to continue.

At the finish you hide a reward.

2. The Legendary Unicorn Treasure – Exciting Treasure Hunt With Puzzles and Clues for Ages 8 and Up

• Material: Chalk spray, treasure if necessary, clues, tasks, stations
• Age: 8-12 years
• Location: Outside
• Number of players: from 4
• Duration: flexibly customizable

You should plan more time for preparation for a real unicorn treasure hunt with puzzles and clues. You can also think about stations with tasks that need to be solved to make the treasure hunt even more varied and design a treasure map. A clue gives the children a hint as to where the next clue is until they find the treasure.

As treasure you can use glittering stones, sweets or, for example, a box full of horseshoes (you can also buy them made of wood), which the children can then decorate and take home as a souvenir.

3. Horseshoe Toss – Games for Accurate Little Hoofed Animals

• Material: Stick or pole, horseshoe
• Age: from 6 years
• Location: Outside
• Number of players: from 3 children
• Duration: from 10 minutes

How the Throwing Game Works

Stick a stick in the ground. Each child gets a horseshoe and tries to throw it as close to the stick as possible.

4. Unicorn Piñata – The Unicorn Game From Mexico

• Material: Unicorn piñata and a stick as well as sweets, small gifts, blindfold if necessary
• Age: from 4 years
• Location: Outside
• Number of players: from 3 children
• Duration: 5-10 minutes

How to Play the Game for a Unicorn Party

Fill a unicorn piñata with sweets, gifts for the little guests or materials for the next game. Here you can find more ideas for piñata fillings and more ideas on how to play a piñata game for children’s birthday parties. Hang the piñata high enough so that the children can just reach it with their fingertips outstretched.

The birthday child starts, takes the stick and is allowed to hit the unicorn piñata three times and try to smash it. Then it’s the next child’s turn. The game continues until the piñata is hit and opens. All the children now collect everything lying on the floor and distribute it among themselves.

5. Save the Rainbow

• Material: Sugar colored with food coloring or colored sand, bowls, spoons, scales
• Age: from 4 years
• Location: Outside
• Number of players: from 6 children
• Duration: 10-15 minutes

Preparation of the Unicorn Game

If you don’t want to buy colored sand, you can color sugar with food coloring. The easiest way to do this is to put sugar with a little food coloring in a freezer bag, shake it and knead it until the sugar is colored. Then sprinkle the sugar onto baking paper or a tray to dry.

How to Play the Unicorn Game

Place two bowls at the finish line and two bowls of colored sugar at the starting line. The children now form two teams. At a start signal, the starting runner of each team fills their spoon with rainbow sugar, runs to the finish line, pours the sand into the bowl and runs back. The next child starts. This continues until the first team’s bowl is empty.

Now it gets exciting: they weigh how many rainbows each team has in their bowl. Not the fastest team, but the team that has saved the most rainbow sugar wins.

Games for A Unicorn Party To Play Indoor

6. Pin the Horn

• Material: Paper horse, clay paper horns, adhesive strips, blindfold
• Age: from 4 years
• Location: Indoors
• Number of players: from 3
• Duration: 5-10 minutes

Preparing for the Unicorn Game

This game is a unicorn version of the classic game “Pin the Tail on the Donkey”. Print out a horse as large as possible or draw one and pin it to the wall.

How the Game Works

Each child is given a horn made of clay paper with their name on it and an adhesive strip on the back. This can be used to attach the horns to the horse. One by one, the children are blindfolded and led to the horse. The children try to stick the horn in the right place on the forehead. Which child places their horn closest to the right spot?

7. Magical Dance in Rainbow Land

• Material: Magic wands, colorful balloons
• Age: from 3 years
• Location: Indoors
• Number of players: from 3
• Duration: 5-10 minutes per round

How the Game Works

All the children are given a magic wand and dance with it through a room full of colorful balloons. One child is the monster and tries to catch the children. As soon as the monster has caught one, it freezes and stops. The other fairy children can free the child by touching it with the magic wand and shouting “You’re free!”.

As soon as the monster has petrified all the fairies, the game is over and another child becomes the monster. If the monster does not succeed, then after a while the rule can apply that the fairies touched by the monster do not turn to stone but become monsters themselves.

8. Unicorn Treasure Hunt At Home

• Material: Treasure or treasures to hide
• Age: from 4 years
• Location: Indoors
• Number of players: from 3
• Duration: 10-20 minutes

A simple treasure hunt in the house is great fun, especially for children aged 4-6. Hide a treasure for each child. The children look for all the treasures and divide them up amongst themselves.

You can also play a real treasure hunt with markers and clues in the house with older children.

9. Most Beautiful Rainbow – Game of Skill

• Material: 2 small packets of Smarties per child, straws, plate
• Age: from 6 years
• Location: Indoors
• Number of players: from 3
• Duration: 10-15 minutes

Preparation

Each child receives a plate with 2 packets of Smarties or the same number of colored chocolate lentils, a plate and a straw.

How the Game of Skill Works

The children suck up the chocolate lentils on the table with the straw and place them on the plate. Which child creates the most beautiful rainbow of chocolate lentils?

10. Unicorn Piggyback Race – Movement Game for Indoors

• Material: Hair bands with horns, cuddly toys
• Age: from 5 years
• Location: Indoors
• Number of players: from 3
• Duration: 10-20 minutes

How the Movement Game Works

You need space for this unicorn game! All the children put on a headband and choose a cuddly toy. They put the cuddly toy on their backs and two children compete against each other in a unicorn race. If the cuddly toy falls down, the unicorn has to go back to the start and run again. The slower child is eliminated and the faster one competes against the winning unicorn of another pair. This continues until the fastest unicorn wins.

11. Who Is the Most Beautiful, Most Colorful, Craziest Unicorn?

• Material: Face cream and theater make-up, gemstones, make-up, costumes, disguise
• Age: from 6 years
• Location: Indoors
• Number of players: from 3
• Duration: from 20 minutes

For this game, you will need as many colorful, garish items of clothing and animal costumes as possible to dress up in. And good theatrical make-up.

The children dress up and put on make-up as unicorns. Then you choose the most beautiful, the craziest, the most colorful, the funniest unicorn, etc. Each unicorn is awarded a title.

Dressing up and face painting is one of the unicorn games for children’s birthday parties that girls in particular love.

How to Play the Unicorn Game

All the children sit in a circle in turn. In the middle is a parcel wrapped in wrapping paper or newspaper and tied with strings in 6 colors. The dice are rolled in turn and the string in the color shown on the dice may be cut by the child. If a color is rolled that has already been cut, the child can neigh loudly, hit the piles, snort and get angry. As soon as all the strings have been cut, the children unpack the package and distribute the contents among themselves.
