Jungle and Safari Parties

Jungle safari parties are great fun, there are lots of activities and games you can play that tie in with the theme. If you don't have too many kids to look after (or you have help from other parents) you could take a trip to a zoo and see the real thing.

Browse down the page for party ideas, costumes and food ideas.

Jungle and Safari Games & Activities

• Garden safari. Hide animal cut-outs or soft toys around the garden or park. Give the children a list of animals and let them find them all.
• Go to the zoo. You'll probably need some other parents to help with this, for transport and keeping an eye on everyone. While you're at the zoo give everyone their own binoculars (available from Toys Online) so they can spot all the animals.
• If buying a pair of binoculars for every child is not an option, they can make their own as part of the party. Have cardboard tubes (like toilet rolls), scissors, colourful paints, glue and tape and some string or wool (to make a neck strap). Craft Online have heaps of craft supplies.
• Craft activities, such as making animal masks, sculpting animals out of play doh, drawing animals and colouring in.
• Adapt traditional games to have an animal or jungle theme.
  • If you're playing tiggy/tag then the person who is 'it' is a park ranger and everyone else is an animal. You could assign a different animal to each child and they have to make animal noises as they run.
  • Pin the tail on the donkey becomes pin the tail on the tiger/monkey or pin the trunk on the elephant.s
