Fire Truck Party Games for a Hot Birthday Party

Fire trucks are a child’s best friend. Whether it’s a fire truck, ladder truck or rescue vehicle, kids just can’t seem to get enough of these bright and loud trucks. This leads to a great theme for a children’s party. Guests young and old can enjoy playing dress-up, drawing their own fire trucks, and even dining on a fire truck-shaped cake. However, to keep the party going and your guests entertained long after the cake has disappeared like a puff of smoke, consider these fire truck themed party games.

Pin the tail on the Dalmatian

This fire station game is sure to make everyone involved laugh. Before guests arrive, decorate or purchase a large image of a Dalmatian, the traditional companion of firefighters everywhere. Then cut off the tail of the image. You will also need a blindfold for this game. Bring all the participants together and explain the situation. There’s a fire in town and of course the fire truck can’t leave without his trusty Dalmatian. And what good is a Dalmatian without a tail? Select a guest to be blindfolded and try to put the tail on the Dalmatian image that he has prepared. To add difficulty, consider spinning the guest after blindfolding them. Also, for safety, you may want to use Velcro tape instead of a sharp pin. To add humor, dress the blindfolded participant in oversized pants, suspenders, a coat, and a firefighter’s helmet. After a preset time, if the guest has not successfully “pinned” their Dalmatian’s tail, select another guest to play.

Emergency!

This firefighter game is great for indoor and outdoor parties. Gather your guests and form a circle. Select a guest and whisper an “Emergency” message to them. For a fire truck theme, try messages like “Help! There’s a kitten in the old oak tree.” or “Oh no! There are knots in the hoses!” The purpose of the game is to pass this message from one guest to another by whispering it from the first guest to the next until the message returns to the beginning. Then everyone can laugh at how the “Emergency” message has changed as it has been broadcast. Select another guest to start the message and pass them another urgent dispatch to be whispered around the circle.

Since their invention, fire trucks have fascinated children all over the world. This means that party supplies with a fire truck theme can be found anywhere. You can even get a fire truck cake or fire helmets for each guest, but to really keep the party burning, try adding these fun and easy fire truck themed party games.
