Race Car Theme Party Games

These Race Car Theme Party Games are fast, furious and fun!

So take your pick from the Race Car Party Games below and be prepared for some fast fun.

Depending on how many kids there are, it might be fun to have the kids do all the race car theme party games in teams.

At the end of the party, the team which has gained the most points is declared the official winning team. Of course, though you will make sure that all the drives get something!

The following are mostly team games. When a team wins they are give a number of points which can be marked on a board.

Alternatively they could win a wheel or car sticker which is placed by their team name on a board. Tot up the number of stickers at the end of the party and present small trophies or badges to the winning team.

These games go really well with my Race car theme party ideas.

Hot Wheels

Split the kids into teams and give each team a tyre. Pick a size and weight that is suitable for the ages of the kids. Each team player takes it in turn to push the tyre along a marked track and back again. The first team to finish wins.

Bouncy Racers

Hire a bouncy double slide and have the kids race down. At the bottom they must pick up a flag and then race to place it on a podium. When each team member has done this and placed all their flags on the podium, then the captain must race to fire the starter pistol. First team to do this wins.

Musical Pit Stop

This is rather like musical chairs. In advance prepare a number of different colored flags (4 or 5 would do). Place these around the room and on the floor mark out an area with chalk, cushions or tape. Don't make it too big. Put on the music and get the kids dancing about. When the music stops, you shout out a color such as "Yellow Pit Stop" and all the kids have to rush over to that area. The last one to get into the colored area is out.

Pit Stop

Divide the kids into teams and each team elects a pit stop leader and the others are his crew. In advance hide a set number of Lego/Duplo pieces in a sandbox. On a piece of paper use drawings to show the kids what pieces/colors they need to make a car. The pit crew have to race and find the required number of pieces and the pit stop leader then has to use them to build a car. The fastest team wins.

Find the Flag

Teams must race to find the checkered flag. Depending on the kids ages, give them clues/rhymes as to where it might be.

Ramp Racers

If there aren't too many kids, buy a mini hot wheel racer (or any small toy car) so there is one for each child. In advance set up a mini racing ramp. You could create this out of plastic piping set on a slope or a piece of wood propped up to create a slope. Each kid dips his hand into the bag and selects a car (no peeping!) and they get 3 goes to let their car race down the ramp. Which car will travel the farthest? The kids love this game yet it is so simple.

Pin the Wheel on the Car

Simple but fun. Draw a big car and stick it to the wall. Blindfold each child and spin them round a couple of times and then get them (still blindfolded) to try and place a wheel on the car.

Conquer the Cones

Create 2 lines using traffic cones (give it a few twists and turns). If you can't get hold of any cones, make some by just wrapping orange and white crepe paper around any suitable shaped object such as an upturned waster paper basket. Also place a checkered flag in the ground equidistant from each team. The teams are each give a tennis ball and bat. With the ball on the ground they have to push it around the course using the bat and then back again. When each team member has been, they then race to grab the checkered flag. First team to get the flag wins.
