Jungle Theme Party Games
Hey it's a jungle out there, if your throwing a safari or jungle theme party you'll want to check out these jungle theme party games and decorations.
My jungle party games offer a variety of options from simple and easy to elaborate D.I.Y. games that will take a little creative elbow grease from you, others are as easy as print and play.
Let's get this party started with some awesome jungle games!
Safari Jungle Theme Party Games
- Jungle Fruit Bop-
The children pass around the jungle fruit (balloons of different shape and size) while dancing to the music. When the music stops all the explorers grab a fruit and freeze. You then pull a child’s name out of the bag and that child must pop open their fruit and complete the jungle challenge inside. These challenges are simple and fun and geared to their age level. Some fun challenges can include:
- Acting like a monkey, lion, snake, bear etc.. for 30 seconds.
- Rub your tummy and pat your head at the same time.
- Give a bear hug to the person standing next to you.
- Sing your favorite song.
- Stand on your head.
- Stand on one foot and clap your hands.
- Crabwalk across the floor.
- Stuff a marshmallow in your mouth and sing your abc’s
Use your imagination when coming up with challenges and give prizes out for effort. Have twice as many balloons prepared as there are players. This ensures every child has a balloon when the music stops. Start with one balloon for every child then add one after every round.
After the challenge is completed that child receives a prize, and the game continues until all the children have received a prize. This fun jungle party game is always a hit.

- Catch a Tiger by it's tail-
Another game that will go great with your jungle/ safari theme is catch a tiger by his tail. It has all the fun of a piñata without the frustration! You (or another fun spirited adult) must play the tiger. You don’t have to wear a full tigers costume but you will need a tail. The guests must chase the tiger and, you guessed it, try to catch her by the tail. When she is caught she throws out candy and escapes again while all the children are collecting scooping it up. Then the chase is on again! This game continues until all the candy is gone. To make a tail you can use something as simple as a scrap of cloth or rope tied around your waist with a long piece hanging down the back.

- Lilypad relay -
For this safari game you’ll need four lily pads, two for each team. You can make these out of green poster board. Divide the players into two teams. One person from each team goes at a time. They must use their lily pads to make it to the finish line and back without touching the ground.
They do this by hopping on one lily pad the putting the other in front of them and hopping on that. When they return to the start they pass the lily pads to the next player. The team that finishes first wins.
If you’d rather not play with winners, simply let each child collect a small prize or piece of candy after finishing their turn.

- Get the Snakes -
Baby hippo wants to play in the water hole but she’s too afraid because of all the snakes! In this jungle party game the little explorers help her out by using craft sticks to remove the toy snakes from the water hole (kiddie pool filled with shredded paper) and into the snake keeper (basket).
Each child receives two craft sticks that they use to pick up with snakes with. The children work as a team to get them all out.

- Get the Snakes -
In our printable snake scavenger hunt each player is assigned a snake card and must search through the party area to find the four hidden snake fact cards that go with their snake ( it is color coordinated so players know which facts go with which snake). Each one of the facts has a piece of a puzzle on the back.
When they put the four pieces together it will form a letter. Once all players have put their puzzles together they can then put the letters together to reveal the secret hiding location of the treasure or prize.
