Ladybug Themed Birthday Party Games
A ladybug themed birthday party is such a fun birthday theme. When I was thinking of games for this theme I was imagining this party for the five and under crowd. I wanted to make the games fun and non competitive. This is usually the best way to go with the younger ones. They can be a little tender hearted when it comes to naming someone a winner or a loser. Some of the games are going to need a bit of creative elbow grease to put together, others are easy and simple. I also searched around a few good sources I know to find some adorable ready to purchase ladybug games for those of you that are short on time.

Kids really love tossing the spot at the ladybug. For this game you will need to draw or print out a poster size picture of a spotless ladybug. Next, cut and glue strips of Velcro all across the wings. Hang the poster on the wall and your target is ready!

Ladybug, Ladybug, Where's Your Spot
In this game one child is designated as the ladybug and must turn their back on the other children and close his or her eyes for 15 seconds. During that time one of the children will sneak up behind the ladybug and take her spot (this can be anything from a black button to a black pingpong ball). The child goes and sits back down with the others and hides the spot under them. Then all the children chant;
Ladybug, Ladybug, Oh what will you do?
Someone swiped your spot, can you guess who ?
The child who is the ladybug then turns around and gets three chances to guess who swiped it. If they guess right they get to be the ladybug again, if they guess wrong the person who swiped it gets to be the next ladybug.

Ladybug Scramble
For this game you will need to paint 20 ping pong balls to look like ladybugs, or you can use ladybug buttons. Place 10 in two different bowls, and place two empty bowls on the other side of the game area.
When you are ready to play line the children into two separate teams, each behind one of the bowls with the ladybugs inside. One player from each team must place a ladybug on their spoon and rush it over to the other bowl with touching it with their hands or dropping it. Once they drop it in the other bowl they run back to their team and pass the spoon to the next player who does the same. This continues until one team has successfully transferred all their ladybugs over.
