Construction Party Games and Activities
When guests arrive, suit them up in their hard hats and construction vests. While waiting for guests to arrive they can play with lego and other building blocks
Sand Relay - You'll need sand, shovels and a couple of buckets or pails. Form two lines with the guests and everyone stands in line with a shovel. When it is their turn they take a scoop of sand and run it over to the bucket, dump it in and return to the line. Then the next goes in line. They are finished when the team reaches the marked line on the pail.
Make and decorate a wooden tool box. Use a craft bin for the tool box and add a rope handle. Then let your guests paint and add stickers to make their tool box unique.
Tool Scavenger Hunt - Hide a number of tools and send the guests out with their wooden tool box to fill it up with their found items. Give them a card that has pictures of the tools they are to find. E.g., find one of each: hammer, screw driver, drill, wrench, etc.
Truck Race - Have each guest race a dump truck through an obstacle course made out of construction cones
Traffic cone Ring Toss - Super simple set up. Have a number of orange small construction like cones (pylons). Set them up in a triangle shape. Then toss small rings to hopefully land on the traffic cone.
Construction Zone (remember safety first) have a table with odd pieces of wood, nails, hammers, sand paper, etc. Build and create a masterpiece then paint it. If your guests are really young you can use green floral foam with golf tees and small hammers. Remember to wear safety goggles, hard hats, and watch all your safety precautions.
Building Blocks - Super sized blocks are always fun to play with. There are cardboard boxes that are light and easy to build. See who can build the tallest tower and then have a wrecking ball that can knock it over. For your wrecking ball you can use an umbrella stand without the umbrella and hang a black ball that can swing back and forth.
Construction Photo Booth - Make your own backdrop for your construction party. Use wooden pallets for displays - you can often get these for free as companies need to pay to get them removed. Sand them down and stain with a light stain. Surrounded by a balloon train, street signs, caution tape, tires and pylons. Have construction hats, safety vests, and tools for your guests to hold.
Large Jenga - Make a large jenga set with 2x4s. Make sure all the pieces are sanded down and stained.
If extra time at the end of the party play in a large sandbox
