- Someone takes a selfie
- Someone says “Remember when…”
- Someone grabs seconds at dessert
The first person to complete five squares in a row wins.
Birthday bingo works especially well for larger gatherings or casual parties.
Birthday Trivia Game
The birthday trivia game tests how well guests know the guest of honor.
Players answer fun questions like:
- What is the birthday person’s favorite food?
- What city were they born in?
- What was their first job?
- What is their favorite movie?
The guest with the most correct answers wins.
This game works well during dinner or after cake.
40 Things We Love About You Activity
This sentimental activity often becomes the most memorable part of the party.
Guests write something they love or appreciate about the birthday person in one of the spaces on the page.
By the end of the celebration, the guest of honor has 40 heartfelt messages from friends and family that become a keepsake from the milestone birthday.
