Bonfire nights are a wonderful way to bring people together. Whether you’re with family, friends, or neighbors, gathering around a warm fire creates a special atmosphere for fun and connection. To make your bonfire evening even better, here are some great games and activities that everyone can enjoy, no matter their age.
Fun Bonfire Games for Everyone
1. Hot Potato
A classic game that’s easy to play and always exciting. Everyone sits in a circle and passes around a potato (or any small object) while music plays. When the music stops, the person holding the potato is out. Keep going until only one player remains. This game works well for kids and adults alike and keeps the energy high.
2. Mosquito Bite
This game is simple and funny. Give each player five small red stickers (the “mosquito bites”). Players try to stick their bites onto others without being noticed. If someone catches you placing a sticker on them, they get to take one of your stickers. The first to get rid of all their “bites” wins.
3. The Winking Assassin
Perfect for older kids and adults, this game adds a bit of mystery and laughter. One person is secretly chosen as the “assassin.” They eliminate players by winking at them, but must stay hidden. When “killed,” players dramatically pretend to die. The group tries to guess who the assassin is before they get everyone out.
4. Apple Bobbing
A fun and slightly silly activity for all ages. Fill a tub with water and float a few apples in it. Players try to catch an apple with their teeth without using their hands. It’s harder than it looks and always brings lots of laughs.
5. Fireworks Painting
For a calm and creative break, kids can make fireworks art. Using cardboard, paint, and black paper, they dip and press colorful paint to create bright, sparkly patterns. It’s a great way to keep little hands busy while adults chat around the fire.
6. Balloon Popping
Write fun challenges or silly actions on slips of paper and put them inside balloons before inflating them. Each player pops a balloon and acts out the challenge they find. It’s a lively way to get everyone moving and laughing.
7. Campfire Stories and Songs
No bonfire night is complete without sharing stories or singing songs together. Whether it’s spooky ghost stories or funny family tales, this activity brings everyone closer. Singing favorite songs or campfire classics adds to the warm, cozy feeling of the night.
8. Chubby Bunny
This silly game is a hit with kids and adults who love a challenge. Players put marshmallows in their mouths one by one and try to say “Chubby Bunny” clearly. The player who fits the most marshmallows without mumbling wins.
