At party each child gets to throw a dart to pop a balloon, once the balloon is popped they read out what letter is printed inside on a piece of paper. If the letter is from the birthday boy or girls name, they win a prize.

Material

26 Balloons 2 different colours to make eyes
26 Letters of the alphabet printed on plain paper
1 Wooden board
1 Tin spray paint to cover board (optional)
1 Black marker to draw pupils
1 Dart
26 Pins

Method

Spray wooden board colour theme of your party (optional).
Cut out letters and add a letter inside every balloon before you blow them up.
Pin balloons to the board putting 2 different colours in the centre and draw pupils on them.

Notes

My son had a yellow 3rd birthday party, we put it on top of a rubber mat all the kids enjoyed.

Good for a party game but be careful of those children that are concerned by loud noises. Could upset them. Most kids would have a great time. Thanks for sharing.

  Yes I was thinking that too, my youngest always gets overwhelmed with loud noises (sensory issues). Also be careful to take enough distance as darts can be dangerous and the aiming of a dart can be quite hard for the little ones.

What an inventive party game, haven’t seen this before. Not sure about darts though :/ I would probably get the kids to sit on them or something to pop them
