Fire trucks are a child’s best friend. Whether it’s a fire truck, ladder truck, or rescue vehicle, kids can’t seem to get enough of these bright and loud trucks. This leads to a great theme for a children’s party. Guests, young and old, can enjoy playing dress-up, drawing their own fire trucks, and even dining on a fire truck-shaped cake. However, to keep the party lively and your guests entertained long after the cake has disappeared like a puff of smoke, consider these fire truck themed party games.

Put the tail on the dalmatian

This firefighter game is sure to make everyone involved laugh. Before the arrival of the guests, decorate or buy a large image of a Dalmatian, a traditional companion of firefighters everywhere. Next, cut the tail from the image. You will also need a blindfold for this game. Gather all the participants together and explain the situation. There is a fire in the city and of course the fire truck cannot leave without its faithful Dalmatian. And what good is a Dalmatian without a tail? Select a guest to be blindfolded and try to tail the Dalmatian picture you have prepared. To add difficulty, consider turning the guest around after blindfolding. Also, for safety, you may want to use velcro tape instead of a sharp pin. To add humor, dress the participant blindfolded in oversized pants, suspenders, a coat, and a firefighter’s helmet. After a preset time, if the guest has not “pinned” his tail to your Dalmatian, select another guest to play.

Emergency!

This firefighter set is great for indoor and outdoor parties. Gather your guests and form a circle. Select a guest and whisper an “Emergency” message. For a fire truck theme, try messages like “Help! There’s a kitten in the old oak tree.” or “Oh no! There are knots in the hoses!” The purpose of the game is to pass this message from one guest to another by whispering it from the first guest to the next until the message returns to the beginning. So everyone can laugh at how the “Emergency” message has changed as it has been broadcast. Select another guest to initiate the message and pass them another express dispatch to be whispered around the circle.

Since their invention, fire trucks have fascinated children around the world. This means party supplies with a fire truck theme can be found anywhere. You can even get a fire truck or fire helmet shaped cake for each guest, but to keep the party going, try adding these fun and easy fire engine themed party games.
