Pokemon Party Games with Free Printables!
This will be a long post, but we figured keeping all of the activities and information in one place would be worth it! Hope you get some ideas that you can use if you ever get to have a Pokemon party!
We looked a few different places for Pokemon decor and Amazon definitely had the best price for the products we wanted. If you are interested, here are the links:
Red, Yellow, and Black Balloons
TIP: If you are blowing up more than a few balloons, make your life easier and get this balloon buddy! It is a great investment!
This pokeball (pictured above) was easy to make with red and white butcher paper. We just cut out half circles and connected them with black tape.
NOW for the fun activities that we used to entertain all the kiddos! We centered the games around a Pokemon Trainer Training Camp where the kids had to complete certain tasks and demonstrate skills in order to pass and become official Pokemon Trainers by the end of the party. After they passed all their tests, we went on a “Pokemon Hunt” where each kid caught pokemon to take home (more on this later).

1-PIN THE TAIL ON CHARIZARD
Everyone loves a good “pin the tail on something” game and since Charizard is a beloved Pokemon and has fire on his tail, he worked out perfectly! I watched this youtube video and was able to draw a pretty decent Charizard. I printed out fire tails on this sticker paper and then he was ready to color in. I decided to paint him, but just use what you have and make him colorful!
TIP: If you don’t want to make one yourself, here is a pin the tail on Pikachu that you can use for your party game.
The finished result is pictured above! This game was a lot of fun for the kids! I wrote their names on the fire beforehand so we would know who went where.
2- HOT POKEBALL
I ordered these these two Pokeballs and they were a great buy! We used them for two games during the party and then the birthday boy was so happy to own them.
The first game was “HOT POKEBALL,” which we played just like hot potato. The kids pass the pokeball around while music plays and when it stops, the person who has the pokeball in their hand is out. When they were good at one ball, we added the second ball. It was a great time!
3-POKEBALL TOSS
We were lucky enough to snag these two pokeball displays that were empty from the store as targets for our toss games. You could create a bean bag toss from cardboard, have them toss into buckets, or knock down targets.
4-MUSICAL CUSHIONS
We played musical cushions just like you would play musical chairs, but used pillow cushions instead on chairs because our guests were so little. If you don’t know how to play, the kids walk around the cushions that are placed together (one less or two less pillows than people in the game) in the center while music plays. When the music stops, all the kids rush to sit on a pillow, whoever doesn’t get a pillow it out! We had competitive little guys so we decided to take two pillows away each time so two people were out at once.
5- POKEMON MATCHING
Matching was such a hit at the Mario party, we knew we had to do it again. The kids loved it just as much this time.
*TIP: If you do this, attach the card to yarn/string and then tape the yarn/string to the wall. Makes it easier to flip the images over and over during the game.

6-Pokeball Punch Game
We made this game the night before by getting red solo cups, candy, tissue paper (red, white, and black), and with elastics. My kids helped fill the cups with candy, then we placed the tissue paper that we had cut into squares over the top. We secured the tissue paper with rubber bands and placed them into position. We decided to hot glue them onto cardboard so they wouldn’t move.
To play the game, the kids took turns punching one of the cups and then collected the candy inside the cups. We just kept it flat on the ground to punch.
7- DECORATE FAVOR BAGS
We had ordered these yellow favor bags. We got them ready with the favor tags (that we printed when we ordered our invitation) and drew on Pikachu’s nose and mouth. We printed a face on this sticker paper and had the kids finish the rest of his face. We knew we wanted to decorate bags before we did the pokemon hunt so they had something to put their pokeballs into. These pokemon ball bags are a great one and done option!
8-POKEMON HUNT
This was such a fun activity and the boys all loved it! I had ordered these colored vending machine balls and these Pokemon mini figures. We placed the mini pokemon figures inside the balls with some tootsie rolls and sealed them up with this black electrical tape. We did cut the tape in half and added a white circle to the top.
We then hid them in our backyard before the party and when it was time to “CATCH THE POKEMON,” the kids were set free to hunt and had an allotted amount they each could find.
9- AWARDS CEREMONY
Once the kids had found all their allotted pokeballs, they came inside and we awarded them their official Trainer certificate and added more goodies to their favor bag. We let each guest pick a pokemon card and one of these Pokemon Pez Dispensors.

It was such a fun party! We love to have ample activities planned so the kids don’t get bored! We hope you are able to use some of these and enjoy the free printables. Find more party ideas on instagram @inspired2party
