Birthday party games are not just for the young, but are also for the young at heart.
One unique thing about birthdays is that everyone has them. No matter how young or old a person is, a birthday is something that comes around once every year. While birthday party games may be thought of more for children, activities at birthday parties for the elderly make those special days more enjoyable. Elderly birthday party games unify party guests and bring laughter to a birthday celebration. Does this Spark an idea?
Bingo
It may be a stereotype, but there is a reason that Bingo is a popular game at senior centers and assisted living facilities worldwide--because the elderly enjoy it. Bingo is a good birthday party game for the elderly because everyone can play it while sitting down. Bingo also holds the interest of party guests without moving too fast. Bingo games are available at most warehouse retailers. Everyone enjoys playing for prizes, and a bingo game at an elderly birthday party is no different. Gift cards at book retailers or restaurants are good choices. Another positive aspect of Bingo is that both men and women play it, so everyone at an elderly birthday party can participate.
Birthday Party Trivia Contest
A person is never too old for trivia, especially if it is at a birthday party. A birthday party trivia contest for an elderly celebration helps the guests reminisce and have fun at the same time. Questions for the trivia contest are available by doing some Internet research. You can also find suitable trivia contest questions from the game Trivial Pursuit. If you use these questions, screen them before the party so you can eliminate topics that might not be of interest to party guests. With a trivia contest for an elderly birthday party, keep them short and have multiple contests so that more birthday guests have a chance to win.

The guest who gets the most questions correct is the winner of the game. This game lets all of the party guests get to know the birthday honoree better.
