Barbie Party Game Ideas – Barbie-themed party games are all about embracing fun, fashion, and creativity, making them perfect for a stylish, imaginative celebration. One popular activity is a Barbie fashion show, where guests can dress up in their best Barbie-inspired outfits and strut their stuff down a makeshift runway. You can also host a Barbie trivia quiz, testing players’ knowledge of the iconic doll, her different careers, and friends, or play Barbie bingo with themed cards featuring Barbie’s many outfits and accessories.
For a crafty twist, a Barbie doll decorating station allows guests to customize their own dolls with fun outfits, hairstyles, and accessories. Barbie Dream House scavenger hunts can lead players on a hunt for hidden Barbie-themed items around the venue, and a Barbie karaoke session lets everyone sing along to classic Barbie songs or popular hits from Barbie movies. Barbie makeover stations with face painting, nail art, or temporary tattoos add a personal touch to the festivities. These games turn any Barbie party into a playful, glamorous, and creative experience where everyone can unleash their inner Barbie or Ken!
