Fun Pizza Party Activities and Game Ideas

When hosting your next pizza party at home, consider including a few fun games and party activities. Adults as well as kids love playing games, and after enjoying pizza and other tasty favorites from Padrino's, get everyone involved in the fun. The following party activities and games will make your next pizza party more enjoyable than ever!

Apron Decorating

Decorating aprons is a fun activity for adults and kids alike, and anyone can design and personalize their very own chef's apron. Before the party, purchase plain white cotton aprons for all of the guests, and provide them with an array of fabric pens and markers. Guests can add clever phrases or their favorite graphics. Absolutely anything goes! Kids can have a good time drawing and coloring designs of their choice, and adults will have fun showing off their creative side. It will be fun to compare the finished aprons, and guests will have something to take home when the party is over.

Pizza Memory Game

Memory games are a lot of fun, especially at a party, and pizza party memory games are especially entertaining. Begin the game with the phrase, I'd like to order a pizza with..., and finish the phrase by adding one topping. As each guest takes a turn they add a new topping, and they must repeat in order the toppings other guests have added. The toppings can be real or silly inedible items. When a guest makes a mistake they are out of the game. It will be fun to hear the silly additions and even more fun to find out big this imaginary pizza grows before the game ends.

Pin the Mushroom on the Pizza

Most people have heard of the classic party game for kids know as, pin the tail on the donkey, but few have heard of pin the mushroom on the pizza. Kids love this game, and it is a lot of fun at a party. Draw an extra-large pizza on a poster board, and draw on an array of toppings. Create paper mushrooms with rolled pieces of tape on the back. These are the game pieces, and each player should receive a paper mushroom. Be sure to have a blindfold that will keep participants from peeking. After hanging the poster, slowly spin the first player around a few times, and guide them in the direction of the poster board. Whoever places their mushroom closest to the center of the pizza is the winner. Adults might even want to get in on fun!

Outdoor Fun

Pizza dough is not only meant for eating. It is also meant for tossing, and an outdoor dough toss is a lot of fun for kids and adults alike. Weather permitting, provide participating guests with equal-sized balls of dough that are just right for tossing, and see who can toss the largest crust. Get ready for lots of laughs and loads of fun. Although this is a messy game, it is fun and definitely exciting. This and the other pizza-themed games will make your Padrino's pizza party one to remember!
