Blind Pilot Paper Airplane Game -
Fun for a Birthday Party!

Are you planning a party for your kids and need a fun
game for them to play? Here's a quick, fun and easy paper airplane
game to play while you are transitioning to another activity. The
Blind Pilot game offers a lot of giggles and grins for the little
pilots-to-be...
Here's what you'll need:
- a paper airplane
per person [your choice of paper airplane(s)]
- chalk or tape to
mark the end point or target of some kind
- pad of paper and
pencil
First, have your contestants make easy paper airplanes
of their choice. (You can learn how to make 10 great designs on the
Easy Paper Airplanes Website - just follow the link below.)
Next, line up your contestants with their paper
airplanes and aim at a target or a finish point with their eyes
closed.
You'll need someone to be the monitor who will record
the following:
- who throws the closest to the target
- best
nose dive
- highest paper airplane flight
- best landing
-
shortest paper airplane flight
- longest paper airplane
flight
As the monitor/recorder, you can make 6 contests using
the above criteria. Or you can make up and add your own
categories.
What makes this game fun is watching the contestants
do it with their eyes closed. As a variation, have them throw the
planes with their eyes open and record the difference in the flight
categories.
This works well for a birthday party for kids, but
don't limit yourself... If you need an outside classroom activity,
or a team-building event, why not use this fun paper airplane
game?
Happy Flying!
