Physical Activities:

If you have plenty of good hiding spots in your house or back yard, then a unicorn scavenger hunt is a perfect game for the little ones. Hide sparkly or unicorn themed items around your party and create a map with the hidden location of each or let the kids find them on their own. - Ring Toss
A ring toss is another classic game that can be adapted to your unicorn themed party. Instead of tossing rings around a bottle, toss your rings towards a unicorn and try to hook your ring on its horn. - Unicorn Dance Party
Every good party has to have good music. Let your guests show off their movies as they dance to unicorn themed music. - Unicorn Footsteps
Just like red light green light, have your guests try to sneak up on the player that’s “it”. When that player turns around, all the other guests have to freeze in a unicorn pose. If your caught moving, your out! - Unicorn Freeze Tag
Start up a game of freeze tag and let your guests chase each other around to their hearts’ consent. Give the player that’s “it” a unicorn horn so everyone knows who’s looking to freeze them. - Balloon Pop
Give every player a unicorn horn to wear on their head and let them try to pop some balloons with it. Inside each balloon you can add glitter, confetti or other surprises that will rain down once popped. - Unicorn Horn Stacking
Break out your favorite stack-able treat and have your guests attempt to stack as many of them on their forehead as possible. Whoever makes the tallest unicorn horn wins. - Pass the Parcel
For this game, create a giant ball using plastic wrap and hide little toys or candy inside as you go. Pass the parcel around a circle and have your guests try to unwrap as much as they can before their turn is over. You can set a certain time limit, start and stop a song, or have the next person roll dice until they hit a certain number to indicate when the turn is over. Have whoever is unwrapping the ball wear a unicorn horn so everyone knows whose turn it is.
Creative activities:
- Face Painting
Little kids love getting their face painted, especially if it means they get to become their favorite mythical creature.

Have an adult at the party give it a try or even let the children paint each other’s faces. - Adopt a Unicorn
If you plan to send your guests home with a unicorn, then make sure you provide them with an adoption certificate. Let them get creative with naming their new pet and maybe even creating a biography for the unicorn. Check out this Amazon listing for unicorns that come with a certificate and their very own carry case.
