🎯 “Pin the Horn on the Unicorn”
Give a classic party game a fantastical twist! Create or print a giant, pastel-colored unicorn poster (bonus points for glittery hooves and flowing rainbow mane) and cut out sparkly paper horns with each child’s name on them. Alternatively you can save time by purchasing a set (see link above).
We all know how this one goes, but just as a reminder - Blindfold the little ones, spin them around gently, and watch the giggles erupt as they try to “pin” the horn in just the right spot. Everyone’s a winner in this fun-filled, friendly challenge!

🌈 Rainbow Treasure Hunt
Scatter glittery clues or rainbow-colored gems around the party space and send the kids on a quest to find the Unicorn’s Lost Treasure. Each clue leads them to the next, with small surprises (like stickers or mini treats) along the way, and a magical prize chest waiting at the end. Perfect for active play and team spirit!
This can be simplified for the young ones by just having them close their eyes while the unicorn gems are scattered, before starting their search.
--------------------------------
🎨 Magical Storytime & Chill Corner
For a cozy break, lay out fluffy cushions and fairy lights, and invite the children into a dreamy reading nook. A performer (or a parent in a unicorn onesie!) can read a short unicorn tale or lead a calming moment of magical imagination. It’s a gentle way to reset after all the excitement.
