Canada Day is indeed one of the most special days in my country, and with kids, this day is bound to be even more intriguing. In fact, what can be better than throwing a birthday bash for your nation? The kids are bound to enjoy the entire idea of the party and you too can have an amazing time with the little ones. The following are some of the best Canada day party games for kids. Try them for an extra special Canada Day.
Canada Day party games for kids
Coloring session
This is one of the easiest Canada Day party games for kids! Just print out some un-colored Canadian flags and give your little ones some crayons, colored pencils or paint. Set them loose and let them try to replicate the flag. If you want to add a little variety to the game, print out flags from different provinces. After kids color them, ask them if they know which flag belongs to which province.
Red and white memory game
Gather the kids around for a little Canada Day memory game session. Here, keep the theme red and white. Place some red and white colored objects in a box, or tape pictures to a board. Give kids a set amount of time to look at the objects or images, then hide it. Ask your little ones to remember everything that is red and white. Have them write down what they remember. The kid who remembers the most wins the game. This game can be even more enjoyable if you split the little ones in several groups.
Maple leaf art
This is probably one of the simplest and the most innovative Canada Day party games for kids. Here, all you need is a spacious garden with a large number of maple leaves. Give each kid an old box colored in red and white. After this, ask them to collect the maple leaves. Once they collect them, give them basic craft supplies (Affiliate) and ask them to create something artistic. They can paint the leaves, paint with the leaves, use them in a collage…anything goes!
Ring around the Goose
For this one, you’ll need some sort of goose lawn ornament (affiliate link). Preferably plastic. Get some rings, have kids stand back and throw them. The goal is to get the rings around the goose’s neck. If you don’t want to go out and buy a goose ornament, you can also play pin the beak on the goose. Pretty much the same as pin the tail on the donkey, but with a goose picture and little beaks.

Awesome games for Canada Day. I’ll have to bookmark this so that I can remember next week. My kiddos would love to do any of the activities above. I’d love to do the Ring Around The Goose!
Very cute ideas for Canada day, can’t go wrong with Maple Leaf art.
I went to Canada a few years ago and really loved it, especially Niagara Falls. Great suggestions for a Canada Day Celebration.
These sound like fun games to play with kids. Ring around the goose sounds like the game I know of as ring toss-I used to love playing that game.
Love the idea for making the Canadian flag using a handprint. Very clever!
I always love memory games because I know it really challenges them. What a great fun list!
What a great list of ways to celebrate Canada Day with kids! Love it.
These are super cute! Although we cannot necessarily benefit from these games, I for sure know a lot of people on my Pinterest who might! I will for sure be posting it on Pinterest! 🙂
Love the Canadian flag craft! My son is too little to enjoy any of these yet, but they sound like such fun. Perfect for creating great memories. Tomorrow will be my son’s 2nd Canada Day, and I can’t wait. I was surprised he was able to enjoy the fireworks last year even though he was only 9 months old. I know he’ll enjoy them even more this year!
I love doing “anything goes” crafts like the maple leaf one. It encourages free thinking and creativity on a whole new level. Sounds like you have enough activities here to keep the kiddos busy all day with festive crafts and games!
Those are such great ideas! Perfect for all my Canadian friends.
A fun way to celebrate Canada Day… I loved learning more about how you do that!
Maple leaf art sounds like a really fun activity!
I really like the fun red and white memory game you suggested!
These sound like fun games for the kids. We play similar games in the US on the 4th. 🙂
Those are very cute ideas for Canada Day fun! I really love the ring around the goose idea and the hand print flag! I’m all into hand print art!
These are such cute ideas! And the handprint Canadian flag is genius!
Love these ideas! My son is a dual citizen (US + Canadian) and although we’re living in the US and intend to stay here I’d like to do things like this with him when he’s a bit older so he can also be proud of and involved with his Canadian side!
