Snip &'n Style Salon
Young children enjoy playing "beauty shop," but they probably never get the chance to use tools such as scissors or a curling iron. In Snip &'n Style, a free online Barbie game, they&'ll have the opportunity to do just that. The game is set up as though the girl whose hair they get to cut, style and color came to them with a photo of a hairstyle she&'d like to have. The object of the game is to match the hairstyle in the photo exactly. This can be slightly tricky since it&'s hard to tell from the photo just how many layers are in the desired hairstyle. The girl they start with has three layers to her hair, but if kids cut too much or not enough, it won&'t be exactly like the photo. Kids must match the desired hairstyle before time runs out or the game will end. If that&'s too challenging for them, kids may also opt to simply style the girl&'s hair any way they want without trying to match a photo or having a timer.
Guess What&'s Missing
Barbie dolls come with many accessories, such as shoes, brushes, clothes and purses. With so many accessories, kids who own Barbie dolls sometimes have a separate container specifically for holding their accessories. Fun-kid-birthday-parties.com has a fun game idea that uses these accessories. Have all players contribute their own accessories. You&'ll need to lay all of the accessories out on a tray and let players look at them for one minute. The more accessories you can put out, the more challenging the game will be. After one minute, the person holding the tray will take it to another room and remove at least two items. They&'ll bring the tray back while players try to guess which accessories are missing. The winner of the game will be the person who correctly guesses the missing items.
Glam Splash
"Barbie in &'A Mermaid Tale&'" is a lively movie about a girl who discovers she&'s part mermaid. She learns to enjoy some of the benefits being a mermaid offers, such as having underwater friends and being able to breathe underwater. In Glam Splash, a free online game, kids will swim along with Merliah at the start of the movie. They&'ll guide Merliah through the water, dodging dangerous sea creatures such as sharks, jellyfish and stingrays. They&'ll also be on the lookout for accessories such as a watch, tiara and hair comb.
