Make Indoor Parties Unforgettable - Even When It’s Cold Outside
Planning a kids’ party indoors this winter? You’re not alone! Parents across London and Essex often worry that indoor venues might limit the fun - especially when space feels tight or weather keeps everyone inside. The good news? With a bouncy castle as your centrepiece, the possibilities for active, laughter-filled games are endless.
At Bizi Bouncers, we’ve helped families and schools host hundreds of safe, high-energy indoor parties. From Ilford to Enfield and across Essex, our team knows exactly how to turn even the smallest halls into playgrounds of imagination.
Why Indoor Bouncy Castles Make Winter Parties Magical
Indoor inflatables are perfect for keeping kids entertained without worrying about rain or muddy gardens. They’re safe, soft, and let kids burn off that party energy. Plus, when combined with the right games, your bouncy castle becomes the heart of an unforgettable indoor celebration.
10 Fun Indoor Party Games to Play Around a Bouncy Castle
1. Dance & Freeze
Turn up the tunes and let the kids dance on the castle - but when the music stops, everyone must freeze!
Anyone caught moving is out, and the last dancer standing wins. This one’s a hit at birthdays and school events alike.
2. Balloon Relay
Divide children into two teams. They must move a balloon from one side of the bouncy castle to the other without using their hands - elbows, knees, or even heads only!
Great for teamwork and laughter (expect lots of balloons popping).
3. Simon Says
A timeless game that’s even sillier on a bouncy surface.
Mix it up with commands like “Simon says jump high!” or “Simon says bounce on one foot.” If you forget the “Simon says,” anyone who moves is out!
4. Obstacle Course Adventure
Turn your indoor setup into a mini adventure park.
Combine the bouncy castle with tunnels, cones, or soft mats. Have the kids crawl, jump, and bounce through obstacles for timed races.
5. Treasure Hunt
Hide small toys or wrapped sweets inside the castle (or around it) and let kids go treasure-hunting.
Make it more exciting by giving clues or riddles to solve before they can claim their prizes.
6. Tumble Race
Challenge kids to roll, tumble, or crawl from one side of the castle to the other.
It’s hilarious to watch - and a great way to tire them out before cake time!
7. Capture the Flag
Split into two teams. Each hides a “flag” (a bright ball, ribbon, or toy).
Players must grab the opposing team’s flag and get back without being tagged. Perfect for slightly older kids who love friendly competition.
8. Dodgeball (Soft Ball Edition)
Use lightweight, soft foam balls and play a safe version of dodgeball inside the castle.
It’s all about quick reflexes and giggles - just keep the throws gentle.
9. Egg-and-Spoon Race
Hand each player a spoon with a small ball or plastic egg.
They must race across the bouncy castle without dropping it! It’s a fun way to mix balance and bounce.
10. Bouncy Ball Pit Bonanza
Fill part of your inflatable with colourful balls and hide little toys among them.
It doubles as both a soft play zone and a mini treasure hunt for toddlers.
