WHAT’S MISSING
If you’ve prepared a selection of items for the game above, you can use the same objects to play another one of these baseball party games which is perfect for kids. Just arrange all the objects onto a tray for everyone to memorize, then take away one item and see if anyone can identify what’s missing.
You can also trick them once or twice by not taking anything away and see how long it takes them to realize.

BASEBALL TREASURE HUNT
Treasure hunts always go down well at kid’s parties, and you can create a simple one as part of these baseball party games by hiding cheap baseball cards, available here, all around the house and garden.

You could also mix in a few hidden baseballs which could be more valuable and allow the finder to exchange for a prize.
