    40th Birthday Party Games

    40th Birthday Party Games: A list of games that adults love to play while celebrating the big 4-0! Indoor, outdoor and more!

    40th birthdays are a BIG reason to celebrate, and adult parties without party games are just meetings… right?

    Grab the updated list of our favorite indoor, outdoor and fan -favorite board games for adult parties here…

    See MORE Birthday Party Games for Adults HERE!

    Party games can be the highlight of any party! When someone turns 40, the party already has people chuckling because someone is OVER THE HILL!

    40’s Trivia

    This could be played MANY different ways, but here are a few to get you started!

    Host a “trivia night” about:

    • 1940’s trivia (Google facts about important and random things happening from 1940-1949 and quiz your guests!
    • Trivia about the first 40 years of the birthday boy or girl’s life
    • Questions regarding the number 40. (Athletes who wear the number 40, songs in the top 40, or read up on Facts about the Number 40 to pull your trivia questions!)

    Winner of trivia night wins 40 of something! (40 lollipops, cookies, $40, or 40 of the birthday boy/girl’s favorite thing!)

    40th Pinata

    Grab a 40th pinata and fill it with adult party favors like:

    • scratch-offs
    • mini plastic liquor bottles
    • dollar bills
    • candy
    • “over the hill” items like prune juice, stomach acid pills, denture cleaning products, bio-freeze, etc.
    • favorite items of the birthday boy or girl

    The 40th Birthday Game

    Who knew there was a card game specifically for 40th birthdays!? Get it HERE!

    Favorite Things Party & Gift Exchange

    Not necessarily a specific 40th birthday party game, but it’s a party game that guests will LOVE!

    Feel free to incorporate “40” in the game though, to add more of a personalization touch for the guest of honor! For instance:

    • Have each person bring one gift that includes “40” of something (40 pieces of gum/candy, hair barrettes, cigars, etc.)
    • Each person can bring a $40 gift card to their favorite store/restaurant

    See the Favorite Things parties I have thrown to get a better idea of how to do a Favorite Things Party Gift Exchange!
