Here, you'll find some fun paper airplane games and crafts to play in a group activity or the games and crafts can be used for a birthday party.
Chase ’N Race Game
Have lots of thin construction paper or plain white copier paper and crayons on hand. Pick the simplest paper airplane design and show the kids how to fold their own. The kids will have fun coloring the paper first.
Have your helpers and volunteers give a hand to each child in folding. A good idea is to practice the folds with your helpers a head of time so you are completely familiar and comfortable making the paper airplanes.
Once all the paper airplanes have been folded, take the kids outside and have a paper airplane race. Here’s how to set it up:
Make a starting line and a finish line on a grassy area if possible. To make it really fun, have the space between the start and finish around the length of a soccer field, but if you don’t have that much space, just make the space as long as you possibly can.
Get all your pilots lined up at the start line, each with planes in hand.
Start the race by shouting loudly, “Wheels up!” (or “Go!”), each racer pilot throws his/her paper airplane as far and as straight as he can toward the finish line.
Each pilot then runs after their plane, picking it up, and throwing it toward the finish line.
Two Rules Only!
No running with the plane. If a pilot runs while the plane is still in his hand, he has to go back to the start line and begin again.
The first person that throws their paper airplane over the finish line and crosses it himself is the winner!
Tip: One of the best planes to make for this game is the ProFlier paper airplane. It’s a good, straight-flying plane.
A good prize for the winner is a Super Dooper fast stunt plane called the Karate Kid.
