Mario Kart Wii Party Games

Every birthday party needs games.  We will be making Yoshi Eggs for the Yoshi Egg Race that is suggested on this site.  I chose this game because it's something the kids can help me with in advance and it should be a lot of fun!

Yoshi Egg Race
  1. Hard boil eggs and let cool.
  2. Using food coloring, add green dots to the eggs with a cotton swab.  Allow to dry.  (You could also use a green permanent marker.)
  3. Give each child a spoon and an egg to carry in the spoon.
  4. Have all the kids line up and give them a finish line to race to.
  5. The children must carry the Yoshi Eggs on the their spoon to the finish line.  If they drop their egg they must go back to the starting line and begin again.
  6. The winner gets a reward.  I plan to use gold chocolate coins or Hershey kisses.
Another game I plan for us to play is Mario Kart Wii Bingo.  I couldn't find anything online for this so, I made my own bingo cards. 

Mario Kart Wii Bingo
  1. Click here to download and print twelve Mario Kart Wii Bingo Cards.  (Print on card stock to make more durable.)
  2. Print out a Mario Kart Wii Bingo Call Sheet and cut out each picture.
  3. Play Bingo
    1. Give each party guest a bingo card and markers.  We're using Hershey kisses.
    2. Put the cut-out pictures into a bag and shake them up.
    3. Pull one picture out at a time and show it to the children.
    4. If the children have the picture on their card, they cover it with a bingo marker/Hershey kiss.
    5. When a child gets 4 in a row (vertical, horizontal or diagonal) they call out "MARIO"!
    6. The winners get a prize.  I like to use $1 coloring books, crayons, small party favor, etc.
To make your own personalized vof Bingo, visit DLTK Custom Bingo Cards.  They also have premade bingo cards with characters like Pokemon and Veggie Tales.  They also have bingo cards for holidays, baby showers and more.

  1. Great ideas, but you forgot to mention that these bingo cards are not free, you need a membership to get them!

  2. Oh no! The bingo cards are supposed to be free. I made them myself. Thank you for letting me know. I'll look into it and move my documents to another site if they are charging.

  10. Hi Nicole, I am doing a Mario party for a friend's son and your site has been most helpful. I have a problem that hopefully you can help me with, I think there are 14 boys coming and there are only 12 bingo cards. Can I create two more different ones?

    Thank you,

    1. I'm so glad my blog is a help to you. When you download the file for the bingo cards you are able to edit them. Just copy and paste the images and you can create more cards. Best of luck and I hope your friend's son has a great party!

  11. Ok, so I've downloaded the mario bingo cards but apparently I'm trying to open them in the wrong file format b/c it won't let me open the document, and if it does, it's all jumbled and encrypted. What should I do?
