Fun Holi games to energise your party

1. Water balloon dodgeball or burst

Divide participants into teams and use colour-dyed water balloons to tag opponents. The team with the most hits wins, creating bursts of laughter and splashes of colour.

2. Holi pichkari target range

Set up targets such as plastic bottles or balloons. Participants use water guns (pichkaris) to knock them down, combining accuracy with colourful fun.

3. Holi tug of war

A classic game where teams compete to pull a rope across a line. The rope becomes multicoloured as gulal, or water, is added, enhancing the festive vibe.

4. Colourful relay race

Teams run between stations, while waiting, members throw dry powder or gulal on runners before passing the baton. This game is great for teamwork, energy, and playful chaos.

\n\n

5. Blindfolded rangoli

Blindfold participants and challenge them to create a rangoli using dry colours. This tests creativity and coordination while producing vibrant, amusing results.

6. Holi antakshari

Divide into teams and sing popular Bollywood Holi songs, like Rang Barse. Each team starts their song with the last letter of the previous one, keeping the rhythm and energy alive.

Adding these colourful and entertaining games to your Holi 2026 celebration guarantees laughter, bonding, and unforgettable memories, ensuring your festival of colours is as playful as it is vibrant.
