Glow in the dark minute to Win It Games

Summertime maybe coming to a close but that doesn’t mean all the fun has to stop. Try a few of these fun nighttime blacklight and glow party ideas, they’re great for kids and adults, and they work indoors or outside.

#1. Black Light Miniature Golf

An entire 18-hole mini golf course isn’t necessary for fun, just a few holes on a creative course is all you need! This ideas works both inside and outside. 

How To Make D.I.Y. Putt-Putt Miniature Golf Holes At Home:

How will it light up under a blacklight you ask? Simply paint the edges of the boards with Ultra violet reactive paint and use inexpensive U.V. blacklight golf balls!

#2. Glow-In-The-Dark Hopscotch 

For this one you simply need a blacklight source and U.V. blacklight tape.

#3. Bean Bag Toss/Cornhole Game 

For a nighttime bag toss/cornhole game, you have a few options:

1. Paint your cornhole boards in ultraviolet blacklight paint, and/or…
2. Place blacklight tape around both the hole and the edges of the board.
3. Another option is to buy an L.E.D. light strip set made specifically for cornhole boards (pictured above and below).

Whatever option you choose for nighttime cornhole, using lighted bean bags adds even more fun to the game!

#4. Night Bowling

This is best played on a flat surface but you can play on grass if you like.

#5. Beer Pong Or Pong Toss Game 

For a blacklight beer pong game, you will need a table, a set of blacklight ping pong balls, plastic cups, and blacklight tape to tape around the top of the regular clear cups sold at the store.. Of course, they also sell both glow-in-the-dark cups and the U.V./blacklight kind.

Beer pong is clearly an adult game, but can be adapted to a family game with the kids. Do you remember the ball toss game at carnivals and amusement parks? Place some loose change in the bottom of the cups to keep them from tipping over.

#6. Black Light Jenga

Just like Twister, this is another popular game that’s easy to convert into a blacklight game. All you need to do is paint ultraviolet/blacklight paint on the wooden pieces. There is also a giant outdoor version of blacklight Jenga sold online already painted for you and ready to play.

#7. Ring Toss

#8. Treasure Hunt

Hide glow-in-the-dark hollow plastic Easter eggs filled with goodies such as candy, money, glow stickers, goldfish, blacklight balloons, etc around the yard. Since the eggs will be glowing, you will need to hide them well out of sight for the older kids.

#9. Black Light Twister

A new “twist” on the classic game of Twister. Paint colored circles on a tarp with a multicolored set of ultraviolet/blacklight paints.

More Resources For Blacklight Parties And Night Games

We are not affiliated with them, but I found a website called GlowCity.com that offers a wide variety of blacklight games and glow-in-the-dark party supplies if you need anything that was not mentioned in this article.

Party outlet stores also carry a variety of inexpensive blacklight and glow-in-the-dark party supplies. Art and craft stores sell some items like blacklight paint and tape but are a little more pricey than the party outlets.
