It’s nearly every little girl’s dream to be a mermaid. Some just never outgrow it! If you’re planning a mermaid party for your little one, you’ll want to add some fun games to keep the kids entertained. But party games can be expensive, and you don’t want to break the bank. Luckily, there are plenty of free printable mermaid party games available online. I have created a set of ocean-themed mermaid games that are perfect for any age. They are easy to print and include fun activities like Mermaid Bingo, Would She Rather, and more.
Mermaid Bingo
Mermaid Bingo is a fun way to get the kids interacting and having a blast. I have created a set of ten unique boards and calling cards that feature a variety of mermaid-themed imagery.
The game is simple – each player gets one board and must try to be the first person to get 5 in a row, either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.
How to Play:
- Each player gets a board with 25 spaces and must mark off 5 in a row, either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.
- The caller draws cards featuring mermaid-themed imagery one at a time and announces what it is. Players must find the corresponding symbol on their boards and mark it off.
- The first player to get 5 in a row wins!
How to print:
- Download the printable Mermaid Bingo game (link below).
- Print out the 10 boards and 28 calling cards on cardstock or regular paper.
- Cut out calling card and you’re ready to play!
Would She Rather?
This game is all about mermaids. My Would She Rather set includes questions like “Would she rather be able to talk to fish or breathe under water?”. The object of the game is to guess how the mermaid in question would answer. The person who guesses the most correct answers wins!
How to Play:
- Each player gets a Question Card.
- The birthday girl reads each questions aloud as players circle the answers they think the mermaid would choose.
- The player with the most correct answers wins!
How to Print:
- Download and print out my Would She Rather set (link below).
- Cut out each question card and you’re ready to play!
What’s Your Mermaid Name?
This is a fun game that can be played by both kids and adults. Players use the first letter of their first name and their birth month to create a mermaid name.
For example, if your name is Emma and you were born in May, then your mermaid name would be “Emerald Ocean Swirl”. There are name tags included in my set so that everyone can write down there names so they can easily remember their unique mermaid name.
How to Play:
- Gather players and hand out name tags.
- Players use the first letter of their first name and their birth month to create a mermaid name.
- Write down the names on the name tags so that everyone can remember them easily.
- Have fun discussing each player’s unique mermaid name.

Pin the Tail on the Mermaid
This classic game is a great way to get everyone involved and having fun. I have created 3 versions of the game, each with a different colored tail mermaid. Everyone takes turns trying to place the tail in the correct spot. The person who gets closest wins!
How to play:
- Hang the mermaid poster on a wall or door and make sure everyone can see it easily.
- Give each player their tail and blindfold them.
- Spin the player around three times before they try to place the tail on the mermaid poster.
- The person with their closest tail placement wins!
How to Print:

- Cut out each tail and you’re ready to play!
Mermaid Crown Craft
This craft is perfect for those who love to get creative. I have included directions on how to make the crowns and all the materials needed. The players will get to assemble their own mermaid crowns using colorful beads, sequins, shells and other fun decorations. They can then wear them as a symbol of their victory!
