Dog Games for Girls & Boys

For boys and girls who love dogs, dog themed games can bring opportunities for individual or group game play. You can decide if you would like the subject matter of the game to be based on a fictional dog character, an animated dog, a dog currently popular on the small or large screen or a dog that is representative of your child's favorite breed or family pet.

    • The Disney Dog Edition DVD is appropriate for young girls or boys.

      Disney Dog Edition Blue Ribbon Challenge is the digital version of the formerly available Disney Dog board game. It brings the game action to your computer or interactive television screen. Featuring favorite Disney dog characters as puppies, this game is appropriate for boys and girls that are old enough to use the computer. Players take their puppies to compete in a dog show in hopes of winning the top prize. The game, puzzles and brain teasers included on the DVD feature entertaining 3-D environments from Disney dog movies. Disney Dogs Edition Blue Ribbon Challenge is available off and online from big box, toy and movie retailers and places that sell DVD games.

    Dog-opoly and Puppy-opoly

    • Dog treats collected from a baker are the currency for these games.

      Board games Dog-opoly and Puppy-opoly are based on the popular Monopoly games. Players take dogs and puppies to collect deeds instead of the real estate traditional to original Monopoly. The winner is the dog or puppy that has collected the most treats while visiting canine related spots such as dog obedience school. The games offer an educational aspect that includes dog breed information and training tips that can be used on real family pets.

      Dog-opoly is for players over 8 years-old and Puppy-opoly is for younger children aged five to eight. The games are made in the United States and can be purchased from online toy and pet specialty retailers.

    Dog Party Games

    • Used stuffed dogs to play agility, trick or dog show party games.

      For child and dog team games, request that each child bring a favorite stuffed dog of their own or provide the same number of stuffed dogs for each child in attendance. If you ask that children bring their own stuffed dogs, have a few extras on hand in the event that someone forgets. The kids can parade their dogs in dress-up, trick, prettiest or fastest dog categories. For the fastest dog, have the child run with the stuffed dog on a leash. The best team in each category wins.

      You can also use playground equipment to take the children and dogs through a dog agility course. Design an easy course that can be run by each child and dog that includes all the equipment available. The children can carry the stuffed dogs in this game. Time the runs and give the top award to the fastest, the most accurate or the team that conquered the most equipment in the allotted time.

      Create prizes based on the game. Bone shaped cookies, blue ribbon rosettes or dog related party favors work well as prizes.
