Materials for hedbanz game diy
- Elastic headbands for girls (Purchase on Amazon.com in bulk)
- Scrap Paper – Sheets of 8.5 x 11 inch paper cut in quarters
- Pens, Markers and/or Crayons (purchase these in bulk on Amazon.com)
Get started on your own hedbanz game diy
- Have the children draw a picture with the word of picture underneath on each quarter size piece of paper. Example: drawing of a monkey with the word “monkey” written out under the drawing on same quarter sheet of paper; just like the original hedbanz game.
- Continue having children draw their own photos and words on each quarter sheet of paper, until you feel the supply is a decent amount to play your own hedbanz game diy with.
- Once the cards are all drawn, hand each child an elastic headband and let each secretly choose a drawing. Note: child cannot see the drawing of what they place on their own head, but the other players can.
- As each child is setup with their drawing in the elastic headband and the hedbanz game diy is all ready to be played …

This is a great idea! It covers all the bases for family game night. It’s fun. It lets the kids be creative, and I personally love that it’s DIY.
This sounds like a lot of fun. I will have to do this with my niece and nephew when they come over.
This does sound like a fun game. I might have to try playing it with my kids. Thanks for sharing! Have a terrific weekend!
I have been eyeing the original version of this game in stores for quite some time, but it never seems to go on sale. I love the thought of creating our own version!
Oh how fun. My kids wanted to get the actual game but I think this would be a much better idea. I think it would be a lot of fun!
Great idea for the kids.
I like its silly nature as well – very healthy for kids to be able to laugh and have fun.
How fun to make your own Hedbanz game. Very frugal way to go.
Such a good idea to make it yourself!! I think this is such a fun game. 🙂
We LOVE this game. We take it to swim meets in the summer where there is lots of waiting around. It’s so fun. BUT I love your idea of making it even more. How creative! Would be great for road trips.
What a great idea! I love it because we can base it on the kids knowledge level. Perfect for our family with a wide range of ages
