Pin the Mask on the Ninja Turtle: The Ultimate Party Game & Printable!
Hey there, fellow party planners! Kinsey here. 🐢✨
If you have a little one at home, you know that the “Ninja Turtle” craze is officially back and stronger than ever. My 6-year-old son recently spent an entire Saturday afternoon “training” in the backyard with a pool noodle, convinced he was the fifth brother.
When it came time to plan a friend’s birthday recently, I knew we needed something classic but with that high-energy Ninja twist. That’s how our Pin the Mask on the Ninja Turtle game was born! It’s simple, hilarious, and—best of all—keeps a room full of energetic “ninjas” focused for more than five minutes.

Why “Pin the Mask” is a Birthday Life-Saver
We’ve all been there: the cake is a hit, the presents are opened, and suddenly you have ten kids looking at you like, “What’s next?” This pin the mask on the ninja turtle game is my absolute go-to because:
It’s Low-Mess: No glitter, no glue, just fun.
It’s Inclusive: From toddlers to 8-year-olds (like my daughter, who still takes her “competitive pinning” very seriously), everyone can play.
It Doubles as Decor: Our high-resolution pin the ninja game poster looks amazing on the wall even before the game starts!

How to Play: Step-by-Step
Print & Prep: Print your pin the mask on the turtle poster. For the best experience, I recommend printing at 18″ x 24″ at a local print shop.
Cut the Masks: Cut out the colorful masks. Kinsey’s Pro-Tip: Use a little double-sided tape or blue tack on the back of each mask instead of pins—it’s much safer for little hands (and your walls!).
Blindfold & Spin: Line up the ninjas, put on a blindfold, give them a gentle spin, and let them try to find the turtle’s face!
The Winner: Whoever gets their mask closest to the eyes wins a “pizza prize” (or maybe just the first slice of cake!).
