Medium (3-5 min): Divide the party guests into 2 teams and have them race each other! Choose the race depending on the kids age; options range from 3-legged races to egg-and-spoon relays to racing toy cars down some tracks.

Long (10-60 min): Turn on your PS3 and break out the ModNation Racers! This racing videogame is perfect for racing-themed birthday parties because everyone can play it, no matter what their age or skill level, and everyone will have fun. PlayStation sent us a copy of ModNation Racers to play with, and my boys have been having so much fun.

The basic premise of ModNation Racers is simple: choose a car, choose a driver, choose a racetrack, then use the PS3 controller to maneuver the car around the racetrack. The screen gives you a "3rd-person" view, as though you are looking at the track from the point of view of a camera that is mounted just behind your car and driver, so you can see the road's twists, turns and obstacles. Beginners only need to steer the car, while more experienced players can jazz things up by making their race cars drift, accelerate, brake, spin, leap, even sideswipe other players!
You can race by yourself (single-player mode or time trials), race with your friends (up to four players can race at the same time; the screen splits into 2, 3 or 4, showing each racer's point of view), or join an online race. Naturally, for a birthday party, the most fun option is to race against your friends!

Good luck with your party, and happy birthday to your little ModRacers!.
