Green (Any Color) Party

*This is a party plan for my daughters upcoming party. I will add pictures after and let you know what worked and what didn't.

Theme: Green Party (Really this could be any color party, just switch out your color for green)

Decorations: Green everything with a couple accents of a complimentary color to make things pop.

Games: *The winners will get to pick out beads from a bowl to add to their necklaces that we will make at the end.

1. Balloon Ping Pong with green balloons and green paper plates. Staple paint sticks or wide Popsicle sticks to the plate. Then the kids break up into teams of two and hit the balloons back and forth across a table. I am thinking I am going to have a long table and divide it with tape. Then when they pass it back and forth it has to bounce once on the table to the other person.

2. Balloon Race. Set up a starting line (with green crepe paper or green masking tape) and a turn around point. (I plan on getting two sets of green balloon bunches that are weighted to be our turn around point. This will add decoration and be useful) Separate into two teams. Give each team a huge green balloon (not so big that it won't fit between the kids knees.) The first set of players put the balloon between their knees and run as fast as they can while keeping the balloon between their knees to the turn around point and back. Pass off the balloon to the next team mate. Whichever team gets through their line first wins.

3. Toilet Paper Race. I saw shamrock toilet paper from Oriental Trading. Separate into teams of two. Each team gets two toilet paper rolls. Then you can play this two ways. 1. Race to see which team can undo their rolls of toilet paper first. 2. See which team can unroll the longest strip before it breaks.

4. Questions. This is a fun spot light for the birthday kid. Make a list of questions and answers. I am going to make them multiple choice  Have as many containers as there are questions. In each container put a prize. Then the guest each get a turn answering a question. If they are correct they get to open a container and keep the prize if not it goes to the next child.

5. Green Pom Pom Fight. You will need a bowl (label each bowl with child's name and 5 green pom poms for each child. The kids get to place their bowls anywhere in the room. Then when go is said they run around and place the pom-poms in each others bowls. Only one pom pom per bowl and only one pom pom can be taken out at a time from your own bowl.
(This is an adaption form the cotton ball snowball fight)

6. Find the Green Peanut. Have wrapped boxes in green paper (can also be part of the decoration). Inside fill the boxes with packing peanuts with one of them colored green. The first person to unwrap the box and find the green peanut wins and so on until they all find a peanut and get a chance to pick out a bead.

7. Balloon Pop Prizes. I am going to blow up a lot of balloons and lay them along one wall. In some of them there will be prizes, others none. The kids will each grab the first balloon they touch, run back to the starting line and have to pop the balloon. Then they run back and get another balloon. This also adds some fun green decoration to the room and I will do it towards the end of the party so that it still adds that decoration.

8. Necklaces. With all of the beads that were the prizes for the games we are going to make necklaces and/or bracelets. This is the party favor that I will send home with the girls. If you are doing this for a child who doesn't want to do jewelry then have different green prizes for each of the games.


Cake: Not sure what to do here.
