Pokemon birthday Games
So you have got young boys who love Pokemon and their birthday is fast approaching? Never fear , help is here. Both of my young boys love Pokemon, they’re ages 6 and nine. What is Pokemon you say? Pokemon means “Pocket Monster” in japanese [*T]. The crazy characters evolve into different characters and they use pokemon moves to “fight” one another causing “damage”. This craze has came from Japan, but is highly preferred here in the US. The Pokemon characters all have an HP number, how much the Pokemon is worth and the higher HP cards are highly coveted small boys. Anyway, back to your party issue. I just threw a great Pokemon party for my son’s 9th birthday. He loved it and his pals had a blast. Below are some great concepts for you and they're straightforward and cheap to do. I sat down one night and invented some games that I could make the supplies for and they would be fun to play. Below is a summary list of the games we came up with and read on to get the important points of every one. Keep in mind, these are straightforward, FUN and inexpensive and I am going to tell you exactly how i did it and what you need :
O Pass the Pokeball O Pin the Tail on Pikachu O Pokemon Balloon Dart Throw O Pokemon Master Tracking O Gliscor Bean Bag Score
2. Pin the Tail on Pikachu – Pikachu is one of the main pokemon characters and if your children like Pokemon they like Pikachu. For this game, I found a good image of Pikachu. I utilized a picture out of the Pokemon manual that we have , but if you do not have one of those, utilise a pokemon card of Pikachu, or print a picture of Pikachu at pokemon.com. I purchased a package of 10 white posterboards at a discount store. Glance at the picture and draw an enormous picture of Pikachu to cover the majority of the posterboard ( 1 sheet ). Don’t draw his tail. Utilize a separate posterboard to draw enough Pikachu tails ( shaped like a lightning bolt ) for each party guest to have one. After I drew the Pikachu and then drew the tails, I had my children color the Pikachu and tails, they loved helping. Cut out the Pikachu tails. I had an old cork board that I was in a position to mount this Pin the Tail on the Pikachu game onto so it was regarded as having a strong back and might be hung up outside. Put the name of each party guest on one of the tails and right before they play, add a single strip of double sided tape. When you're ready to play this, use a bandana to cover the eyes of your party guests, spin them around in a circle twice and direct them towards the Pikachu. Don’t allow them to feel their way around, wherever they touch the Pikachu they must put the tail on there, otherwise the youngsters who go last will be ready to tell where to put the tails by feeling where the other kids tails are pinned. Give a prize to the party guest who gets Pikachu’s tail closest to the right spot.
Supplies summarize :
I. Picture of Pikachu Ii. Large white posterboard for drawing image of Pikachu Iii. Huge white posterboard for drawing multiple Pikachu tails only Iv. Double sided tape V. Bandana
3. Pokemon Balloon Dart Throw – children love to pop balloons and throw darts, so put these two things together in a fun and easy activity. The night before the party I acquired fifty balloons at a party store. Each Pokemon character has an HP value, or a points worth. As an example, Pikachu could be sixty HP, Shadowlugia three hundred HP, etc… You will find the names of many Pokemon characters in a Pokemon book or you can find them online at Pokemon.com. Take some plain white paper and cut it into strips that are about one inch high by three inches long. Write the name of a different Pokemon and their HP Number on the strips. We had six boys at the party and I blew up forty five balloons. For instance, you could write Ryperior 90 HP on a slip. Make each slip of paper with a different personality and add the HP number ( use multiples of ten only for the HP values ). We used each character name only once but reused the HP 50, HP60, HP70, HP80, HP90, etc… However we only had 1 personality ( Shadowlugia ) that had the highest HP of HP300, no other card had the HP300 on it.

Cars: Lightning Mcqueen’s Fast Tracks $2.25 Every once in a while, Disney pairs a score-heavy soundtrack to a major film with something a little lighter. Cars doesn’t fit the bill–its soundtrack is star-studded (John Mayer, Sheryl Crow, James Taylor) and its score, by Randy Newman, is about as accessible as they come. So chalk up Fast Tracks–Lightning McQueen’s lighthearted and wholly likable companion piece to Cars: The Soundtrack–to th… |
