Birthday Fun Party

Your alien visitors will leap from flying saucer to flying saucer in this fun relay game. Before the party, cut four flying saucer shapes (approximately 8" x 10") out of cardboard. (shipping boxes work great for this activity). Let the birthday child color them so they look like real space ships. At the party, divide your guests into two equal lines and give the first person in each line two flying saucers. The flying saucers become the only thing they can step on as they travel from the front of the line, around a chair and back to the line again. The game begins by having the children place one flying saucer on the ground and step on it, then place the other flying saucer on the ground in front, and step on it. They then pick up the first flying saucer and place it on the ground in front of the other, etc. When they reach the finish line they hand the two flying saucers to the next player in line. The team to make it all the way around the course first is the winner! This is a good game for boys sci-fi themed birthday party.

Draw a side-view picture of a Humvee on a large piece of paper or poster-board. Make the door handle and keyhole large enough to be obvious to your guests. Cut out a cardboard key for each guest and attach a piece of tape to the back. Explain to your guests that the object of the game is to place their key closest to the keyhole in order to unlock the Humvee. Blindfold each guest in turn, and spin them 3 times. When they are facing the Humvee, let them go! Award a prize to the winner.
