GAMES & ACTIVITIES

Being as this party is very sweetie based I suggest prizes for games are non candy

 

 

  Bubble Gum Blowing Contest

Photo Opportunity

 Give everyone a sour bubble gum to compete.

or

blow up a pink balloon if the children are too younger for bubble gum

 

Gobstopper Hunt
 

 Hide wrapped jawbreakers all over the party area and give each child a sweetie bag to fill.

Announce that Mr. Slugworth has hidden all the Everlasting Gobstoppers

and that it's up to the kids to find them.

Whoever finds the most, wins.

 

Golden Egg-on-the-Spoon Relay
 

This is when all those cheap plastic eggs from Easter come in.

glue the two parts of the egg together and spray paint gold.

 Divide the kids into two teams.

Give the first player on each team a spoon and an egg

and have them walk as quickly as possible to another side area,

around the chair and back to the starting line, balancing the eggs on the spoons.

If players drop an egg, they have to start over. The team to finish first, wins!

 

Golden Egg Game

 

Inflate golden balloons and pop in some candy

each  child has to sit on their egg to pop it and get the candy.

Dress Grandpa Joe

Parent participation required

.  get together; canes, hats, scarves, coats,

oversize boots/ wellies and nightshirts in a big pile on the floor

Parents race to each pile of clothes and the kids dress them, then race to the front door.

or

Oompa Loompa Crazy Dress Race

 create two sets of similar clothes

 large brown long-sleeve shirts,

white shorts with braces

and a green wig.

 split into two equal teams.

the first players  put on the clothes as fast as possible,

run to the other side of the garden, around the chair, and back to their team.

They must take the clothes off and pass them to the next players in line.

The race continues until all the players have done their relay leg.

The team to finish first, wins!

Make a cone hole game you can find instructions HERE

Paint it to look like a gumball machine

pop in a golden ticket in the balloon as well as fake ones
