Class or Co-op Party Ideas

While decluttering some old folders, I came across these.  Unfortunately, I'm not sure of all of the sources for them...

Valentine Room Party Ideas

GAMES
  • Sweep Your Love Away (K-3):  Need 2 small brooms, 2 pairs of red socks, and tape for goal line.  Divide into two teams and have players take turns sweeping red socks to goal line.  First team who finishes first wins.
  •  Heart Bingo (1-4):  Need Bingo cards with word Heart substituted for the word Bingo and candy hearts for markers.
  •  Heart Hunt (K-2):  Need small colored paper hearts.  About 8 for each child. Hide hearts about the room while class is out of the room.  On your signal the children collect their 8 hearts only so everyone can participate.
  •  Balloon Stomp (K-3):  Need 2 balloons for each child in class and string already tied to balloons.  Tie one balloon to each leg and then have children try to stomp each other’s balloons before someone stomps theirs.
  •  Valentine Relay Race (2-4):  Need one paper heart for each child.  Write an action word on each, such as jump, crawl, hop, skip, walk backwards, clap hands, hop on one leg, tip toe, etc.  Put hearts in the middle of the room face down.  Establish starting lines for each team and have the players line up behind them.  On go, signal the first 2 players from each team to run to the pile, choose a heart and then return to their team while doing the action.  First team to finish wins.
  •  How Many Hearts (K-6):  Need small jar filled with cinnamon hearts candy & pieces of paper.  Have each child guess how many hearts are in the jar.


 Christmas Room Party Ideas

 GAMES
  •  The Christmas Stocking (2-4):  Need stocking cut out of paper with word Stocking written on it.  Have children write as many words as they can using the letters from stocking.  Set a time limit.



Halloween Room Party Ideas

CRAFTS
  •  Egg Cup Spiders:  Give each child a cardboard egg carton cup and four 4” pipe cleaner pieces.  Help the children poke their pipe cleaners through their egg cups to make spider legs.  Have them bend the legs slightly downward.  Let the children paint their spiders black and glue on plastic moving eyes.
  •  Gourd Painting
  •  Paper Bag Pumpkins
  •  Pompom Spiders
  •  Masks

 GAMES
  •  Pumpkin Bowling:  Get 4-6 plastic pumpkin buckets and a small ball.  Stack the pumpkins in a pyramid on a hard surface and let the kids bowl to their hearts content.
  •  Pin the Nose on the Pumpkin
  •  Mummy Wrap
  •  Ghost Bingo
  •  Halloween Tic-Tac-Toe
