A Cat Theme Birthday Party

Cat Theme Birthday Party Activities

• Use face paint to give your guests whiskers and kitty noses.

• Make or buy headbands with cat ears.

• Make Fun and Fancy Cat Collars -- Buy some stretchy cord and a variety of beads, and let your guests design away. Think about buying one larger charm for each guest to represent the collar charm. These can be made for cats, people, or stuffed animals.

Cat Theme Party Games

• Hunt the Mice -- Hide a number of small plastic mice around your party area and have your party guests act like kittens to find and collect them.

• Unroll the Yarn Ball -- Before the party, wind an assortment of small toys or party favors into a big ball of yarn. Have your guests sit in a circle. Play some music (you might consider the Aristocats Soundtrack or The Stray Cat Strut), and as the music plays, have the children pass the yarn ball around the circle. When the music stops, let the child who is holding the yarn unwind it until she uncovers a prize. Continue the game until everyone has had a chance to find a toy.

• Hungry Kitty Relay -- Place a row of clean kitty bowls (one per child) full of cereal (cat chow) on the floor or on chairs at one end of the room. Line up all of your hungry kitties and have them see who can race down, eat all the food from their bowl (no hands) and race back to the starting line in the quickest time.

• Cat Tail Tag -- Give each child a "cat tail" made from a sock, a piece of fabric, or a long strip of construction paper. Have them stick these into the back of the waistband of their pants to look like a tail. The goal of this game is to grab the other players' tails without losing your own. The last cat with a tail is the winner.

• Kitty Cat Pull-String Pinata

• Name The Cat -- Gather pictures of some well-known kitty cats such as The Cat in the Hat, Sylvester, Garfield, Tom from Tom and Jerry, The Cheshire Cat, The Aristocats, and any others you can think of. See how many of the cats your guests can name.

• Cat, Cat, Dog -- Play a kitty cat version of duck, duck, goose.
