A Monster Birthday Party

Monster Birthday Party Decorations

A monster pinata can be a fun party decoration and activity all in one!

The color scheme for a monster theme party should be fun and vibrant. Think purple, bright orange, and lime. You can easily incorporate your party colors in your decorating by using them in your balloons, streamers, and tableware.

Here are some more monster party decorating ideas:

• Monster Tracks -- Welcome your guests to your party with a trail of big, green monster tracks! To make these, cut fun shaped footprints from green construction paper or sticky contact paper and lay them in a trail to your front door.

• Let a monster Greet Your Guests -- Design your own fuzzy, frightening, or funny monster from a large piece of colored butcher paper and hang him on your front door to greet your friends.

• Monster Lanterns -- Hang round paper lanterns with neon colored wiggly eyes or make construction paper eyes and glue them on. (You might also add eyes to your balloons to make them instantly monster-ous!)

• Cover Your Table with Fur -- Bring your table to life! Visit your local fabric shop to find a few yards of colorful shaggy fur fabric to use as your tablecloth.

• Make a Monsterish Centerpiece -- Fill an assortment of glass jars, beakers, or vases with eyeball ping pong balls and a variety of different eyeball candies.

• Eyeball Confetti -- Scatter neon colored wiggly eyes on the table.

• Little Monster Placecards -- Place little plush monsters holding small cards with each guest's name at their seats at the party table.

• Play Some Monster Tunes -- Make a CD with fun songs like "Purple People Eater" and "Monster Mash" to add to your party atmosphere.

Monster Birthday Party Activities

• Mummy Wrap Game -- Divide your guests into two groups. Have one child in each group volunteer to be the mummy. Everyone else is a wrapper. Give each group about 3 rolls of toilet paper and see which group can come up with the best costume for their mummy. (Or hold a race to see who can use all three rolls to cover their mummy first.)

• Do a Monster Craft- Put out a collection of materials for kids to make their own paper bag monster. Suggestions include: Markers, buttons, wiggly eyes, construction paper, pipe cleaner, furry fabric scraps. For an easy all-in-one craft, you can purchase a monster puppet making kit.

• Play Monster Relay Games by having your guests race wearing monster stomper feet or swim fins.

• Play What time is it Mr./Ms Monster? - This monster party game is played like "What time is it Mr. Fox?" Players line up and one is chosen to be Mr. Monster. That person closes his eyes and faces away. The others try to get close enough to tag him. One at a time they ask, "what time is it, Mr. Monster?( 2 o'clock = 2 steps etc.)When Mr. Monster senses the others getting close, he shouts, "Dinner Time!" and chases the players back to the starting line. If he catches anyone, they are the monster for the next game.

• Have a Monster Toss -- Paint a number of monster faces with open hole mouths on a big piece of cardboard. Hang this and see who can toss a beanbag the most accurately to feed the monsters. (You can buy a pre-made version of the monster toss bean bag game at Amazon.)

• Make Monster Faces -- Set out some different facepaint and monster dress up props. Let your guests turn themselves into little monsters. Take pictures of the kids making funny faces. Put them in their thank you cards.

• Read monster themed books:

• Play "Hot Monster" -- Have your guests sit in a circle. Turn on some monster themed music and have them pass an ugly doll monster around the circle. Whoever is holding the monster when the music stops is out. Continue until there is one player left.

• Show a Monster Movie - Suggested monster movie titles include:
  • Monsters, Inc.

  • Monster House

  • Scooby-Doo 2 - Monsters Unleashed
