End of the Year Class Party

Today, my daughter's second grade teacher asked me to do an End of the Year class party for Monday. Since I have a limited time for planning and getting supplies together this is what I have decided to do.

Beach Party Theme:

- Kid's make their own Ice Cream Sundaes (Parents can send in toppings)

-Water Balloon Toss - The kids team up in pairs and toss the balloons back and forth, the last group to still have the balloon wins.

- Beach Ball Relay- The kids race with a beach ball between their knees.

-Water Balloon Spoon Race - Teams race with a balloon balanced on a spoon, the team that last the longest wins.

-Limbo

-Ping Pong Ball Toss- The team who tosses in the most ping pong balls into beach pails filled with sand wins.

If you do not have a class party to plan, I think these would also be fun ideas for a Birthday Party.

Also, if any one has any suggestions to improve this party for 19 kids and an hour long, please leave a comment.

It sounds like a lot to do in one hour. It also sounds like a fun day!

Sounds like lots of fun! I think that's a lot to accomplish in an hour but I would rather have too much planned than not enough.

I hope you have several parent helpers!

No crafts? Probably a smart move! :)

Sounds like fun! It seems like they usually just do a foam craft and have a snack. These are some great games to get outside and play. I bet they will love the water ballon game.

I painted some pails for the kids... I wrote CU Later then drew a picture of an aligator beneath and then wrote each child's name on it. They came out really well and the kids love them. I have an extra pail left over and I will let Alexander paint one today. I used the Paint markers and a regular plastic pail that cost less than $1.

I was going to bake some shell shaped sugar cookies to put inside the pail but I just didn't have enough time.

I have a pic on my blog (under my birthday post) and am going to create a specific post for your Friday showcase.

That would be a fantastic idea! My kids would love it if I just did it for the heck of it.

Super Easy Volcanos

Image
I love this project it is so easy and only takes a short amount of prep time. Cheyanne loves making the volcano erupt. We used: plastic plate, plastic cup, aluminium foil, tape, vinegar, baking soda and red food coloring. Tape the bottom of the cup to the center of the plate. Cover with aluminium foil. Cut a hole in the center of the foil and push the edges down in the cup. Spoon in some baking soda. Pour in the vinegar. Watch it erupt.

Fall Toilet Paper Roll Tree

Image
This is a great craft for even young children. I think it turned out so cute. You will need: Red, yellow and orange paint, scissors, toilet paper roll, and green construction paper (or card stock). Cut the green paper into the shape of the tree top. Use fingerprints dipped in the paint as Fall leaves. Cut 2 slits down, across from each other on the toilet paper roll. Slide tree top into those slits.

Father's Day Card

If you Dad is into fishing I think this would be a great Father's Day Card for the kids to make. We used: Fish Coloring Page , tissue paper or crepe paper (cut up into sqares), glue, construction paper, wiggly eye, and a marker. Glue on pieces of the tissue paper and eye to the coloring page. Cut out the fish pattern. Glue on to folded construction paper. Write," Fishing You a Happy Father's Day !!!!" Cheyanne made one for her daddy and one for God.
