Episode 8 - The Fun of the Party (Ninjago)
The birthday boy and his mom (me).
~ Games ~
The snakes made out of cardboard tubes pictured in Thursdays post (and below)
were used for the Chinese star throwing game. Each child had a paper star that my husband
made out of cardstock. The children were given a chance to decorate their star and then
we took turns trying to take out the snakes. Think of it as bowling with a star.

Love this amazing shot of my son throwing the star!
We played a Wonder Ball type game with this cool snake ball I found at Dollar Tree.
Instead of singing your typical Wonder Ball song, thanks to my kiddos, we sang:
Instead of singing your typical Wonder Ball song, thanks to my kiddos, we sang:
"My Poison Lies Over the Ocean."
"My Poison Lies Over the Sea."
"My Poison Lies Over the Ocean."
(sung to the tune "My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean.")
The child with the ball at the end of the song was out.
The picture is a little blurry but I wanted you to see the ball.
The next game we played was inspired by the Karate Kid and the brown clothespin like
The next game we played was inspired by the Karate Kid and the brown clothespin like
chopsticks that I bought. Remember when Mr. Miagi was trying to catch the fly with chopsticks?
We tried to catch the butterflies from the "Elefun" game with chopsticks. Only two children played
at the same time (to ensure no one was poked in the eye). The kids had a lot of fun with this game
even though it was hard!

One of the highlights of the night, was posing for pictures in front of the faux "Rice Screens."
This idea was inspired by a similar one that I saw on Pinterest thanks to Craft, Interrupted.

I used her cool Ninjago signs as props for the photos. Thanks for sharing those, Jaimee. I will
sending each child there own picture strip. Ninja Photo Booth Printables
I used a Ninja font that I downloaded (made a stencil). The Ninja fonts were also used
for the invitations and the fortune cookie sayings.
Last but not least was the singing of Happy Birthday. Instead of a cake, the birthday boy
wanted ice cream sundaes. Of course, I had to make something to go with the theme -
Ninjago cake pops. I used fondant for the yellow Lego face and drew the eyes on
with cake decorating markers.
Fortunes for the Fortune Cookies
Check out how cool the screen looks as a backdrop for the birthday song!
