Bumblebee Party Activities
Bee Antennas
You'll need black and yellow pipe cleaners, black ribbon and
black or yellow plastic headbands. Twist a black and
yellow pipe cleaner together. Wrap one end around the
plastic headband and secure by twisting it around itself.
Make a second antenna the same way
Cut ribbon the length of the headband and put it next to the headband ... punch two holes in the ribbon that match the spacing of the antennas. Thread the pipe cleaners through the holes (one for each antenna) and then glue the ribbon to the headband. Glue large pompoms on the ends of the antennas.
Bee Face Painting
Paint the bumblebee guests faces to look like bees. Use our homemade
face paint recipe.
Flower Pollen Hunt
Buy plastic flowers and small prizes.
Before the party write a number on some of the flowers with a permanent
marker and write a corresponding number on the prizes. Hide the
flowers all over the party area. Give guests a yellow or black
sack (or basket) and tell them to find as many flowers as they can.
After the bee hunt they can trade the numbered bees for a prize that
corresponds with it's number.
Bee Nature Scavenger Hunt
A great activity for the backyard or park. Make 2 teams or more
teams.
Our
nature scavenger hunt list
is free to print out and use for this game.
Pin the Bee on the Hive
Play this game just like Pin the Tail on the Donkey.
Draw a large beehive with a beehive entrance on a poster and hang it
on the wall. Cut out yellow circles from paper and draw
black stripes on one side. On the other side write the child's
name or a number.
One by one blindfold the kids and let them try and pin their bee the
closest to the beehive entrance.
Beehive Landing
Younger children love this game.
Cut large beehives out of poster board or felt. Make one beehive per guest.
Put the bee hives around the floor of the area you will be playing in. Tell
birthday guests that they are going to pretend to be bees. They
will fly around the room when the music plays … but when the music stops
they must find a beehive to land on.
If you give away prizes: Before the party buy
small prizes - enough for each guest - with a bee theme. Number
each prize. On the back of each beehive write down a number that matches
a number on each prize. When the last round of the game is played
tell players to pick up their beehives and find the number on the back.
Then let them pick up the number of the prize they have on their hive.
Variation: Instead of beehives use flowers.
