If you have enough hay bales place them along the walk way to the party. Scatter hay along the sidewalk and in front of the walkway to the party entrance. White tablecloths look great with bandana printed napkins, plates and cups or use a red and white checkered pattern tablecloth with solid color plates and cups. Centerpieces made from cowboy boots filled with artificial flowers. Fill glass vases or metal buckets with bright yellow sunflowers and then tie with a blue bandana. Cowboy Party Games Cowboy Dress up relay - Collect 2 sets of cowboy clothes with items like jeans, overalls, cowboy boots, cowboy hat, bandana, chaps, sunglasses, cowboy shirt, etc. and put them in 2 different piles. At the other end of the playing field or the starting line have 2 teams line up one after the other. The object of the game is for each person on a team (one at a time) to dress up in the clothes tag their team members and then run back, undress and tag the next person in line. The relay continues the relay until everyone has had a turn. Horseshoes - Horseshoes is a fun game and one that is easy for everyone to play. How to play horseshoes. Cowboy Cow Patty Throw - You'll need hula hoops (or large baskets) and brown frisbees. Teams line up behind each another and try and throw the frisbees through the hula hoops or into the baskets. Give point values to the targets. Cowboy Hat Toss- Cut several stars out of thick cardboard and paint them yellow. Place a cowboy hat on the ground and have the children line up behind the throw line and toss their stars inside the cowboy hat.Variations: Instead of stars you can tie a bandana around a ball. Use 5 cowboy hats lined up in a row and let them try and make it into the #1 hat first, then the #2 hat … etc. ending up with the farthest away #5 hat. Cowboy Roundup - You'll need a rope lasso and a children's ride on horse. Teach the children how to throw a lasso around the horse's head.Cowboy Relay Races - Make up races and have kids do them with mop horses. You can also buy stick horses. Divide into teams. Have the cowboys stand one behind the other. The first player from each team rides their horse to the opposite end of the playing area, around a cone (or a hay bale) and back. 1st round: Ride horses around a cone and back.
