Dinosaur Birthday Party Theme Ideas
Fun ideas for a Dinosaur themed birthday party
| Invitations Trace a large dinosaur footprint onto the front of a blank white card. Write party information on the inside. Print the Dinosaur party invitation information on a small piece of paper - 5 to a 8x11 sheet. Cut them out and roll into scrolls. Put them inside plastic eggs with some speckled jelly beans for a dinosaur egg invitation. Decorate white or solid colored blank cards with dinosaur footprint stickers. |
Decorations
Decorate the Dinosaur party like a jungle with green streamers and balloons. Set out blow up dinosaurs and pictures of dinosaurs, volcanoes and or meteors.
Games
Make a dinosaur volcano
Make a fun dinosaur volcano that really erupts! Make a volcano shape with clay or play doh. In the center place a plastic tube about 1" wide and 5" high that will come right to the volcano top, but not be seen. When the guests are done forming their volcanoes around the tube place a small amount of baking soda in the bottom of the tube (about 1"). When everyone is done have them stand back a few feet and pour about 2 Tablespoons of Vinegar into the tube with the baking soda. The chemical reaction will make the volcano erupt ... bubble over the top of the volcano.
The party guests can make one large one, or set out play doh or clay so they can make their own dinosaur volcano to take home.
Survive the Meteor
| Stay away from
the meteor and the new meteorites. Choose who will be “it” for the game. Mark two lines on each end of a large play area or field. The meteor will stand in the middle of the two lines. Fun ways to choose who's it |
The meteor calls out to the other players “ Come _____ across my meteor field.” (The blank is filled in by what the players must do as they are crossing the meteor field. Hop, twirl, swim, run, run backwards, etc.) Then the players must follow the command and try and make it to the other side of the meteor field without being tagged by the meteor. Any player that is tagged becomes a meteorite and has to stand in the spot where they were tagged. In the next round both the meteor and the meteorites try and tag players as they go by.
The last player tagged becomes the new meteor.Game Variations:
Instead of becoming meteorites the tagged children hold hands with the meteor and help tag players.
The meteorites can catch players as they run by so the meteor can come by and tag them. Pin the teeth on the T-Rex
Played like Pin the tail on the Donkey, only guests try and pin the teeth on the T-Rex. Buy a large poster of a T-Rex (or any dinosaur) and trace the teeth onto paper. Make several copies of the teeth and then cut them out. Place a number on the back of each set of teeth so the guests will know which one is theirs. Put sticky tape on the back of the teeth and give one to each child. Line the children up about 10 - 15 feet from the poster. One by one blindfold them and spin them around 3 times. Tell them to stick their T-Rex teeth as close to the mouth of the dinosaur on the poster as they can. The closest to the original wins a prize.
Variation: Give a prize to the winner and then have small prizes for everyone who played the game. A fun way to give the prizes is to number several small prizes before the party - then have the children find the number on their paper teeth. They get the prize that matches the number on their teeth.
Dinosaur Egg Hunt
Hide lots of plastic eggs all over the backyard or park. Give each party guest a backpack or bucket and tell them to find all the eggs they can.
Either fill the eggs with candy or place numbers in some of the eggs for special prizes. The guest who gets a number in their dinosaur egg gets a small prize that matches that number.
Dinosaur Excavation
Hide small dinosaurs and prizes in a sandbox. Give the party guests small shovels, brushes, etc. and tell them to excavate the dinosaur fossils (prizes).
Activities
Make plaster of Paris dinosaur (or human) footprints or handprints. Mix Plaster of Paris according to directions. Pour into small pie pans - one for each child. While still wet let the Dinosaur party guests make handprints or footprints in the plaster. Also leaves twigs make interesting impressions. Add jewels or other embellishments while still wet. Set up to dry and let the guests take them home as a party favor.
