Fireman Birthday Theme

Fun ideas for a Fireman Birthday Party including decorations, invitations, activities, favors and food plus fun Fireman themed games to play. Choose your favorite ideas and then put them together to make a 4 alarm party that everyone will enjoy!     Color Scheme: Red and white with touches of yellow and black

Birthday Invitations
Red invitations with fireman / fire truck themed stickers.

Go to the local Fire Department and ask if you can take a few pictures of your child on one of the fire trucks.  Take the pictures and have them developed and then glue to the front of blank cards to an easy and adorable party invitation.  

Many fire stations have free fireman helmets, stickers, coloring pages etc. that they will provide for your party. Don’t forget to bring along some sweet treats for the firemen while you are there!

Fireman Dress Up Relay
Place two sets of almost identical items in two baskets. Find things that firemen would use - rain boots, rain coats, fireman hat, length of garden hose rolled up … etc. Then break the guests into two teams and have them line up behind each other. The first person in line from each team must run to the baskets, put on the clothes and items, run back to the start … then run back to the basket, take the items off and run back to the start to tag the next person in line. The team who finishes first wins a prize.

Firefighter Training
Set up an obstacle course in the back yard with tires, obstacles, tunnels, planks etc. Place a kitten or Dalmatian at the end of the relay race and tell them they must brave the course, rescue the animal and then make it back to the start. Split up into two teams and run the course relay style or let them run through it individually and keep track of their time with a stopwatch. Once they’ve mastered the course make them run through it again holding a length of garden hose or backwards.
