Horton Hears A Who Birthday Party Theme
Fun ideas for a Horton Hears a Who birthday party.
Horton Hears a Who party supplies
| Invitations A fun idea for Horton Hears a Who invitations is to buy solid grey invitations - blank inside. On the outside of the invitation draw a line with a green permanent marker for the stem of the clover. Then glue on a piece of pink feather garland - the downy kind. This makes a fun "clover". On the inside of the invitation write the party details. There are many versions of Horton Hears A Who invitations that are already made up - check your local retail store or look online if you don't want to make your own. |
Horton Hears a Who Decorations
Decorate the party area in a jungle theme using several different colors of green and brown crepe paper and balloons. Trees are easy to make with crepe paper by attaching long strands of brown crepe paper high on the wall and letting the streams hang down to the floor. For the leaves of the tree use either green balloons or cut large leaves out of tissue paper and tape onto the wall near the top of the tree. For vines - twist green tissue paper into long tubes and tape along walls, fireplaces and banisters.
For a fun entrance to the party let guest walk through a "clover field" before they reach your front door. Use small wrapped suckers (like dum-dums) and push the sticks into the ground about 1 - 2 inches. Try and buy enough to cover a large area.
Decorate the table with a grey tablecloth and green or pink plates, cups and flatware. You can also use themed plates and cups. Spread pink confetti (think clover field) on the table. (For younger guests after placing the confetti on the table cover it with a clear plastic tablecloth).
Activities
Just like Horton looking for his clover you can send out the birthday party guests on their own scavenger hunt. We have free scavenger hunt lists to print out here. A new spin on the scavenger hunt is the "Bigger Better" hunt. Send out two teams like you would a regular scavenger hunt only start both teams out with a small item - a sucker, penny, paperclip etc. For two teams assign each team either odd or even numbered houses so they won't be going to one house twice. Each team takes their object and tries to trade it for something bigger or better. For example - at the first house they could trade their paperclip for a quarter ... then at the next house trade the quarter for a candy bar ... and so on. This is a really fun game and it is exciting to see what the teams end up coming home with!
Games for a Horton Hears a Who Party
Listen for the Who
For this game you will need two walkie talkies. Hide one of the walkie talkies somewhere in the house or yard before guests arrive. Before the game tell the party guests that they must try and find the hidden walkie talkie. The only clues they have is to listen closely for the "Who's". Have someone in the house make noises or beeps on the other walkie talkie so it can be heard softly from the hidden one. Make the children search for the noise. First person to find it wins a small prize. Kids love this game so be prepared to hide it several times.
Pin the clover on the elephant
Played just like pin the tail on the donkey - only use a poster of Horton holding a clover.
