Fun ideas for a Robin Hood Theme birthday party including ideas for Robin Hood Invitations, Decorations, Activities, Games, Favors and Food.
| Robin Hood Invitation Ideas Wanted Posters - Print out party information on parchment colored paper in the form of a wanted poster for Robin Hood. Have an adult burn around the edges of the paper for a weathered look. Attach the invitations to guests front doors with tape or magnets (for metal doors). Robin Hood Scroll - Print out party information and then roll into a scroll and tie with a green or red ribbon. Plain green cards with a red feather or arrow embellishment glued to the front. Robin Hood party hats - print invitations on green paper and then fold into mini Robin Hood party hats. (Youtube.com has a great video tutorial). |
Robin Hood Decoration Ideas
There are two parts to the story of Robin Hood .... Sherwood Forest and Nottingham Castle. Make two separate party areas decorated like both Sherwood Forest and Nottingham Castle.
For Sherwood Forest: Decorate in forest colors - light and dark green, brown and orange or purple. Brown or green tablecloth with artificial vines and flowers in the center. Green and brown streamers and balloons.
Cover a playhouse, swing set or tent with a tarp or brown butcher paper and make a Sherwood forest fort.
The castle can be as easy as renting a bounce house or covering medium size boxes with grey construction paper and building a structure.
Robin Hood Party Activities
Robin Hood Hats - Make Robin Hood hats from green construction paper. (Robin Hood style hat on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nyOOhR9cxFE&feature=channel - use this video to make mini hats and send them as invitations)
Maid Marion Hats - for girls that attend the party (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0Lb0ZPot8I )
Medieval Tunics
Red, Black, Brown or Silver t-shirts. Cut the sleeve ends and shirt bottom in the zig zag pattern. Cut out the t-shirt collar and make a 4" v at the neck. Tie at waist with rope or twine.
Pillowcases - cut a holes the the head and arms. Cut large points at the bottom of the pillow case - then tie a rope abound the waist.
Swords - Make swords out of heavy cardboard by cutting out a sword shape and then covering with aluminum foil.
Robin Hood Party GamesBow and Arrow Contest - Set up different targets for the party guests to shoot a bow and arrow at - use hula hoops suspended from trees with rope, large cardboard boxes with targets painted on them or set up objects on a table for them to knock over.
Gold Coin Toss - Throw plastic gold coins into a treasure chest. Set the chest on the floor (or table) about 6 feet from the base line where the party guests will be standing. Give them each 5 gold coins and tell them to try and get the coins into the chest. To move on the group must get a certain number of coins in the chest - a good challenging number is to multiply the number of pirates x 4. They may have to try over and over to get the correct number in the chest … which will make it challenging.
Coin Search Relay
Help Robin Hood and his merry men find the kings hidden coins!
Hide 100 pennies in a small pool filled with sand (or bubbles and water
in the summer). Teams race to see who can find a coin, put it in their
Robin Hood sack and gather the most coins at the end of 5 minutes. Play
