Star Wars Party Ideas

Star Wars Party Decoration Ideas
Hang glow in the dark plastic stars and planets from fishing line outside on trees for the guests to walk through on their way to the party. 

Decorate the party table with a black table cloth and solid color gold plates, napkins, cups and flatware.  Place gold star confetti on the party table.  Hang strings of small white lights around the ceiling or walls to look like stars.  

Star Wars Party Activities
Star Wars Piñata
Make or buy a Star Wars themed piñata.  Blindfold the guest and tell them to use the force to smash the Piñata.  While guests are arriving let them decorate black or gold bags with Star Wars stickers and stars to use later in gathering candy for the Piñata.

Star Wars Party Games
Light Saber Balloon Balance
Give everyone a plastic light saber and a blown up balloon.  Have the party guests stand in a big circle  and then tell them to keep their balloon in the air by hitting it up lightly with the light saber.  If the balloon touches the ground they are out ... last one with their balloon in the air wins. 

Light Saber Relay
Teams move a balloon from the starting point, around a cone, and back to the starting point where they will hand their balloon off.  Divide kids into teams and have them line up one right after the other.  Give each team one light saber and one blown up balloon.  One by one they must move the balloon by hitting it gently on their light saber around the cone and back to the line.  The balloon can not touch the ground.  If it touches the ground that person must go back to the line and begin again.  First team with all of their players to finish wins. 

Jabba the Hut Slime Relay
Fill two containers with lots of slime.  Place them at the end of the playing field.  At the other end set up two see through containers that both have a mark or fill line at the same height.  Divide party guests into two teams and give each team a plastic spoon.  The players must one at a time run to the slime, fill the spoon with the slime, run back to the starting line and place their spoonful of slime in the see through container.  Guests continue one after the other until one team's container reaches the fill line. 

Asteroid Treasure Hunt
Before the party make lots of "asteroids" by crumpling up aluminum foil into balls.  They can be all sizes.  Inside some of the "asteroids" place a prize or a number that they can turn in for the corresponding prize when they find it.  Tell the party guests to find all the asteroids they can and then when they have finished finding all of them tell them to open them up to see if there is a prize inside.  This is also fun to play at night with only the use of flashlights.
