Party Decorations

Western Party Games
Cowboy Hat Toss 
Tie a bandana  around a golf ball or other small ball and have party guests try and toss the bandana into the cowboy hat.   Instead of one hat you could line up five hats in a row and have the kids try and get the bandana into the hats one at a time starting with the hat closest to the starting line. 

Relay Races Western Style
Make up several relay races and let the children run them with their mop horses. Or buy two stick horses and let the kids trade off with each other.

Western Dress up relay - Gather two sets of western themed clothes including overalls, cowboy boots, cowboy hat, sunglasses, flannel shirt, etc. and place them in two separate piles a good distance from where the teams will start.  Divide western party guests in teams.  The teams first person runs across to the pile of their teams western clothes, put everything on, run back to tag their team - then back again to the pile and take off the items.  They then run and tag the next team member in line and that person continues the relay until everyone takes a turn.  Horseshoes
