Star Wars Jedi Training Camp
Birthday Party Ideas!!! My son and my husband are big
Star Wars fans. For my son's 6th birthday party we
decided to throw him a party Star Wars style. Here are a
few of our ideas. September/October 08 |

The Decorations:
Ebay had some
great things. I got very lucky and won an auction for 22
large Many a times
when cleaning I have been tempted to throw away my
husbands old posters. When cleaning I love using
party themed table cloths as decor. This year we used
them in our garage to brighten the place Luckily Clone
Wars came out in August and McDonalds had Star Wars Toys
in their Happy Meals. Many of my friends
Above are some outside decor. These were also self made.
Above is the Pinata I used. I gave each chiild a Star
Wars treat bag to fill from the treats in the Pinata. I
wrote their name on the back of the baggie. This way they
could easily claim their More Star Wars Decor |
The Food & Cake
There are
tons of cool cake pictures online. I did not want to put
that much energy into the cake, so I printed out a
graphic and gave it to my My mom makes cookies every year and below are the Star cookies she made for the party. I ran out of
time, but I wanted to make lightsaber pretzel sticks with
colored chocolate. Dip one end in the melted colored
chocolate and let cool. Some Star Wars Food Ideas I saw online: |
Set the
scene: When the kids walked in the door they were greeted
by my son who helped them put on their Jedi Robe and Jedi
nametag. My mom was kind enough to make the robes seen below... but here is a tutorial from another site.
(Since we had 20 kids at the party and it rained... I put dots on the cards so we could easily split the kids into two groups for games.) My husband
loves Star Wars, so he was very much into the planning of
this party. He created a Jedi Training Video complete
with non-violent The Craft & Coloring:
When the kids
first got to the party, they were directed to go to the
garage and complete a craft. I had purchased stars at
Oriental Trading that were covered The Favors: Like I said
above, McDonalds Happy Meals were based on the Clone Wars
Movie at the time of the party. I asked
Scavenger
Hunt Card - above is the picture card each child was
given. They had to find one of each item on the card and
put it in their box. I collected the boxes after the hunt and put two more surprises inside (a cd and coloring book) The kids also got to take home their robes and pool noodle lifesabers.
I do a CD
every year as a favor at the party. Luckily I have a CD
burner that burNs four CD's at once... so time wise, it
is pretty quick. Plus it is a nice keepsake for us. I
think the guests enjoy I had planned on doing a pinata, but due to time and rain we did not do a pinata. The plan was to give each guest a baggie with their name on it to collect the pinata candy in. the bad would have then been placed in their favor box to go home with them. (PITURE LIGHT SABER) |
The Games/Trials: As stated above, each
Jedi was given a card. I had written
out two plans. One plan was if it did not rain and we
could use the yard for the party CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD MY SCRIPTS IN WORD FOR THE PARTY Trial 1:
