Birthday Party Ideas
Being able to have a horse that kids can ride at your child’s party is always a hit, but even if you are
not able to get a horse, you can still have a fun “Horse” or “Wild West” party!
Making
your own invitations?
For
a Wild West party make wanted posters with a picture of the birthday boy or girl
WANTED:
Friends
of ____ the Kid
Wanted
for cake games & lots of fun
(When,
Where, & RSVP info) Or come up with a cute little phrase such as “Gallop on Over”
or “Calling all Buckaroos” and use rubber stamps or clip art that is available on the internet.
Game ideas:
Well,
there’s the obvious: Pin the Tail on the Horse OR Pin the Badge on the
Sheriff
Or
try some of these:
Lasso
~ Using a rope, create a lasso. Use a rocking horse, make a stick horse or one
out of scrap wood, or a large stuffed animal. Have the kids take turns. Have a special prize just in case you have a child
get it on their first attempt.
Practice
Jumps ~ Using books, paper bags, blankets or towels create a river to jump over. Find
out what “horse” can jump the farthest. Every time the horses make
it over the river, make the river a little wider.
Oat
Eating Contest ~ Put one–two cups of “horse feed” (cheerios) in brown lunch bags. Roll the sides of the bags down. Who will finish first? (No using your hands!)
Apple
Eating Contest ~ Eat apples from a tree like the horses do! Using string, hang apples in a tree. Prize for the first to get
a bite out of the apple.
Lost Horses
~ Buy a bag or two of small horses. Hide them throughout the yard and see who
can find the most.
Party Favors & Gift Bag Ideas:
Bandanas,
cowboy hats, squirt gun, sheriff badges, tattoos
