Theme related children's crafts and activities for children's birthday parties.

Extreme Sport Relay
Combine all your child’s favorite extreme sports in this crazy relay game! First, collect items from family and friends that represent different extreme sports, for example, a skateboard, surfer shorts, knee and elbow pads, a hockey mask, a winter hat or scarf, etc. Collect two or more of each item, so each team will have the same type of props. At the party, divide your guests into equal teams, giving them the same props so the level of difficulty is equal. Place a chair a short distance away from the starting line for each team.

To begin the game, the first person on each team must put on the surfer shorts, pads, mask, hat and scarf (or whatever items you choose) and travel to the chair, keeping at least one foot on the skateboard. After reaching the chair, the player runs back to the team (carrying the board) and passes the props to the next player. The game continues until everyone has had a turn. The first team to finish, wins!

Musical Beach Towels
This game is for the wave riders at your party! Lay out beach towels (one fewer than players) in a large, open room, or outside if the weather permits. Put on surfer music or your child’s favorite CD, and tell the kids to walk in a circle around the towels. When you stop the music, each player tries to lay down on a towel. The player who doesn’t get one is out. (Let him or her help decide when to turn off the music in the next round.) Remove a towel and start the music again. Continue until there is only one beach bum left!

Live Demo
Invite an “expert” to demonstrate an aspect of your child’s favorite extreme sport at the party. This could be as simple as demonstrating skateboarding tricks or rollerblading moves, showing the kids how to use ice hockey equipment, or letting the kids pretend to surf on a real surfboard. If you’re unable to offer what your child prefers, rent a video instead. Your guests will be impressed, even if it’s not a live demonstration!

Fingerboarding Fun
Since skateboarding may be too difficult for all the youngsters at your party, introduce your guests to fingerboarding - skateboarding with your fingers! It’s a lot of fun, and easy for children to learn. You’ll need a fingerboard for each guest (available at toy stores). To begin, demonstrate an easy trick, like the one below.

The following trick is called “Walk the Dog”:
1. Start with the fingerboard on a flat surface.
2. Place one finger on the front of the board (nose) and one on the back end (tail.) It’s easiest to use your index and middle finger.
3. Pivot the board 180 degrees, switching finger placement; repeat as many times as desired.

Once the children have had a chance to play and practice some moves, let each guest show the rest of the group his or her favorite trick. If you wish, organize a fingerboard “competition” where everyone wins. Pass out awards, prizes or miniature trophies for: most creative/difficult move; biggest wipe-out; best name; fastest move; longest air time, etc.

Extreme Field Trips
Take a field trip to a local ice skating rink, hockey match, skate park or roller derby arena. Contact your local venue before going to see if they have programs or demonstrations for kids or groups. Even if the kids are too young to participate, they’ll enjoy watching!

Tasty Treats And Menu Ideas

Skateboard Sandwiches
Give your guests something to smile about with these scrumptious sandwich snacks. You’ll need white sandwich bread, your child’s favorite fillers, carrot sticks, whole olives, milk and food coloring.

Directions:
1. Make sandwiches as you normally would. Cut each sandwich in half, remove the crusts, and round the edges to look like a skateboard.
2. Mix 2 Tbs. milk with a few drops of food coloring. Use this edible “paint” to draw names or logos on the skateboards.
3. Stick an olive on the end of each carrot stick to make the wheels and axles.
4. Assemble your skateboards, placing a half sandwich on a pair of carrot sticks.

Snowboarder’s Slush
Your guests will feel like they’re riding the mountain with Otto, Reggie, Twister and Sam! Fill paper cones with finely crushed ice. Then, pour flavored syrup over the ice for a simply scrumptious slushie.

Refreshing Fruit Parfait
This refreshing treat is sure to hit the spot! In a parfait cup, layer your child’s favorite flavor yogurt, granola, and fresh fruit (pineapple, blueberries, strawberries and raspberries work well). Top it off with a dollop of whipped topping and serve it with a long-handled spoon!
