This week we shared (Part ONE<\/a>) The Dessert Table and Candy Bar and (Part TWO<\/a>) The Favors and Decor from Jeffrey’s Modern Lego Inspired Birthday Party.<\/p>\n

I am excited to share\u00a0Part THREE<\/strong> of Jeffrey’s Modern Lego Inspired<\/a> Birthday Party –\u00a0The Games and Activities!<\/strong><\/p>\n

The top priority at the Lego Party was to have fun and unique activities for the kids. \u00a0It would be expected <\/em>to have a bunch of Legos for the kids to build with, but I had to think of something new, fresh and unexpected!<\/em><\/p>\n

Game 1: Lego Race:<\/strong>
\nThe kids had a BLAST with this game.
\nI found the clear tubing (as shown on the Lego garland on the dessert table) at Lowe’s Home Improvement and thought it would be the PERFECT vessel for a Lego race.<\/p>\n

Each kid teamed up with their buddy and they got a cup of small Legos. \u00a0The goal was to get their cup of Legos to their partner as fast as possible through the clear tubing. \u00a0Then their partner had to catch the Legos in their cup and send them back through the tube to their partner. \u00a0The team to do this the fastest won! \u00a0(The prize – a little green envelope embellished with \u201cwinner\u201d printable logo and enclosed with a dollar! (At this age, our kids LOVE getting dollar bills). \u00a0We did 3 rounds of 3 teams. \u00a0It was perfect!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The kids LOVED this game!<\/p>\n

Game 2: Lego Memory Game:<\/strong>
\nJeffrey is a master at the \u201cMemory\/Matching game\u201d, so I decided to create a \u201cLego Memoriy Game\u201d for the children to play at the party. \u00a0I found these perfectly \u201clego board green\u201d tins on clearance at Micheals and wiped them out \ud83d\ude09 \u00a0On our table, I put down a large piece of green wrapping paper ($1 at Target after Christmas clearance) and then evenly spread the green tins to create the \u201cmatching game board\u201d. \u00a0It looked like the classic green lego baseplate\/building board, which made for really cool decor.<\/p>\n

Under each \u201cpeg\u201d\/tin we stuck a printable party logo<\/a> from our \u201cprintable memory game\u201d set. \u00a04 kids played at a time. \u00a0Each child would pick 2 \u201cpegs\u201d and see if the lego stickers matched. \u00a0If so, they took the pegs, and if not, it was the next child\u2019s turn. \u00a0The player with the most pegs won! \u00a0The kids loved this game and got really competitive with eachother (and used their minds, too!)<\/p>\n

Doesn’t it look like a giant Lego base-plate \/ board?!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The winners received a “Winner” envelope with cash money inside \ud83d\ude09 (They were already getting Legos and other goodies, so there wasn’t anything left but dollar bills!\u00a0 $1 for each winner. Big time money.)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Game 3: Pin the 6 on the Lego Man:<\/strong>
\nI love to include classic party games that remind me of my childhood parties. \u00a0Pin the tail on the donkey – nope. Pin the \u201c6\u201d on the Lego Style Man, yes!<\/a>
\nEach child got a sticker that had a 6 and their name on it. \u00a0They were blindfolded and had to try and get their 6 on the \u201c6\u201d on the Lego man\u2019s chest. \u00a0An oldie but a goodie.\u00a0 (Available in the shop<\/a>!)
\n(I think the kids all cheated because they almost all got it right!)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The kids really enjoyed playing this game!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Activity 1: Build Your Own Magnet:<\/strong>
\nIn each child\u2019s Lego Tote, they received a cello bag packaged with all of the items needed to build a Lego Magnet.\u00a0 We packaged it up all cute with a printable party favor tag.<\/p>\n

I had gotten a few cups of Legos at my local Lego Store (You can fill your own cup with any Legos you want from their Lego wall). \u00a0I made sure to get equal amounts of each of the styles of Legos and also included the mini green \u201cbaseplates\/boards\u201d. \u00a0I glued magnet strips to the backsides of the mini Lego base-plates and the kids could build anything they wanted on these bases and use them on their fridge when they got home!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This kept the kids busy for awhile!\u00a0 They all loved creating fun magnets and showing them off to their friends.<\/p>\n

Activity 2: Giant Lego Scene Coloring wall;<\/strong>
\nWe created a printable graphic scene for the wall <\/a>– a 120\u201d by 36\u201d tall poster that we had printed at a local printer (blue print paper) and attached to the wall. \u00a0The kids could color on the bricks or little Lego man inspired figures with the lego man shaped crayons.<\/p>\n

Coloring wall fun with my homemade Lego Minifigure crayons…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Activity 3: Lego Table<\/strong>
\nJeffrey has a Lego Table in his room so we brought that down for the party. I found the cutest step stools for $10 each at TJ Maxx – and it all fell into place because the tops of the stools had the same modern dot pattern as our printable collection and were black and red and white! \u00a0They were the perfect height for the kids to sit at around the table which had a huge bowl of legos for building any creation that they dreamed up. \u00a0This was a great \u201cfiller activity\u201d table for the younger kids who lost interest in my \u201cplanned games\u201d.<\/p>\n

Some of Jeffrey’s sweet friends…<\/p>\n

Activity 4: Lego Photobooth<\/strong>
\nSign Guy printed our pattern onto a backdrop and we used it as a photobooth for the kids to show off their awesome shirts (from Made by Morgan<\/a>) and Lego creations.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Fashion:<\/strong>
\nEach child received an adorable Lego Minifigure inspired screenprinted shirt (from Made by Morgan<\/a>). \u00a0Morgan even made girlie versions where the minifigure had a hair bow! \u00a0They also got a printable sticker name tag at their place setting and we placed it on their backs. \u00a0The kids wore these at the party.<\/p>\n

Jeffrey and his brother, Pierson, and I got to wear awesome Lego bracelets that are from Reware Style. \u00a0\u00a0These are the most precious bracelets and the kids all loved them! \u00a0I have actually been wearing mine lately and love it.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Wow. What a blast this was!\u00a0 I will always remember Jeffrey’s 6th Birthday Party!\u00a0 I hope he will, too!<\/p>\n

I hope these posts have given you ideas and inspiration for your own children’s parties!<\/p>\n
