Jumanji Party
Invitations:
Use green construction paper to cut out large
jungle type leaves for the party invitations.
Decorations:
To decorate, cut the seams from large
garbage bags to make them double in length. Hang them with tape, on the walls
of your party room, covering all the walls. Use the same leaves used for invitations, make
from both light & dark green paper, and tape them to the bags along with green
streamers. This will give the room the look of a jungle. You can use big rubber bugs
to put around the room for even more of a jungle look. Use stuffed animals and
plants around the room. For the table, green cups, plates, and table cloth.
Jungle music playing in the background during the party works great!
Cake:
Decorate a sheet cake to look like the box
from the Jumanji board game. Use crape paper vines and moreleaves on the table along
with more rubber bugs for effect.
Goodie Bags:
Favors in the goodie bags included: Gummy
Bugs, Small Magnifying Glass, Jungle Stickers, Rubber Lizards, Pencils with a Jungle
theme, Little Toy Jungle Animals.
Games and Activities:
Watched the movie Jumanji, with popcorn &
soda served.
Play the board game Jumanji.
Have a treasure hunt - make a map to their goodie bags, then cut the map in four pieces. Each piece of the map should be hid somewhere in or outside of the house. Make little rhyming clues to find each piece of the map (such as "this is the largest ring around, you use it to shoot and rebound"). When the map pieces are found, the children put them together and followed the map to their goodie bags. Use a large box and decorated it like a treasure chest to put them in.
Jumanji game, obstacle course: Make all the kids their own "big dice" out of milk cartons (these can also be favors). Make an obstacle course with obstacles related to the movie.Go on a
safari hunt: Use hidden stuffed animals that the kids can find OR buy a super large bag of the plastic kind. Hide them all over and let the kids keep what they find. Have an adult or another child to surprise everyone as "Van Pelt" and come hunting them (as in tag). To represent the stampede you can get a huge roll of white/butcher paper. Enlarge elephants, rhinos, zebras with the help of an overhead projector and trace then color them. Find a local 'animal trainer' to bring in exotic animals to show the children.
