Fairy Games and Activities:
The Party Begins: Upon arrival, take each guest to the Fairy Dell where there will be a set of fairy wings and magic wand for each guest (from your local dollar store). Have a variety of colours available for guests to choose their favourite colour. Also have a list of fairy names available so that guests can choose their own fairy name, write this on a sticky label for guests to wear at the party. Or use the Fairy Name Generator.
Flower Pot Ring Toss Game: Glue silk flowers to wooden dowels and stick in flower pots filled with green foam or moss. Or, attach craft foam flowers to sturdy plastic straws (the loopy crazy straws in bright primary colours look best) and add to flower pots. Cover hoops with small silk flowers to make fairy rings. Kids must toss a fairy ring over a flower pot to claim a prize.
Fairy Frolic Game: Play Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake and other classical music selections while your fairies dance and flit about as fairies do! When the music is stopped by an adult, any fairies left fluttering are out of the game. Let the music and dancing continue until there is only one child left - the Fairy King or Queen!
Finding Fairy Gold Game: Scatter pastel colored chocolate kisses or pennies around the party area. Make some harder to find than others. Tell party guests that the fairies have hidden some fairy treats for them to discover. Kids get to keep what they find in this fun fairy party game.
Fairy, Fairy, Troll Game: Played like Duck Duck Goose with players tapping each person on the head with their fairy wands and flying to their spots.
Pixie Pass the Parcel: Wrap candies in layers of paper to make a parcel - also add in some glitter confetti for fairy dust. Guests sit in a circle and pass the parcel while an adult leader plays music. When the music stops, the player holding the parcel get to open a layer. He or she keeps the candy within.
Musical Mushrooms Game: Cut large mushroom shapes from tan or brown construction paper. Add red spots for colour. Provide one fewer mushrooms than the number of guests at your party. Start the music and have the children walk in a circle around the mushrooms, until you stop the music. When the music stops everyone tries to sit on a vacant mushroom. The player who doesn't find an open mushroom is out. One mushroom is taken away and the game continues until only one person (The Fairy King or Queen) is left.
Fairy Freeze Tag Game: Before you start the game, make sure the children know what the boundaries are (i.e. your garden or one room in your house). Then, select someone to be "Captain Hook" (preferably the birthday boy or girl). Everyone else will be "fairies." Once the game begins, Captain Hook's goal is to "freeze" all of the fairies by tagging them. Once they have been tagged, the children must stand still with their legs shoulder-width apart until either another fairy crawls between their legs or everyone has been frozen by Hook. If an untagged child crawls between the legs of another frozen child, that player is unfrozen and can rejoin the game. Play continues until Hook has frozen all of the fairies. The last person to be frozen will be Hook during the next round.
Note: you can change the players' character names to correspond with your child's favorite fairytale. For example, Hook could be "The Evil Stepmother" or "The Wicked Queen," and the fairies could be "dwarves," or "Princesses."
Decorations:
Gather up a large pile of leaves and then spray them with some pink glitter and sprinkle them around the floor.
Use some garden gnomes and fairy ornaments as extra guests! Use some string to hang up small fairies and pink star cut outs.
Hang up pink fairy lights and place rose petals on the tables. |
