Good Luck and happy reading...
"Paper Airplane Contest" Have each child make a paper airplane.
Depending on the age of the children, you can either have them
create their own, follow a pattern or make them ahead of time.
Have various contests, such as, longest flight, highest flight,
furthest from a target, best crash, most flips, largest flip,
etc. Provide enough categories to allow each child to win a
prize.
"Pin the Pilot on the Plane" Draw or copy a picture of a plane
on a large piece of paper. Draw an outline where the pilot
should be sitting. Make a different pilot for each child and
either put a number or name on the pilot to identify the child.
You can also cut out a picture of your child and paste him on
the pilot’s head. Using double face tape, blindfold one guest at
a time, spin them around and have them try to place the pilot in
the correct location. The child closest is the winner.
"Airplane Search" Fill a large container (swimming pool,
sandbox, large bowl, etc work best) with packing peanuts. Put
enough die cast airplanes in the container so each child finds
one. One at a time, have the children find an airplane. You can
time them and see who finds the airplane the fastest. This
airplane can go home with them in their goody bag.
"Jet Race" To play this wonderful game, mark a target on the
ground a short distance away or make a finish line on the floor
with tape. Make a starting line and blow up a balloon for each
child. For added effects, place airplane stickers on the
balloons. To begin, count down from three. When you say go, each
child tries to land his or her “jet” inside the target, or cross
the finish line, by tossing or hitting it.
"Musical Planes" Here is one of the children’s favorite games.
To setup, you need enough airplane cutouts for every child minus
one. Check out our Airplane pictures and clipart for some ideas.
Place them in a circle so the children have enough room to walk
around them. Place the children on the outside of the airplanes
and make sure they aren’t stepping on them yet. When the music
starts, the children will walk around the airplanes. As soon as
the music stops, the children have to sit on one of the
airplanes. Whoever isn’t sitting on an airplane is out. Remove
one airplane and continue the game until one child remains.
"Obstacle Course" This game is best played outside in a large
open area. Create a runway using masking tape, chalk, cones, etc
to mark the boundaries. It should be around 50 feet long and 10
feet wide to allow enough room for the children to maneuver
their planes. Get some non-breakable items, such as, bouncy
balls, sports balls, tin cans, clothing, toys, blankets, etc.
These items are going to represent other planes on the runway.
Next, pair up the children. One child will need to be the pilot
and the other will be the air traffic controller. The air
traffic controller’s job is to guide the pilot (blindfolded)
down the runway without running into any other plane
(non-breakable items).
How to play: the first pilot stands at the end of the runway
with their arms stretched out like a plane. The air traffic
controller can stand anywhere along the runway, but the best
position is behind the pilot. This will eliminate any confusion
when they are using the commands left and right.
Once the pilot is blindfolded, all the other children can throw
more objects on the runway to make the challenge even more
difficult. After the children have added the extra planes, the
controller guides the pilot down the runway using commands like,
“Take two steps forward”, “One step left”, “Two large steps to
the left”.
If the child crashed, the next team will get to take a turn.
Award the team who made it the farthest on the runway, without
crashing, a prize.
"Sleep/Stand!" This is a great modified game of the old time
favorite, Simon Says. Have the children line up and face you, or
whoever the caller is. There are only two sayings the children
have to listen for: I say sleep or I say stand. When you say, “I
say sleep” the children must lie down and pretend to sleep or
when you say, “I say stand” the children must stand up. If you
say a command without, “I say” and the children do it, then they
are out. As the game progresses, say the commands faster. The
children will be going up and down so fast they won’t even hear
the “I say” part. It’s a great game and packed full of laughs!
"Where’s the Cake?" Children always love to go on a mission to
find “something” and this game will definitely be a treat for
them. This game is going to require help from friends and be
under a lot of adult supervision. Separate the children into two
teams and give each team a set of clues and party favors to
find. Give each child a bag to put the favors in and make sure
that each guest has at least one favor. The clues and favors
should lead the children to the cake. Whichever team finds the
cake first gets to be served first!
"Airport Field Trip" How cool would this activity be? Do you
live near a small municipal airport? A lot of them will allow
you to bring down a group of children for a tour of the
facility. Give them a call and see if you can plan one during
some airplane take-offs and landings. The kids will love this
experience and they will talk about for months!
"Storytime/Videotime" Do you need an activity towards the end of
the party which might “calm” the children down? Well, how about
a great airplane story or movie? Jay Jay and Friends have a lot
of books and movies out and children just love them. Get one and
plan it towards the end of the party. This will also give you a
chance to do a little cleanup before the parents arrive to pick
up their children.
