Star Wars Episode III Birthday Party 
Long ago in a galaxy not so far away...your child was born!
Host a galactic birthday party for your Star Wars fan, with these Star Wars party supplies, party games ideas and planning tips.


The key to a successful and fun party, is in the planning. Try to allow yourself 4-6 weeks to prepare. However, if your like most busy moms and that's just not possible, don't worry you can still have a birthday event that's out of this world!
Begin with a Star Wars Deluxe Party Kit Then, use the Star Wars
party guide below created by a real mom of a serious Star Wars fan!

STAR WARS PARTY INVITATIONS
Mail invitations 2-3 weeks before your party. 
For a children's party we recommend inviting two more 
children than the child's age. For example, if the birthday 
child is 8 years old invite no more than 10 children.

Make your own invitations on black card stock paper.
Write with a white gel pen or use your computer to help you.
Format the font/writing to look like the beginning of the movie.
"A LONG TIME AGO IN A GALAXY FAR WAY  
A BOY/GIRL OF DESTINY WAS BORN"
THIS JEDI MASTER WILL CELEBRATE HIS/HER BIRTHDAY
IN A GALAXY NEAR YOU...

TIP: Attach your invitation to a toy light saber (dollar store)
or small Star Wars toy and hand deliver to each child. 
They won't want to miss the fun party ahead!
 

STAR WARS EPISODE III PARTY DECORATIONS
Use the standard party decorations; streamers, balloons etc. in red, blue, black and red.  Add Star Wars posters and toys to enhance your theme.
Hang planets and stars from the ceiling (toy or educational store). 
How to make a Mustafar Volcano table centerpiece:
Wrap three styrofoam cones in (variety of sizes) with brown or dark gray fabric. Attach with craft glue. Cut curved strips of red, and orange felt and attach to the top with glue to make lava. Add red and orange glitter glue intermittently to the lava pieces. Place the volcanoes on a large piece of the brown fabric for the ground and then place action figures at the base.

STAR WARS EPISODE III BIRTHDAY PARTY GAMES AND ACTIVITIES

Who Am I ?
Can you guess which Star Wars character you are?
Before the party write Star Wars Character names on small pieces of paper or mailing labels. At game time each player receives sticker on their back. 
The object of the game is to guess which character you are, by asking questions of the other players. Players can only ask questions that can be answered "yes" or "No"...
"Am I on the Dark Side?"
"Is the Force with Me?" Am I human? Male? Female? Alien? etc.

Clone Wars
Before the party plan some skill games and relay races.
Divide the children into two teams - Droids and Clones.
The teams will compete against each other using the skill games. Award points for every game the teams win. At the end of all of the games the team with the most points wins the war.
Examples for skill games:
Sack races, three legged relays, clothes pin bucket drop, ball and bucket toss, bean bag tosses etc. Hide cards that say Clone and Droid (equal amount of each). Teams have to find all of their cards - first team to find them all wins.

Jedi Training Course
Create a challenging obstacle course in a large area for your Jedi trainees. Use tires, ropes, 2x4 boards, lawn furniture etc.The children will race or go through the course one at a time.

Light Saber Training 
Before the party, make a light saber for each player using foam pipe insulation or skinny swimming "noodles". Wrap 4-6 inches from the end with colored electrical tape to make a handle.

Inflate several balloons. Divide the children into pairs and give each pair an inflated balloon. The object of the game is to keep the balloon off the ground using only the light sabers.
TIP: play the soundtrack from Star Wars while the 
kids are playing this game. 

Who Said It ?
This game is best for older kids. Before the party, write several lines from the Star Wars Movies. Divide the players into teams. When the "Star Wars Master" (mom or dad),reads a line from the movie, the team to correctly say which movie the quote is from wins a point. The most point wins!

Star Wars Episode III Magnets
Find the instructions for this craft on the 
official Star Wars Kids website.
The party goers can make the magnets during the party, 
or it can be made before the party and given as a gift.

STAR WARS PARTY TIP:
Time your party so that before the end it is dark enough 
for the children to play with light sabers out doors.
