THAT'S SO RAVEN BIRTHDAY PARTY GAMES
Race to Disguise
With this game, your party guests will get a chance to develop their own Raven styled disguise skills!
Materials:
Directions: Evenly divide the disguise items and place theme in the baskets. Mark a start and finish line on the floor with tape for each team. Divide the kids into two or three teams. Place each team's basket of clothing at each finish line. When you say "GO", the first player from each team runs to the basket, dresses in a disguise, takes off the disguise and runs back to their team. Then, the next player runs, until all teammates have had a turn. Be sure to explain any guidelines (for example: a disguise does not count if it's just a hat; each player has to assemble a full disguise). You can come up with variations on this game; try having teammates holler to the player what she should put on next , or try having all the players work together to disguise themselves within a designated period of time. Don't forget the camera!
Wrong Order Game
Directions:Fill a tray with several items, like plates, fork, glass, ketchup, etc. Have the players close their eyes. Then, remove one item from the tray. Have the players open their eyes. Can the players guess what's missing?
Orders Please!
Play a game or two using plastic food and a tray:
Option 1:
Divide the guests into 2 teams. Set up a racing area, and have the kids relay race. Each will run while olding the tray. They must kep all items on the try. If any items fall, that player must start over. Each player will hand the tray to the next who will take it and race ith it.
Option 2:
Place plastic food, plates, and silver on the floor and furniture all around the room. Designate the first player to be the "waitress". The "waitress" holds the tray while the other players shout out what items to pick up. The "waitress" has to pick up the items and place them on the tray without dropping them. The faster the girls go, the more giggles there will be!
Singin' Out!
The girl's will get a chance to sing and dance just like Raven! Rent or purchase a Karaoke machine and use the That's So Raven Karaoke CD. Be sure you check the equipment before the party.
Tip: The girls can all sing along together without a microphone, or they can take turns while the other girls are dancers
and back-up singers.
