Games and Activities (Adult Supervision Required)

Given that this party is for very young children, please keep the following suggestions in mind:

• Please ensure children always use safety scissors.
• Try to avoid the concept of winners and losers.
• Keep it simple. A few of the suggested activities below will be plenty.

While the children wait for everyone to arrive, have a few simple crafts available to make to keep them occupied.

Make a Wiggly Party Hat!

What you will need:

• Cardboard
• Safety scissors
• Glue or staples
• Colored pens or pencils
• Length of fine elastic

Cut out a cone-shaped piece of cardboard and decorate it using colored pens or pencils. Glue or staple the sides of the cardboard together, trim as you like and attach a fine piece of elastic to go under the child´s chin to help keep it on.

Make an Octopus

What you will need:

• 1 Balloon
• Newspaper
• Glue or sticky tape
• Paint or marking pens

Partially inflate a balloon (about three-quarters full). Glue or tape EIGHT strips of newspaper onto the balloon. Paint or use a marking pen to make two eyes and a mouth on the balloon and your octopus is ready!

Set up activity centers based on The Wiggles characters and plan activities at each station.

Let´s Play Wake Up Jeff. (This game can be played with a small number of children.)

 You will need:

• 1 Pillow
• 1 Blanket

Instructions:

1. Choose one child to be “Jeff,” and the other children sit in a circle on the floor.
2. “Jeff” lies down with a pillow and a blanket and closes his/her eyes.
3. All the children call out, “One, two, three!” and the adult points to one child in the circle who says, “Wake up, Jeff!”
4. “Jeff” then “wakes up” and has to guess which child shouted “Wake up, Jeff!” Another child then has a turn at being “Jeff.”

Music with Murray. Have the children make their own maracas using paper plates stapled together with beans inside. Decorate the outside with TheWiggles logo using craft supplies. This is a great take-home goody.

Anthony´s Workshop. Have Play-Doh® available in all four of TheWiggles colors (red, blue, yellow and purple) for the children to play with.

Be a Wiggle. Set up a karaoke machine with a variety of instruments for the children to perform with. Paint a red curtain on poster paper and hang TheWiggles logo in the middle of it. Have the children perform in front of the curtain (which makes a great picture-taking area) either together or as soloists.

Captain´s Beach. Fill a sandbox to the brim with sand and hide tons of gold coins, necklaces, telescopes, and rings that the children must find in a treasure dig. (Please ensure that no items are a choking hazard for the age group of the party.)

Play all of your favorite party games, but put TheWiggles twist on them:

• Play Hot Potato using a brown paper bag stuffed with paper that the children have to pass between each other.
• Play Wiggly Musical Chairs with any of The Wiggles music.
• Play Pin the Rose on Dorothy´s Cap game just like Pin the Tail on the Donkey.

Dorothy´s Garden. Decorate this area with tissue paper flowers and set up picnic blankets or your party table for the children to enjoy their party menu.
