Ballet Party
Games and Activities:
Have a ballerina relay. Separate the guests into two teams, and have a pair of
ballet shoes for each team. When it is a girl's turn, she puts on the ballet
shoes and goes to a designated place on the other end of the room, then comes
back. She then gives the shoes to the next girl in line. However, when
proceeding to the designated place, girls must dance about, twirl, spin, leap,
etc.--not just run--in order to get to the place. It's a good idea to play music
so the girls can move to the beat. First team to finish wins.
Make necklaces. Cover workstation with newspaper, and set out bowls of pink and
white beads of assorted shapes and sizes, as well as ballet charms and trinkets.
Offer either string or necklace chains. Let kids string their own, and get
adults to help tie them off.
Purchase a "glamorous" looking pink tutu, as well as a pink feather boa, perhaps
a magic wand, and some other glittery "star" accessories. Have an adult with a
Polaroid camera. Children take turns putting on the accessories and posing to
have their pictures taken.
Dress up relay race. At the end of the yard place a "treasure chest" (ie laundry
basket that is decorated with tulle, etc.). In the treasure chest, put the dress
up clothes including play jewelry, etc. the sillier or fancier the better. Have
the girls form teams. The object of the game is for each girl to race to the end
of the yard, put on whatever is in the box and race back to the team. That girl
takes off the costume and helps the next girl put it on. She then runs back to
the chest, takes it off, runs back to her team and tags the next girl to go.
Whoever finishes first--wins!!!
