Game Ideas For a 'Messy' Party

RE: Game Ideas For a 'Messy' Party Post By Teryn (Guest Post) (08/26/2008) I once did a flour fight where I gave each person at my party one bag of flour, it was very messy but easy to clean up. Everyone wore swimming goggles, sunglasses, or skiing goggles so they wouldn't get it in there eyes. It was tons of fun!

You can also finger paint(or even body paint) with pudding or whipped cream colored with food coloring.Use disposable foil pizza pans for the finger painting, as for the body painting, just have everyone wear their bathing suits!

He and all the guests (all boys) were 8-10 years old, split into two teams. I set it up on the lawn, had a zone in the middle they could not go in but rather throw across, with tables of ammunition behind them. A couple of parents of guests wanted the kids to wear a trash bag over their clothes and all had safety glasses. I bought foods that were colorful and trashy, not hardly foods at all, like green ketchup and Lucky Charms cereal (generic big-bag) Jello cubes, marshmallows and corn syrup. I had buckets of rinse water ready at good temperature on this nice hot day for a pre-rinse after the throwing, then they ran around to my back door and straight into the bathroom to shower (plastic paint tarp laid down in hall) with clothes going straight into a bag, then new clothes laid out to put on. The best part of course was the picture of everyone with their food-paint all over, hands in the air, big grins. It was inexpensive and fun, but one mother felt guilty about the waste of food, but I explained that it was a lesson in nutrition, with better foods indoors for afterward. My lawn was none the worse after a deep watering. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Game Ideas For a 'Messy' Party Post by shardebhow (3) | (03/19/2008) Contact Pie eating contests. Make sure the contestants hands are behind their backs and the pies are on a table. People then bend down and need to just put their face in the pie and eat.

Another is a craft I call "Shaving Cream Marbeling Printing" (go to HGTV, the Carol Duvall show & search "shaving Cream"). You put shaving cream into a large, square, flat baking pan then squirt in paint globs of colors that blend well together on top of the shaving cream. Then you slightly stir this around. Then you take a piece of paper & lay this on top. then carefully lift the paper straight off. This will print a colorful design. You can keep doing it till the shaving cream is all gone. Use Tempera paints because they wash off. Acrylics won't (after they dry). If you REALLY want to make a mess the directions say to use Printer Re-inker. BAD idea with kids! Youse Tempera or water color paint! Another idea: Tye-Dye: Have each child pring an old T-shirt. How about a game where you make Jello cubes & the kids try to chatch them in their mouths. One kid throws & one catches, then they change places. A prize for team with the most caught in mouth? (an extra pack of plain gelitin can be added to thicken the jello) SHAVING CREAM PRINTING: http://www.princetonol.com/groups/iad/lessons/middle/marbling.htm Report Spam or Abuse
