If your kids are dreading the end of
fun-filled summer days, a party might be
just what they need to get excited about
going back to school. This works for kids
of all ages, and can be modified according
to age.
Guest List: For kids entering a new
school, this is a great opportunity to
invite kids who will be in their class they
they may not know very well. Contact your
child's school to see if you can obtain a
class list.
Decorations: Make a banner that says,
"Welcome Back to School" or "School Days".
Apples are another idea for a theme. For
older children, you can use the school
mascot in your theme.
Food: A cake with black frosting and
white writing can be made to look like a
blackboard... Write the words "Back to
School" on the cake.
Activities: Have each guest bring
photos from their summer vacations or other
summer activities. The kids can share
stories about what they did during their
break. Have contests for "grew the most",
"darkest suntan", or "who traveled farthest
on their vacation".
Prizes/Favors: School supplies such
as pencils, crayons, notebooks, etc. You
can gear the prizes toward the required
supply list for your child's grade level. |
