I found this idea online somewhere, but can't find it again now. But here's my version: I made this poster the week we were reviewing Baptism that said "Sing or Dare." The "Sing" cards had a fun way to sing a certain verse of the song we were reviewing. The "Dare" cards had a question or just something silly for the child to do. We ended up singing each verse of the song twice, with lots of fun mixed in! Here's what the cards said: For Junior Primary Dare: Stand on your chair and shout "I love primary!" Name your favorite thing about Primary** Name 2 latter day prophets Switch seats with someone else Give your teacher a hug Give the primary presidency a high five Sing: Clap the rhythm while you sing the 3rd verse of Baptism March in place while you sing the 1st verse of Baptism Play Stop/Go while you sing the 3rd verse of Baptism Stand on one foot and sing the 1st verse of Baptism Tiptoe in a circle while you sing the 2nd verse of Baptism Whisper sing the 2nd verse of Baptism For Senior Primary Dare: Tell the names of everyone in your class Stand on your chair and shout "I love Primary!" Give everyone a high-five Name 3 latter day prophets Hop on one foot around the podium 3 times Draw a picture of your favorite food Sing: Stand on 1 foot while you sing the 3rd verse. If the other foot touches the ground, sit down. Rub your belly and pat your head while you sing the 2nd verse. Play stop/go while you sing the 1st verse. Leave out the names of people and places in the 1st verse. Girls face left, boys face right as you sing the 3rd verse. "Buzz" instead of singing the word "the" **On a side note, the 4-year-old little boy who got this dare, name your favorite thing about primary, thought about it long and hard and then said..."leaving!" We all got a chuckle out of that!
Seven. How did *that* happen? My "baby" is seven. *sigh* Ok, thoughts of baby blankets, soft fuzzy baby hair, tiny baby clothes aside, it's time for my boy to grow up (if he insists. Which he does.). And this "big" boy is into what most "big" boys (and lots of actual big boys) are into... Star Wars! So today we'll celebrate in a galaxy far, far away welcome, padawan I was inspired by Jennifer S on Catch My Party to make these. Who wouldn't love to get their very own lightsaber in the mail? I love how the party info is printed right on the back. I made mine simpler in front, as I had a LOT to make. Want to make your own? eat, you must For lunch we enjoyed hot dogs from the "Hutt Dog" station. Snacks included Wookie Cookies, Carbonite Jell-O and more. The Hutt Dog station! Not only were our guests given lots of toppings to choose from, we also gave some Star Wars themed ideas on how to prepare their dogs. Feel free to print the Clone Dogs, "Solo" Dog, "Chilly" Dog and Swamp Dog signs for yourself! My signs are displayed in Ikea frames. The water bottles are covered with glitter paper (it's from a roll of wrapping paper I got at Michaels). Then I got printable Storm Trooper labels from Clean & Scentsible for them. The Padawan Popcorn boxes can also be printed here. It's a great versitle little favor box! You can print it on any color paper to match your party. If you own a personal cutter like the Cricut, here's an SVG file of the box. My large "Hutt Dogs" sign was cut with my Cricut but the small food signs can be printed here. We enjoyed some Bow-Ba Fett Pasta (Ree Drummond's Kid-Friendly Pasta Salad made with bow-tie pasta). The pasta is in cups purchased from TomKat Studios. I chose them because they're lined with plastic so the dressing wouldn't leak through. We also had Princess Lays (potato chips) and more hot dog toppings. Stephen's cake and cupcakes were inspired by Takes the Cake. The letters, stars and lightsabers were made from fondant. The silver was all touched up with silver Pearl Dust to give them some sparkle. The Vader-Ade is simply red Gatorade. The Yoda Soda is green Hawaiian Punch and 7up with some green sherbert on top. I made ice cubes from both the Gatorade and Hawaiian Punch to keep the drinks cold without watering them down. Those fantastic C3PO Oreos pops were inspired by Kitchen Fun with My 3 Sons. They were a big hit! The Cloud City Pops are simply marshmallows on lollipop sticks, dipped in a milk/confections sugar mixture then into blue Pearl Nonpareils. The sticks are actually paper straws purchase, again, from TomKat Studio. Carbonite Jell-O. How awesome is that? I've seen it in a few places online but I'm going to give the credit to the first person I saw use it. Carli from Dimple Prints. Just fabulous! She also inspired the Death Star Krispies we'll see next... ....made with Cocoa Krispies, these things were SO yummy! I tried to add a little "sparkle" to them with edible glitter, but it just doesn't really show up. The jarred snacks up top include, Hans Rollos, Ewok Snacks (Teddy Grahams), Thermal Detonators (Whoppers) and Lightsabers (Pixy Stix). Ah, the Wookie Cookies. How can you not love that face? The brilliant mind that brought up C3PO Oreos, also brought us these fantstic cookies! Thanks Jill over at Kitchen Fun with My 3 Son! The Obi-Wan Kabob-ies were inspired by these from Sweet Cakes Crafts. The Tie Fighters were inspired by Clean & Scentsible (who also brought us the free Storm Trooper water bottle printables!). They're made from Oreo Crisps (the 100 calorie packs) and mini marshmallows. Another huge hit! padawan entertainment Even Padawan need some down-time! Ours had lots of fun activities to choose from. Make Your Own Lightsaber: Papertowel tubes, foam stickers, markers and balloon-animal style balloons made up this station. It was the BIGGEST hit! After decorating their papertowel tube, a grown-up slid a deflated balloon in and blew it up. Instant lightsaber! I got this idea from Jennifer S over at Catch My Party. (You'll remember, she also inspired my invitation.) Stellar Play Dough: Homemade play dough, with some added glitter (for that stellar effect), rollers and cutters made up this crafty station. This fantastic idea came from Tradewind Tiara (as do a few addition ideas you'll see coming up!). I used these jars for the play dough. And a word of advice on making the play dough, don't add the glitter too far in advance. I made the play dough about 2 weeks before the party and the glitter all dissolved! We tossed more in just before the festivities. Make Your Own R2 Unit: Cut almost entirely with my Cricut, we had blank R2 units with an assortment of cardstock shapes to add. I made one for display to help as inspiration. Feel free to download the PNG or SVG of the R2 unit for yourself! Thanks to Sweet Craft Cakes for this great idea! They're also to thank for our "Clone Army" idea below. The young Jedi Apprentice practiced their blaster training (aka: Nerf guns) on these poor, unexpecting "Clones". That'll teach them for crashing our party! what's a jedi apprentice to wear? Our dress-up station had it all! Character masks, Leia headbands and, (of course!) Jedi robes. Those absolutely fantastic masks were made by etsy seller BessiePooh. You can see all of her wonderful creations here. The Leia headbands were inspired by Tradewind Tiara (see, I told you you'd see them mentioned again!) She gives great step-by-step instructions on how to make them. The glue gun burns these babies gave me were totally worth it! Lastly, the Jedi robes. I made mine from "chocolate" broadcloth. I cut strips measuring about 16" wide by 48" long (adjust your length based on the size of your attendees). Then I cut a hole in the center for the kids heads. I then cut 44" strips of tan broadcloth for the belts. The ream was 44" wide, which is why I chose that number. *wink* Cute, aren't they? become a jedi, you will Having attended training himself this past summer, Stephen, now a Jedi, wanted to train his Padawan in the Jedi arts. (How cool is this photo!? Hubby took it with his new iPhone 5.) You never know when the dark side will try to tempt you, best be prepared. *wink* He stood before his friends, now dressed in their Jedi robes and armed with... you guessed it, lightsabers! These foam lightsabers can be found all over the internet at just about every Star Wars party out there. Their origin, impossible to find. Made from foam pool noodles, cut in half, mine are wrapped with 3 rows of silver duct tape and topped off with strips of black electrical tape. The original creator of these things: a genius. 7 year old boys LOVE to beat on each other. And believe you me, they did just that! Some double-fisted. Best idea ever. After their training, each new Jedi received a "graduate" badge. I put them into vertical badge holders hung from lanyards. The kids loved that they were each personalized. Here's a blank one for you to work with. All that practice (and Jedi training) paid off, because we *were* visited by Mr. Dark Side himself, Darth Vader! After a demonstration from Stephen, each new Jedi "battled" Darth Vader. He was a gracious loser, as he posed for this fantastic photo with them all afterwards. smile and say "chewy" What's a party without a photo booth? And who wouldn't want their photo with the infamous Darth Vader!?! (maybe a newly minted 7 year old, unaware that it's just his Papa in costume, that's who) Set against a black paper backdrop, covered with silver stars, party-goers had a board full of favorite quotes from the movie, along with their favorite masks to pose with. Happy birthday, big guy. <3

Last year the cup stack was one of my FAVORITE team building activities (see post here). So, naturally, I wanted to give it another shot! The Cup Stack is a fun, yet challenging activity that promotes team work. The supplies are basic: cups, string, rubber bands. I go ahead and tie the string to the rubber bands so it is ready to go. I make a few for groups of 4 and a few for groups of 5, this way no matter what the numbers are in the classroom I can make it work. I start by asking students what teamwork is. What does it look like? sound like? feel like? We brainstorm a list of ideas that I hang in the classroom for students to refer to. Each class comes up with a variety of ideas, but they all center around the same theme. Then I introduce their challenge. I start off my admitting that this will be a frustrating activity. We discuss ways to handle our stress and feelings that arise when others make a mistake or don't do what we want them to do. I model that they will each be given 6 cups and a rubberband with strings attached to it. Their job is to stack the cups into a design by only holding onto their individual string. I demonstrate that when everyone pulls on their string the rubberband opens wider, and vice versa. I also show them the challenges of picking up a cup that has tipped on its side or fallen on the floor. No matter what happens, they must follow the one rule: YOU CAN ONLY TOUCH YOUR STRING. No touching the rubber band, no touching the cup, and no touching other group member's strings. I reinforce how communication is so important in order to reach the goal. Then I set them off. Here are some videos and pics. After about 10-15 minutes, we pause and reflect on our experiences. I ask them to rate their group on how well they worked together using the ideas we wrote at the beginning of the lesson. I ask them what went well for their group. I also ask them what didn't go well for their group. We talk about different strategies and ways we an handle ourselves when things don't go the way we want them to. Throughout the activity I walk around and facilitate positive communication, so I usually have a few examples to help springboard the discussion.
