LADYBUG PARTY THEMES - GAME IDEAS & ACTIVITIES

Here's a few ideas for games and activities that would be perfect for your ladybug party themes.

PIN THE LADYBUG ON THE FLOWER - This game is played like Pin The Tail On The Donkey except you put a large poster of a flower on the wall and give each of the kids a ladybug to pin onto the flower. Place a ladybug sticker on the flower to designate the location that the kids are trying to "pin" their ladybugs upon. Use double-stick tape on the ladybugs. You can make them out of construction paper.

VARIATION: Pin the spot on the ladybug. Hang a large poster of a ladybug and have the kids try to pin the spots on the bug. Make the spots out of black construction paper.

HOT LADYBUG - This game is played like Hot Potato except you use a beanbag ladybug. Have all the kids sit in a circle and have the birthday child start with the ladybug. Turn the music on and have the kids pass the ladybug to the child sitting to their right. Play continues until the music stops and whichever child is left holding the ladybug shall be out. Repeat until only one child remains and he/she is the winner.

LADYBUG GAME - MUSICAL LADYBUGS - Instead of using chairs create large green leaves and place them on the floor in a circle. You can make the leaves from felt or various green floral-colored fabrics. All of your little "ladybugs" will fly around the leaves while the music plays. When it stops, everyone tries to get onto one leaf. Whoever fails to do so is eliminated. Game continues until only 1 ladybug remains, who is the winner.

LADYBUG RELAY RACE - Divide the kids into teams and line them up. Give the first child of each team 2 large black ladybug spots, which are made from black poster board. They start by standing on both spots. When you say, "Go!" they lift 1 foot and move 1 spot forward and step on it. Then they lift their back foot and pick-up the spot, move it forward, and step on it. They repeat this process until they arrive at the finish line and they pick-up their spots, and run back to their next teammate, give the next person in line the spots who then repeats the process. Whichever team gets through all of their teammates first wins.

LADYBUG GAME - LADYBUG FREEZE DANCE - This game is played like "Freeze." Music plays and all your ladybugs "fly" around the garden. When the music stops, everyone must freeze. Whoever fails to do so is out. Play continues until only one ladybug remains.

Here's a few more ideas for games and activities that would be perfect for your ladybug party themes.

FIND THE LADYBUGS - Prior to the party, make a bunch of ladybugs using flat rocks. Paint all the rocks red and then paint a various number of black spots on each of them. Hide the "ladybugs" prior to the party. When it's time to find the ladybugs, have your little ones try to find as many of them as possible. Whoever finds the most is the winner. You can also make another winner based upon whoever has the most spots.

LADYBUG GAME - FIND THE WINNER - Prior to the party, cut out a bunch of black spots out of construction paper. One some of them write "WINNER" with a white or silver gel pen. Tape all the spots on a particular wall at an age-appropriate height so "WINNER" is concealed. Have the kids take down the spots and whoever has a spot with "WINNER" written on it, receives a prize.

GUESS HOW MANY "LADYBUGS ARE IN THE JAR - Fill a jar with black and red jellybeans (the ladybugs) and have the kids guess how many are in the jar.

LADYBUG GAME - BUG TOSS - Line up various sized clay pots and assign a point value to each pot according to size. Give the kids each 3-5 plastic ladybugs to try to throw into the clay pots. The child who gets the most points is the winner.

LADYBUG PINATA - Wrap bat with black and red streamers and tie curling ribbons at the bottom of the bat. Blindfold each child and have them each take hits at the pinata.
