Create a fun-filled Thomas the Tank Engine theme party. It's time to go full steam ahead. Here's some dynamite games that will compliment your Thomas the Tank Engine party:


THOMAS THE TANK ENGINE BIRTHDAY PARTY GAMES & ACTIVITIES

MAKE A CHOO CHOO TRAIN - Gather as many empty shoeboxes as you have children. Punch a hole at each end of each shoebox. Give each child a box to decorate to create their own "train car." Have available various paints, markers, glitter, tickers, buttons, pom poms, etc. for embellishing the cars. After the cars are dry, have a birthday helper tie all the boxes together to create the train. They can use string or twine to join the boxes by tying a knot through each hole. Once this is done, let the kids take turns pulling the train. They can also fill the cars with small stuffed animals.

MAKE A TRAIN - Cut out train shapes from various colored construction paper. Give a train car to each child to decorate. You can use the same embellishments as noted above. When they are done, glue the cars to a large piece of butcher paper that is hanging on the wall. Then have the kids draw train tracks, buildings, trees, bushes, flowers, grass areas, etc. on the butcher paper.

THOMAS THE TRAIN GAMES - STATION MASTER SAYS - This game is played like "Simon Says..." except all requests shall consist of train-related actions. Mom, Dad, or an older sibling starts by saying, "Station Master Says whistle like a train. The kids would then do their respective renditions of a train whistle while making train motions. If Station Master doesn't preface the request with "Station Master Says" and only says to whistle like a train, the players would not whistle, nor would they move like a train. Other requests could be to make a choo-choo sound, make a chuga-chuga sound like a train does when it pulls away from the depo, say "All Aboarrrrd!," screech your brakes like a train, give the conductor your ticket, etc. The goal is to try to stay in the game the longest.

THOMAS THE TRAIN GAMES - COAL TOSS - Make black beanbags (pieces of "coal") by cutting pieces of black felt into squares. Sew two pieces together on three sides, fill it 3/4 full with beans, and sew the remaining side closed. Let kids take turns throwing the bags into the train firebox hole. Create the firebox by sealing a cardboard box and cutting a hole in the center of it that is large enough to throw the beanbags through.

THOMAS THE TRAIN GAMES - PIN THE CABOOSE ON THOMAS THE TANK ENGINE BIRTHDAY TRAIN - This game is played like Pin the Tail on the Donkey. Make a train using various colors of posterboard, except for red, and attach the train cars to a wall. Make as many red cabooses, as there are players, out of posterboard. Blindfold the first child, spin them around, and have them try to pin a caboose onto the train. Use double stick tape. The child who gets their caboose closest to the end of the train wins.

THOMAS THE TRAIN GAMES - FIND THE TRAIN - Attach various colors of yarn to toy trains. Hide the trains throughout the house winding the yarn around your furniture. Have all the ends of the yarn start in one location. Give each child a piece of yarn and tell them to follow their yarn to their prize. By using different colors of yarn, it is easier for each child to follow their piece of yarn and not get it confused with their neighbor's yarn.

THOMAS THE TRAIN GAMES - RED LIGHT, GREEN LIGHT - Each of the kids pretend to be a train. One of the parents or older kids shall be the train engineer. The engineer shall be given one large red and one large green "light" made from cardstock. The game starts by having all of the trains line up at the starting line. The engineer will then holdup the green "light" and all of the trains shall move forward while making various train sounds like whistles, choo-choo-, etc. and move toward the engineer. When the engineer holds up a red "light", then all the trains must stop moving and making train sounds. If anyone continues to make a sound or move forward, they must return to the starting line. The first train to reach the engineer is the winner.

THOMAS THE TANK ENGINE BIRTHDAY PARTY PINATA - Wrap a bat with colorful streamers and curling ribbons. Blindfold a child, spin them around, and let them take a hit or two at the pinata. Repeat the process until everyone has taken at least one turn.

TRAIN BIRTHDAY PARTY ACTIVITY STATIONS - Create various activity stations and have a teenager or adult monitor each station. Hang a sign at each station identifying its respective activity.

Station 1: Train Tattoo - Provide various train tattoos for the kids to select from. Provide washcloth and bowl of water for your helper to use for application purposes.

Station 2: Train Creations - Provide Play-Doh with tools and train-shaped cookie cutters and molds.

Station 3: Train Coloring - Provide train coloring books with crayons and markers.

Station 4: Train Building - Provide Lego trains or wood-type trains for the kids to build.
