THROW A BACK TO SCHOOL PARTY w/ AIR JUMP DEPOT

School is starting soon and what better way to celebrate or get your kids excited about the start of the new school year than to throw a party. Here are some ideas of how you can celebrate. Invitations Make simple construction paper or cardstock invitations and let your kids help. Choose one or a variety of the following school related ideas: (Remember to tell them you're having Air Jump Depot there TOO!) Bookmark - Cut a piece of cardstock into a rectangle about 2 inches by 6 inches. Punch a hole in the top and tie a few pieces of yarn through the hole. Write "It's a Party!" on the front and the party information on the back of the bookmark. Crayon - Fold a piece of 4x6 construction paper in half lengthwise. Cut one end into a point for your crayon. Write "It's a Party!" on the front and the party information inside the card. Chalkboard - Fold a brown piece of paper in half like a card. Then cut out a green rectangle about ½ inch smaller all around and glue it on the front. Then write in chalk if you have it, or a white crayon "It's a party!" Inside the card include all of the party information. Decorations Decorate with primary colors. Use red, blue, and yellow streamers and balloons. Try making an alphabet banner - tape pieces of green construction paper together and write the letters of the alphabet in white crayon. Games/ Activities Play some games that have a learning theme like: trivia, memory, bingo, or boggle. Give prizes like pencils or erasers to the winners. Interactive inflatable games can be found atwww.airjumpdepot.com . Make a large chalkboard on one wall. Tape green butcher paper (available at teaching supply stores) on a wall and make a brown border out of butcher or construction paper. Then give children white crayons or chalk and let them draw on the board. Play recess games like "Red Rover," "Simon Says," "Red light - Green light," or "Freeze Tag" in the bouncers. You could also have each child make a simple craft that they could give to their teacher. There are some cutegift ideasthat kids can make for their new teacher. Food Make acrayon cakeand serve it to your guests. Or let each of your guests decorate a sugar cookie or brownie by frosting it then creating a letter or number using frosting, decorating gel, or small candies.
