Friday we had Hema's 1st grade class Christmas party. Since I am the room mom and get to plan it, I decided to mix it up and do something different. It seems like the parties are always the same: a craft, a snack and a couple games. I don't know how the other kids are, but Hema usually throws his snack and craft away. I decided to do a Minute To Win It party for the class. Hilary, the other room mom thought it sounded fun so we got planning. I had seen some ideas HERE on this blog. We used a couple of their ideas, added a few of our own and it was super fun!
 |
| I made these little sticker tags for each of the kids. |
The games we played were:
JINGLE BOX
 |
| The boxes and bells for the Jingle Box game. |
 |
| Here's the principal playing it! He was the ONLY one who didn't get all the bells out! And I do think he really was trying! |
M&M RELAY
 |
| M& M Relay - we used red and green M& Ms. |
GIFT BAG TOSS
 |
| This was going to be a wreath toss, but ended up being a gift bag toss. The kids threw marshmallows in the gift bag. |
SNOWBALL FIGHT
 |
| This was probably the class favorite! SNOWBALL FIGHT!! We waded up the paper ahead of time and they threw them back & forth and in the end the team with the least "snowballs" on their side won. |
USE YOUR NOODLE
 |
| Mrs. Johnson, Hema's teacher, doing the noodle game. You pick up several noodles using a spaghetti noodle held in your mouth. |
It ended up being a super fun party and since all the games were pretty active, it was perfect for the 30 little 1st graders who could barley contain their energy on the last day of school before a 2 week Christmas break. BTW, the kids are all in their PJs because they had a Polar Express assembly earlier in the day.
 |
| Hema has been begging for footie pajamas for a year now and I finally broke down and bought him a pair! We was so excited to wear them! |
