The stories of Aladdin, genies and the cave of the 40 Thieves bring thoughts of excitement and adventure. Bring some of that fun into your party through some great interactive games for your guests to play. Even if you feel that your guests might shy away from playing a game or two, dont underestimate how just one game played early on can get everyone loosened up and out of themselves for the duration of the party! Arabian / Aladdin Theme Party Games #1: This is a great game no matter what the age of the participants. Find several copies of the EXACT same book at your local library. Ask your librarian for options on reserving copies from other branches that they might co-op with. The number of books you are able to get your hands on will determine how many teams youll be able to have. Of course, you could always purchase multiple copies of the same book at your local bookstore, but this is obviously the costlier way to go (although, having the extra books can be fun parting gifts for your guests!) Divide the participants in groups no larger than three, each equipped with their own copy of the book. When everyone is ready, call out an item (from a list youve prepared ahead of time) that can be found inside the book. Make sure everyone hears the image before you say Go! No one is to open their book until you say Go however, when you do, each team is to frantically storm through the book looking for the image. For example, you might call out images such as a monkey with a red hat or A palm tree with two coconuts. It takes a couple of items to get everyone warmed up but youll find that it wont take long before youll hear things like Oh, wait! I remember seeing that somewhere in the back or Im not sure where, but its on one of the pages in the upper right corner as the players get more familiar with the book. This can also be played with a magazine with an Arabian themed article (National Geographic, etc.)
o If only boys will be participating, explain that the winner of the competition will get to marry the princess and become Sultan over all the land. o Theme out each station to the Arabian theme. For example, if you have them walk across a 2×4 board, put a couple of inflatable alligators on both sides of the board with a sign saying Alligator Infested Waters. If you plan on them knocking down cups with a nerf gun off a fence, tape images of evil genies to each cup. You get the idea. o For added difficulty, make them wear something that must stay on the entire time they are running through the course (i.e. a fez hat for boys, a veil for girls, etc.) If the item falls off, they must stop to replace the item before they can continue. For a harsher penalty, you could make them start over if the item falls off. This also makes it more fun for everyone to watch as guests run through the course.
Arabian / Aladdin Theme Party Games #4: If youve planned several games and activities where a winner will be announced, crown that person the Sultan of the party. This is also a great honor/title to give the guest of honor of the party, such as the birthday girl/boy Other Arabian and Aladdin Theme Party Resource Articles:Arabian / Aladdin Theme Party Decorating Ideas Arabian / Aladdin Theme Party Food Ideas |
