Create invitations; perhaps send each guest an invitation with a different countries flag! When the guests arrive have them color, or create with construction paper, their designated county flag to carry in your “opening ceremony”.  Flags are also an inexpensive party decoration.  Choose from many countries and shapes or for a fun prepartty activity you and our child can decorate your own flags with these great make your own flag kits.  They are also great for a combined party favor and activity.

Display a “winners board” with all your Olympic activities listed. You can find tons of Olympic party supplies, or you can easily make them. There are many, many activities to choose, from the simple ring toss, relay games, or shoe scramble, to the Olympic events like a disc throw, 100 yard dash, long jump or planned obstacle course using such items as boxes that they can jump over, hoola hoops they need to jump through, tubes they can crawl through, a balance beam, a wooden ladder placed on the ground to step over, crab walk, and/or a rope swing. Make a map of the obstacle course for each child complete with a numbered sequenced order of the events, marked by arrows, so each contestant understands the order of the game. When you are ready to play the game, have the children divide up into two teams at opposite ends. Have each child start at the beginning line and send them through one at a time. The first team to finish is the winner!

Be sure to have snacks between games, such as juice boxes, or refreshing popsicles, and don’t forget to give out prize medals, (coin chocolates) or trophies.  

The birthday cake can be a regular sheet cake with white frosting and the 5 colored Olympic Rings applied with frosting paint or food coloring.

Boy’s Birthday Party Activities and Games

One thing to consider when throwing a birthday party for boys is to make sure there are plenty of activities planned to keep the party flowing and energy levels under control.

You will definitely want some fun and creative organized activities for your son’s party.  Try adapting ideas to your  birthday party theme.  Most games are adaptable to any theme but,  are so much fun that they fall into the “Plain, old fashioned, all-round fun theme” – perfect for any party!

If possible, have a couple of extra activities that don’t require much work in your back pocket in case things move along quicker than anticipated.  Here  some  easy, but great ideas, neither of which are a lot of work on your part and both allow the kids to blow off some steam.

• Have a long rope handy for a game of tug of war, doesn’t require much work and the boys just love to compete and show off how strong they are.
• Have some suspenseful music like Star Wars theme recorded and ready to go for freeze dance – but put a spin on it.  Instead of dancing, have them perform their favorite Superhero moves.
