The Pokemon Birthday Party Has Arrived

After all the prep, the birthday party has finally arrived. Invitations went out, goody bags were made, and finally the big day arrived. Here's what the filled goody bags looked like.


I'm fortunate enough to be able to have these events at my work (school). I love it. I don't have to worry about my house not being big enough or how clean it is =o). And the kids can run and run and we don't have to worry about weather. That's an issue out here in the Northwest. June can either be hot as heck or rainy and chilly.

We started the party with everyone painting their own Pokeball. Messy? A little. But fun? You bet.


We played Pokemon Bingo (which we called Pichu). I found a great website where you can print out these great Bingo cards in different designs/themes. And thank goodness they had Pokemon! Perfect! We used Skittles as the markers and the kids got to take home the bag of leftover Skittles in their goody bags.


We also played pin the tail on Pikachu. I drew a big Pikachu and printed out tails.

Then we had some "Pokemon food".




This isn't very "Pokemon-y" but how could a bunch of 8 year old boys be in a school gym and not have a dodgeball tournament? Not possible.

I think this is one happy boy! (I'm not quite sure about his sister.) =o)

That's a lot of Pokemon! But I think everyone had a great time. My son said it was awesome. So, totally worth it!
