Fireman Birthday Party

Fireman Party
Ask a group of children what they want to be when they
grow up and someone is bound to say a Fireman.
After
all, Fire engines are cool. Plus the water hoses
spray a lot farther than the one in the back yard.
On the invitation, ask the other children to wear their
rain slickers. Look for fireman hats at the dollar
store or on line. orientaltrading.com
has a large selection of hats and other birthday
party goodies.
Call your local fire department and ask
if they participate in any childrens Birthday
Parties. Some fire departmints let the Party group come by
the firehouse and give a tour of the place.
Some fire companys will actually come to the party in a
big red fire engine. The Party that I attended
the firemen let the kids get in the fire truck
and talked about fire safety. The
children really had a great time.
Decorations
- Line your walkway with small American Flags.
- Create a fire truck out out of a
refrigerator box,
magic markers, red and white paint,
paper plates, crepe paper,
construction paper, ect.
[most appliance companys will give away
refrigerator boxes ]
- Make a sign and put outside "Gavin's Firehouse"
- Put a flashing red light on the Gift table
- Stuffed dalmation dogs
- Red & yellow balloons
- Red & yellow napkins
Activities
* If the weather is warm, water games are a sure
hit at a firemans party. Break out the hose.
* Water balloon toss [take a step back after
each successful catch]
* Fill the bucket [run a relay , have the children
use a cup full of water and race to fill a bucket.
Use some cones so they have to weave their way to and
from the bucket.
* Giant bubbles [see giant bubbles
on our home page nav bar]
* Tug of war with a small pool in the middle.
* Obstacle course [use hoses, shovels, piles of dirt, ect.]
Party Favors
For party favors use water pistols, miniature
fire engines, plastic fireman hats, ect.
Food
Chicken nuggets, pizza delivery and a firetruck
birthday cake with can or box drinks will work
fine for an outdoor party. No need to get to fancy.
