🚌 Back to School Birthday Bash!

A bright and brainy celebration that mixes the fun of birthdays with the excitement of sharpened pencils and brand-new notebooks! This party theme is perfect for kids who love to learn, laugh, and snack like a straight-A student!

🎨 PARTY THEME: Back to School Bash

This theme is styled like a whimsical school classroom — think chalkboards, apples, pencils, notebooks, and backpacks! Decorate with red, yellow, green, and blue — with touches of alphabet letters, lined paper, and ruler tape everywhere.

🎲 GAMES & ACTIVITIES

📚 Backpack Relay Race
Split kids into teams. Each team fills a backpack with school supplies and races across the yard, drops it off, and returns. First team done wins a gold star sticker!

✂️ Pencil Toss
Kids toss pencils into mason jars labeled with point values. Tally their scores — prize goes to the “sharpest shot!”

🖍️ Crayon Color Hunt
Hide large foam or paper crayons around the party. Each child gets a color checklist and has to find one of each.

🍏 Apple Stack Challenge
Use mini apples or red balls. Kids race to stack the most apples in 1 minute — it’s a wobbly good time!

🧠 Pop Quiz Trivia
Create a silly kid-friendly quiz with questions like “How many crayons in a box?” or “What’s 2+2+2?” Winners get a mini eraser or smartie candy prize.

🪑 Musical Desks
Like musical chairs but using classroom-style seats or clipboard chairs. Use school-themed music!

📝 Decorate Your Own Notebook
Each child gets a mini blank notebook and a set of stickers, foam letters, glitter glue, and markers.

🎒 School Supply Obstacle Course
Kids have to crawl under rulers, hop over backpacks, zig-zag through lunch boxes, and ring the recess bell at the end!

📸 Back to School Photo Booth
Set up a chalkboard backdrop with props like apples, fake glasses, a “#1 Student” sash, and oversized pencil cutouts.
