Flintstones Birthday Party Theme

Ages: 5 to 12

Invitation and Decoration Ideas:

Create an invite that has a picture of Fred on the front saying "Yabba Dabba Doo!" Put the information for the party on the inside. Another option is to create a card that looks like the face of the Flintstone's pet dino. When you open the card it looks like you are opening his mouth.

Decorate the party area with a cave man theme. Hang gray and black streamers from the ceiling to make the area feel like a cave. Have life size pictures of the characters from the Flintstones hanging on the wall. Have a lot of fake plants in the party area.

Games and Activities:

Stoneage Dressup. Get orange, brown and black material. Cut the edges so that they are jagged. As the kids arrive help them dress up like the Flintstones by tying the material over one shoulder.

Bone Cookies. Before the party make sugar cookies shaped like bones. Provide the kids with frosting, small candies and sprinkles to decorate the cookies.

Bowling. Fred Flintstone loves to bowl, so set up a couple of homemade bowling alleys for the kids. You'll need 10 empty two liter bottles for each one that you will set up. Wash the bottles and take off the labels. Fill the bottles with colorful tissue paper. Give the kids a small ball to use to try and knock them over.

Car Driving. Decorate a few boxes to look like Fred Flintstones car. Divide the group into two teams. Each team gets and car and each player must go through a driving course. Put up little cones for them to weave in and out of, use chalk to draw a road on the driveway that they must follow make a stop sign etc.

Food Ideas:

Put candies in light yellow colored Easter Eggs and put them in a bowl together. You could even draw spots on them with a permanent marker to make them look like dinosaur eggs. Serve sticks and stones (pretzel's and M&M's), Candy clubs (pretzel rods dipped in chocolate or white almond bark and rolled in sprinkles), corn dogs or small hot dogs.
