Friendship Party

3rd Grade Party Plan

Games:

  1. Cupid Relay –Divide the class into two teams. The first player must run to a designated spot, put on a pair of cupid’s wings, a diaper made of either large white underwear or shorts, and a sash that says CUPID. Once dressed they must undress and return to the team so the next player may go.

Supplies: 2 pair of wings, 2 pair of large white underwear or shorts, 2 large sashes that say CUPID

  1. Conversation Heart Competitions –Divide the students up into teams of two. Give each team a box or cup of conversation hearts and 2 pair of chopsticks. Competition #1– have the teams race to see who can build the tallest tower out of conversations hearts in 60 seconds. ( You may want to try this 2-3 times). Competition #2 – have the teams race again to see who can build the tallest tower again but this time only using chopsticks to move the hearts. ( You will want to try this several times.)

Supplies: 25 pair of chopsticks, 25 boxes or cups of conversation hearts, an adult with a stop watch.

Craft: Bee Pencil Topper - This Bee Pencil Topper is so easy to make and so cute.

• 25 black pipe cleaners

25 ½ pieces of yellow pipe cleaner
• 25 Pencils
• 50 glue dots for hearts
• White Construction paper
• scissors
• 50 sticky google eyes

Here's how you make it...

1. Place your pencil in the middle of the black pipe cleaner.

2. Wrap both ends of your pipe cleaner around the top of the pencil, working your way up to the top and leaving the two ends loose at the top (for the antennae).
3. Cut your yellow pipe cleaner in half (you will only use half at the most). Starting at the bottom, wrap your yellow pipe cleaner all the way up to the top of the pencil. If you have some let at the top just cut it off.

4. Attach sticky google eyes. Use glue dots to add

5. Cut out two small hearts and write "Bee" and "Mine" on the hearts and use glue dots too attach them to your bee's antennae.
