Candy Cane Party

This theme was inspired by one of my favorite games as a child, "Candy Land". Take your guests on a sweet walk through the Candy Cane forest, craft some candy cane decorations, play some fun candy cane games and best of all eat some candy canes!

Supplies: Wood Chopsticks Candy Cane per team
Divide guest into teams. Set up a two lines, one is the starting line and the other is the turn-around line.
Each team player is given a chop stick and they all line up behind each other at the start line.
The first team player is given the candy cane to hang on his chopstick.
The object of the game is to have each player walk to the turn around point and back to the start line while keeping the candy cane on their chopstick, using only one hand to hold the chop stick.
If the candy cane falls off the player must start again at the start line.
When the player returns successfully to the start line, they must slide the candy cane onto the next person's chopstick.
Once a team player has completed they go to the back of the line and sit down.
The first team to have all players successfully go up and back with their candy cane wins! |

This game is similar to hang man. You choose a word and put blank lines that represent each letter of the word.
Give each player candy canes. #kids # Candy Canes -------------------------------- 1-5 4 6-10 3 10 plus 2
Have kids sit in a semi-circle facing the board. The first player tries to guess a letter in the puzzle. If the letter is not in the puzzle they lose a candy cane. Kids must try to remember what letters were called already or they will lose a candy cane. If they guess a letter in the puzzle they keep their candy candy and get a chance to guess the puzzle.
If they don't know or guess incorrectly play continues to the next player. Play continues until the puzzle is solved or everyone runs out of candy canes.
Those who still have candy canes when the puzzle is solved can keep them. |
