Care Bears Game Ideas

The current game suggestion for a Care Bear themed birthday party:

Care Bears Stare:  Needed supplies - 2 Chairs and 2 Participants.

Lets have A Care Bears Stear Off

Two players sit across from one another and the stare off begins.  The first one to blink is eliminated.  The winner faces the next challenger until one person is left - the Care Bear Stare Champ.

Pin the Care Bear to the Cloud Car: Needed Supplies - 1 poster paper, paint or markers to draw a big cloud then a smaller cloud with wheels above the first clound, Care Bears Stickers, and a blind fold.

Who can get their Care Bear on the cloud car?

Each participant takes turns being blindfolded and spinned around in order to get their Care Bear on the Cloud Car.  Person with the closet Care Bear to the cloud car wins.

Care Bears Estimation Jar:  Needed supplies -   1 Jar filled with a bunch of Care Bear mini toys, stickers or other Care Bears themed items.

Who guess the correct number of Care Bears in the jar?

Everyone gets a chance to guess how many Care Bears they think fit in the jar.  The person with the closest number without going over win and gets to keep the jar.

Star, Star, Care Bears:  Need Supplies - participants and 1 optional Care Bears mask.

Care Bears run for their chance not to be it.

This is basically duck, duck, goose with a Care Bears Spin.  The selected person walks around the circle of kids, touching them on the head, and calling out star to all the people they don't select to play that round.  When the challenger is selected the player touches their head and calls out Care Bears.  The player tries to make it back to the Challengers spot before the challenger does.  The person who makes it back last becomes the player and the process starts all over again.

Care Bears Gift Ideas

Why use them?

1. Loot bags act as a thank you to the guest to show your gratitude for your guest sharing your child's special day with you.
2. A great place to put a thank you card and save on postage.
3. Calms the green eyed monster, especially with younger children, and make the guest feel included in all the birthday fun.

Favor bags don't have to be expensive unless you are so inclined.  Just use a regular colored bag and fill it with small treats and toys.  Kids are often impressed with the simplest things.  A small bouncing ball would make a great choice.
