Ninja Party Supplies and Ideas

If you're planning a Ninja birthday party or other Ninja-themed event this page will help you find the right party supplies and give you some cool ideas for Ninja-themed games and activities.

Ninjas are very popular with kids, especially the boys. One of the reasons is that kids love the Lego Ninjago sets and games.

Ninja cookie cutters are great for making Ninja-themed party food. Ninjabread men are definitely a cool idea! 

You can also use the cookie cutters to make Ninja sandwiches or pizzas (use them on homemade or store bought pizza.)

They can also be used to cut out Ninja shapes from fondant to make a Ninja birthday cake. 

Sword food picks are a fun and quick way to make party food fit a Ninja theme and these Bamboo swords are just right - very oriental!

You can stab them into pizza bites, savory snacks and cupcakes. You can also skewer small chunks of cheese or fruit to make Ninja sword skewers!

Having a whole plateful of food with these picks looks very effective for very little effort.

Giving kids a dress up item is a great way to start a party. For a Ninja party a Ninja headband works brilliantly. 

You can make a Ninja headband from a strip or brightly colored material, or just a band of craft card or colored construction paper. 

Or you can buy Ninja headbands and let the kids take them home as party favors.

Making origami Ninja stars is a fun activity for bigger kids at a Ninja party. You can let them watch a video to see how to do it or have an adult show them. 

For little kids, just make the Ninja throwing stars in advance and use them to decorate the party and then let them play with them. 

If you make them in nice colored paper then they make cool extra party favors to take home. 

A few fun Ninja-themed party games include:

• Hold a Ninja training session. Practice skills like creeping, jumping, correct use of weapons. It's best to use smaller weapons like the Ninja throwing stars and balloon nunchuks. Swords are best saved until the kids are about to leave - they can easily get out of hand!
• Musical Ninjas. Stealth is an important skill for Ninjas. They need to be able to keep completely still. It's musical statues with a Ninja twist!
• Ninja weapon hunt. Print out pictures of Ninja weapons (I like to laminate the pictures) and hide them around the room. Tell the kids that Samurai have stolen their weapons and they need to get them back! You can give each child a list of weapons to tick off. Make some of the weapons easy to find and some a bit harder. You can do a Ninja weapons hunt indoors or outdoors. Award a small prize for finishing. 

Foam Ninja Swords make a cool party favor for kids to take away with them. 

You can use these as a very cool party decoration and hand them up on the wall during the party. Use loops of twine or thread and then use sticky tack to fix the twine to the wall. 

When it's time to say goodbye to the guests you can take Ninja swords down from the walls and hand them out as the they leave. 

Small Ninja figures are a fun party favor. You can also had these out as small prizes during the party so each kids gets to take a few home. 

Some people use these Ninjas as cake toppers too.
