Pokemon Birthday Party Activities

So now it's the big day. Everything is set and ready, but what is there to do with the kids?! I have found some perfect activity ideas for a Pokemon Birthday Party.

Find the Pokemons

For this activity, you're going to need to buy a Pokemon poster. The good news, is that it is not so expensive plus it makes a great souvenir for the birthday child.

This activity works a little like where's Waldo. Except, the kids have to find a Pokemon and not Waldo! Since there is more than 650 (there are that many, no kidding) on the poster, kids can spent quit a bit of time on this activity. From my experience, the kids can stay occupied for a good half hour. All you need is a good list of pokemons.

Pin the tail on Pikachu

This one works like pin the tail on the donkey! 

Pokemon Pinata

Pinatas are always a success with kids (I guess it has to do with the fact they're full of candies!).  It's easy to find a Pokemon Pinatas on the web, But you can also try to make a pokemon pinata yourself

Pokemon Birthday Party Cake

I am no professional baker, so when it comes to cakes, i choose simple options! 

One of the most simple way to make an amazing cake is to buy an edible cake topper. I have found many Pokemon birthday cake topper on ebay. Most of them cost $10 or less and you can even have it personalized with your child's name.

Pokemon birthday party loot bags

It's already time to go. Did you think about the goody bags? I did! You don't need to fill it up with many items. 2 or 3 great items will make the kids happier than filling it with random items from the dollar stores. Here's what I suggest:

pokemon yo-yo's

pokemon favor cup

pokemon tatoos

make cookies yourself!
