Double Trouble Birthday Party Theme
Double the fun with these ideas for a Double Trouble birthday party theme. Great for kids of all ages, twins and siblings.
|
Invitations On solid color invitations (sold at craft and discount stores - check the wedding section) print the words "Double Trouble" on the top of the cards. Below print or glue pictures of the birthday kids. Verse inside: Double the Trouble ... Double the Fun! |
Decorations
Choose two colors for the party or two shades of the same color and accent with white or black. Fill the party room with helium balloons (we like to tie strings on our and let them float to the ceiling so the birthday guests have to walk through the strings. Then at the end of the party the kids get to take the balloons home as a party favor), streamers and let some balloons stay on the floor so guests can play with them while waiting for others to arrive.
Decorate the table by placing two of everything (cups, plates, utensils) at each persons place. Fill one cup with ice and the other with a drink. Tell them they must use both forks to eat the cake ... etc.
Icebreaker Game
A fun icebreaker game is to give everyone a nametag at the beginning of the party. On the nametag write their name and then underneath it write thier name again - only write it backwards. For the rest of the party the guests must call each other by both names.
For example:
| Justin | Sally |
| Nitsuj | Yllas |
Games
Mummy Wrap Game
One of the easiest and most fun games! See which team can wrap their mummy in toilet paper first. Divide birthday party guests into teams of 2 or 3 and give them 2 rolls of toilet paper. Let teams decide on who will be the mummy and then race to see who can wrap their mummy in toilet paper the quickest using all the paper. Stock up on paper and play this game a few times switching out mummy's. Then for the second round (Double Trouble!) tell them that they must use the same paper to wrap up another person on their team. This is very hard because the paper won't be on a roll. Teams who finished last will have an advantage because they will still have paper on a roll.
Double Trouble Treasure Hunt / Scavenger Hunt
Treasure hunts and Scavenger Hunts are a favorite birthday party game - how about combining the two for the Double Trouble birthday?
Print out the list of free scavenger hunt items on our website. Cut the items out so you have 40 pieces of paper - one item per piece of paper. Hide the items in plastic eggs, plastic baggies or something that will keep moisture away from the paper when you hide them. Also buy wrist bands in two different colors - enough for each guest to have one. Before the party hide the eggs or plastic baggies around the yard, park or party room.
When guests arrive divide them into two teams and tell them to find as many of the hidden clues as they can. Don't' tell them that these are actually items they will be trying to find later.
When all the hidden clues have been found tell the teams that they will now have to find all of the items on their list around the neighborhood. Send them off with an adult and a large paper bag to collect thier items. The twist is that the team who won the Treasure Hunt will have more items to find during the Scavenger Hunt.
See our Neighborhood Scavenger hunt page for rules.
Sponge Relay Games
Divide birthday party guests into 2 teams. Use 4 buckets - place two at the starting line and two 30 or more feet away. Fill the farthest buckets with water. Players take a sponge and run to the far bucket, dip the sponge in the water and then run back to the starting line bucket and squeeze the water into the empty bucket. The first team to fill their bucket wins. (Use larger buckets to hold the water first since a lot of the water will be lost as they race back to fill their bucket.) Variation: Double Trouble! Have them do the race again only they must run backwards.
