Monopoly Birthday Party Theme

Decorations
Decorate in the colors from the game board. Put up monopoly boards on the walls. On the main table scatter property cards on a white or light blue table cloth. Make plates, cups, balloons and flatware mix and match in the monopoly  colors.

Fun Ideas
Have a parent or friend dress up like “Mr. Monopoly” and give out money to the guests randomly or when the they do a  good job. Dress another friend up to be the policeman and randomly send people to the jail space. They either have to roll doubles with dice (make 2 large dice out of packing boxes) or pay $50.00.

If guests run out of money they must either answer a truth question (Community Chest) or take a dare (Chance) - if they complete their task they get $50.00.

Games
Set up different stations for what you will be doing and name them after the properties. Make huge property cards with  the names and hang in back of the stations. Set a price for all the stations and games and when guests arrive give  them $200 for passing “go”. (Make a large poster board with the game space “go” and set it up at the front door.)

For prizes give away monopoly money.

Examples:

Boardwalk Games - set up carnival style games like mystery fishing, tin can knock over and ring toss.

Ventnor Avenue Bakery - Decorate cupcakes

Baltic Avenue - Craft or activity

Free Parking - area with couches and chairs to hang out

Let an auction be held every 10 to 15 minutes for the properties - keep track by hanging a monopoly board on the wall. Give the property cards to the winners for them to carry around. At the end of the party the person with the most property or money wins a new monopoly game (or other prize).

Food
Decorate a sheet cake like the monopoly board.

Individual foil wrapped hot dogs, popcorn, peanuts, cotton candy and snow cones - for “sale” at one of the stations with monopoly money.

Party Favors
Have a prize table at the end of the party where guests can spend their monopoly money on candies and toys to take home.
