Robin Hood Party Ideas

Robin Hood Theme birthday party including ideas for Robin Hood Invitations, Decorations, Activities, Games, Favors and Food.

 

Robin Hood Party Games

Bow and Arrow Contest
Set up different targets for the party guests to shoot a bow and arrow at - use hula hoops suspended from trees with rope, large cardboard boxes with targets painted on them or set up objects on a tabletop for the kids to knock over. 

Gold Coin Toss
Throw plastic gold coins into a treasure chest.  Set the chest on the floor (or table) about 6 feet from the base line where the party guests will be standing.

Give them each 5 gold coins and tell them to try and get the coins into the chest. To move on the group must get a certain number of coins in the chest - a good challenging number is to multiply the number of pirates x 4.

They may have to try over and over to get the correct number in the chest … which will make it challenging. 

 

 

 

 

Coin Search Relay 
Help Robin Hood and his merry men find the kings hidden coins! Hide 100 pennies in a small pool filled with sand (or bubbles and water in the summer). Teams race to see who can find a coin, put it in their Robin Hood sack and gather the most coins at the end of 5 minutes. Play several rounds.

Robin Hood Party Invitation Ideas
Wanted Posters -  Print out party information on parchment colored paper in the form of a wanted poster for Robin Hood.  Have an adult burn around the edges of the paper for a weathered look.  Attach the invitations to guests front doors with tape or magnets (for metal doors).

Robin Hood Scroll - Print out party information and then roll into a scroll and tie with a green or red ribbon.


Plain green cards with a red feather or arrow embellishment glued to the front.

Robin Hood party hats - print invitations on green paper and then fold into mini Robin Hood party hats. (Youtube.com has a great video tutorial). 

Robin Hood Party Decoration Ideas
There are two parts to the story of Robin Hood .... Sherwood Forest and Nottingham Castle.  Make two separate party areas decorated like both Sherwood Forest and Nottingham Castle. 
For Sherwood Forest:  Decorate in forest colors - light and dark green, brown and orange or purple.  Brown or green tablecloth with artificial vines and flowers in the center.  Green and brown streamers and balloons. 

Cover a playhouse, swing set or tent with a tarp or brown butcher paper and make a Sherwood forest fort.
The castle can be as easy as renting a bounce house or covering medium size boxes with grey construction paper and building a structure.
