A couple years ago my son wanted to have a Pokemon birthday party. With the release of Pokemon Diamond and Pearl, Pokemon is still a popular party theme for young boys.I thought I’d share a couple things here that we did for my son’s party, maybe it will give you some ideas for your own Pokemon party.Pokemon Party Game Ideas Have a Pokeball hunt. The Pokeballs can double as your party favors. Hide the Pokeballs like you would eggs if you were going to have an Easter egg hunt. Hide them in tougher spots if you have older children, make them easier to find if you have young children. Let each child find a Pokeball or two to take home with them.

Instead of a Pokeball hunt, you could also have a Pokemon treasure hunt. Divide the children into teams. Give the teams names like the Pokemon training team, or Team Rocket. Set up a trail of clues leading the children to a prize. Set up the trail before the guests arrive for the party. It’s easiest to start with the prize and work your way backward when you’re setting up the clues.

Draw a Pekachu on a large sheet of white paper, or a white board and play pin the tail on Pekachu.Get out the construction paper, pens, crayons, and markers. Let the children draw or create their favorite Pokemon.Play Pokemon trivia.

Play Pokemon charades and let the children pretend to be their favorite Pokemon while the other children try to guess who they are.

Pokemon Party Decoration Ideas Decorate with red and white, or golden yellow. Make stars, lightning bolts, or Pokeball shapes to stick on the walls, or hang from the ceiling.Pokemon Cake Ideas

Make a Pikachu shaped cake, or make a Pokeball shaped cake or cupcakes with the Wilton Mini Ball Pan or the Wilton Sports Ball Pan Set.

You can also purchase Pokémon Cake Toppers to decorate a sheet cake, or round cake with.

Whatever you decide to do make sure you include your favorite Pokemon trainer (birthday star) in the party plans. Kids love to help plan their own party.

Football Toss
Divide the children into teams of two. You will need a football for each team. Have each of the children line up facing each other behind a designated line.

The kids will toss the ball from one to the other. After each successful toss the person who catches the ball takes a step back. If either player drops the ball, the team is out. Play until there is only one team left. The winning team gets the prize.

Football Throw
Let each child throw the football, the winner is the child who throws the football the furthest.

Flag Football
Cut up some fabric in two different colors. Divide the children into teams. Dangle the fabric swatch out of each child’s pocket. Each team is a designated color. Then play a fun game of flag football. You set the exact rules. Make sure you let the children’s parents know ahead of time, so they don’t send their children in their dress clothes.

Football Hoop Toss
Hang an old tire in a tree, or have an adult hold a hula-hoop at arms length. Have the children attempt to toss the football through the hoop. If you tie a tire in a tree you can also start the tire swinging and see if the children can hit the moving target.

Here are more ideas and supplies for your football themed birthday party
