Birthday party inspiration/ideas needed - 5 year old

[busymama77]

I would like to be able to incorporate the number '5' in to the theme of the party.  The only idea I have right now is to do a super hero themed party, kids can dress up in their favorite super hero outfits (or I can make them) have a Superman cake and instead of the 'S' in the middle, I was going to put the number '5'. 

What do you all think?  Any other ideas you could toss my way would be great as well - something that you've done recently or seen.  Thanks!!

We did a pirate party for my son's third recently. That could easily translate to a 5 year olds party for sure.

Are you somewhere it has to be indoors, or do you have the option for outdoors? My other son is turning 5 in Jan. we are going to do a party in a gymnasium. It will be a race car theme. I will be making car boxes for all the kids and putting together a race track for them to race on. It will include pit stops for getting gas, air, tire change and oil.

I will also have a

-tire to throw bean bags threw as a bean bag toss game.

-a table lined with butcher paper that will have a  road drawn on it and match box cars to ride along it

-tshirt box to put a piece of paper in, some paint and roll matchbox cars around it to make a print of car tracks

-pizza

- cake shaped like the #5 It will be decorated like a road with little cars on it.

Other themes are:

Robots- put together robots using tin cans and spare parts from the garage (nuts and bolts etc)

Camping- Indoor or out with obvious stuff; campfire, tent(s), S'mores

Dinosaur excavation-Have a dinosaur hunt with tracks and Dino eggs to crack open with baby dino inside. Find dino bones in dirt/sand

It's easy to incorporate the numbers within the cakes or some of the games etc.
