I need ideas for 1st gr. fall party  

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 
I need craft or game ideas for a 1st grade fall party, we only have 30 min. total.It cannot have anything to do with Halloween, there are 19 kids in my ds class. I got roped into this because me and 1 other mother signed up to bring snack/drinks to one of the class parties.No one else signed up to plan any of the parties. So any tips would be great, I have never done a class party! Are there certain websites with good ideas?
Thank you, Kristin

How about making paper bag puppets? I know Oriental Trading has kits they sell.

I still remember dunking for apples at my first grade fall party! We also did something with trying to bite donuts suspended on string while our hands were tied behind our backs, but that's pretty junk-foody. Maybe with something a bit healthier?

Triboys, you said the party can't have anything to do with Halloween, but what about a fall/harvest festival theme? You could serve apple cider (warm, if you can swing it - crockpot?) and plain donuts (yes, I know - junk food! ;-) ).

I remember doing something with colored fall leaves (real ones) when I was a kid, some sort of craft project, but I can't remember what exactly.

With kindergarteners (so it probably would work for first grade) we did a "slumber party". Basically, the kids got to wear their jammies, and we did a mini mock slumber party (of course they didn't sleep or spend the night, it was only a half hour or so). Basically the kids all made "beds" on the floor with a blanket they brought, the teacher read a "bedtime story", they pretended to go to sleep, and then "woke up" and had a "breakfast" of pancakes and juice. It was a lot of fun!
