Robot Birthday Party Ideas
A ROBOT BIRTHDAY PARTY is a popular theme, especially with boys. There are many robots you can draw from for inspiration, from Star Wars to cartoons. You can be as high tech as you wish, with mechanical toys or a robot entertainer, or have younger kids make robots from cardboard boxes! This theme really is versatile for a party, and can be suitable for a variety of age ranges easily without much modification. |
INVITATION IDEAS
For a robot birthday party you MUST have a robot shaped invitation! Nothing else will quite hit the mark! Choose a selection of different robots or your child’s favorite.
DECORATIONS
Party tableware
• Robot birthday party tables can be laid out like a machine shop! This is fun, with nuts and bolts and wires, so long as the kids are old enough not to eat any or hurt themselves, so be careful.
• Robot tableware needs to have robots on, and you can stick stickers onto plain paper cups if you wish. Try labelling items for the table, like labelling drinks “machine oil” etc.
Room Decorations
• Make the room look like a machine shop, with tools and wires and cans labelled “oil”.
• A party banner can be decorated with robot pictures, and have small nuts and bolts hanging suspended off it.
• Flashing lights (especially neon lights) and dials etc. add to the atmosphere.
• Give each kid a flashlight and have low lighting to add to the robot birthday party atmosphere.
Specials for the special child
• A robot, or robot costume would be ideal, if you can afford one!
• Remote control toys also add to the atmosphere.
Gifts and accessories for guests
• Glow in the dark items are fun toys for this theme, and easy to get hold of.
• Robot birthday party toys also include toys like laser spinners which are very simple but will amuse for ages!
• Get kids to make things to take home, like sculptures and gadgets.
Party favors and goody bags
• Small toys on a robot theme will make robot birthday party favors. A tool box or lunch box is ideal to hold items in to make a favor box.
• Make candy and cookies in the shape of robots or nuts.
• And here is the Robots Favor Pack which will satisfy any kid.
GAMES AND ACTIVITIES
Robot birthday party games and activities depend on age.
Robot “Dancing”
From Michael Jackson’s moonwalk to mime robots, we’ve all seen robot movements and dancing. Have a competition and award prizes for the best robots action.
Robot building
No robot birthday party would be complete without building robots. Get some really strong glue and board and let them really build special projects that will last. They can decorate their creations with buts, bolts, foil and small bulbs etc. You can give prizes in categories, e.g. biggest robot, most realistic robot, coolest robot, smallest robot etc.
Robot instructions
This game is Simon Says, but have a “control pad” in your hands made of a box with knobs. Use a flashlight in it to make a light, and when the light is on the kids are all robots and have to do what they are told. When the light is off they have to remain still and ignore the instructions. See how quickly you can catch them out.
Robot relays
Relay races are always fun at parties, and robot birthday party relays can be different. Try these relay races:
- An egg and spoon race but with a spoon full of bolts!
- Build a robot relay, building a cardboard robot from parts they have to find one at a time, hidden in rooms round the house
- A broken leg race. This is a three-legged race but one of them is a robot with one leg broken so you place their foot on top of the other persons foot and tie their legs together.
Dressing up like ROBOTS
A fun game can be dressing up as robots, using cardboard boxes and foil.
ROBOT BIRTHDAY PARTY ideas are easy and fun but you need to be CAREFUL with this theme that kids stay safe with metal objects etc.
