Ice Cream Party Ideas
Sundaes & Toppings
Let kids have lots of fun making their own sundaes.
Make sure you don't host the party indoors as you can expect a lot
of mess and outdoors will be easy to clean up. Ask your guests to
wear clothes they wouldn't mind getting messy in.
What You Will Need:
Different Flavors of Ice-Cream
Lots of Toppings - Sprinkles, Chopped Nuts, Chopped Fruits, Syrups,
Crushed Candy etc.
Whipped Cream
Sundae Glasses
Dry Ice
Decorations like Parasols, Wafers etc.
Lay out all the things except ice-cream and bowls of whipped
cream (which will come in when
needed) on a large table.
Before the Party Begins:
Gather the kids together and play some ice-cream themed games
like 'pin the cherry on the sundae' or 'pass the ice-cream sundae'
(based on pass the parcel) etc. Relay races are also a great way to
build up appetite and on a hot summer day, kids will want to dive
into the ice-cream after exercise. A great way to reward a game
winner is to let him/her be the first one to make their sundae. See
more Ice Cream Party Games.
Make Your Own Sundaes:
After the games are over, hand out each kid with an apron with
an ice-cream appliqué. The kids get to keep these as party favors.
Then the kids can take turns making their own sundaes. Younger kids
will need help scooping out the ice-cream. Then the kids are free
to add toppings of their choice after which they can decorate their
sundaes with colorful parasols, wafers etc.
It is a good idea to keep one person stationed near the table to
help the kids and to replenish supplies. Another good idea is to
take pictures, of course. Kids make lovely sights covered with
ice-cream!
