2. ACTION GAME: ‘Princesses and Superheroes’
Use this game as a chance to introduce the children to the theme and warm them up.
Princesses = pull a muscle pose as you say “I’m strong and brave!”
Dragon = say “roarrrrr” with scary hands
Superhero = one hand on hip and the other punches the sky in a fist (superman pose) and sing well known part of superman theme song “da da da da da da da da
Baddie = find a friend to hug and scream “Ahhh!”
Fairy godmother = wave magic wand and sing “bibbidi bobbidi boo”
a) “Every time I say ‘princesses’ you have to remember to say, ‘I’m strong and brave’.” Demonstrate the action listed above as you say the words. Then, you say ‘princesses’ and the children pull a muscle pose as they say ‘I’m strong and brave’. Practice several times.
b) One by one add in the rest of the characters listed above. Make sure to mix up the order in which you are saying the character names as you teach the game.
c) At first, do all the actions and sounds with the children.
d) When they have got the hang of it, you tell them you are now watching to see if they can
be really clever and remember all of the sounds and actions without your help.

Let’s make a circle,
A circle a circle.
Let’s make a circle,
At insert child’s name’s birthday party.
Repeat until everyone is in a circle. Please use this song every time you need the children in a circle throughout the duration of the party.
5. WISHING SONG: ‘Starlight Starbright’ by Traditional
“Let’s see what I have in my sparkly magic bag today.” Reveal magic wand. “What does a magic wand do? Today I’m going to show you how we can use it to make wishes come true. You can wish for a superpower like x-ray vision, shooting webs or flying to help you be a real superhero or you can wish for something to make you a real princess like a tiara, a fairy godmother or a beautiful dress. First you need to learn the special wishing song and it goes like this.” Point your wand to different children to the pulse as you sing the song acapella.
