      Games

      For these two glowing games, collect six

      empty plastic water or soda bottles with no

      labels and insert an activated glow stick into

      each. Fill them with water, and tightly replace

      the caps. Play in a room or area where flying

      balls and water won’t damage the floors or

      furnishings!

      RING TOSS

      Place the bottles in a straight line or 1-2-3 for-

      mation about 5 feet away. Take turns throwing

      activated glow necklaces like flying discs and

      seeing how many land on a

      bottle. Players get 1 point for

      each bottle. Whoever gets

      the most points wins!

      BOWLING

      Place the bottles in a 1-2-3

      formation. Use a heavier ball, such

      as a basketball, for bowling. Take turns while

      standing at least 10 feet away and rolling the

      ball toward the bottles. Whoever knocks

      down the most bottles wins!

      Activity

      NEON DANCE PARTY

      Turn the white lights down, the black

      lights on, and the music up! But first,

      make sure your guests are decked out in glow

      necklaces and bracelets. Add more fun with a

      neon toy hoop that, with an adult’s help, has

      been sprayed with nontoxic glow-in-the-dark

      craft paint a day or two before the party. Bust

      it out during the dancing for a mesmerizing

      light show!

      Favor

      LIGHT-UP LANTERNS

      These lanterns glow at night. Dot the outside

      of clean plastic jars with glow-in-the-dark

      puffy paint. Let them dry. Fill them with

      inexpensive plastic neon bracelets, glow sticks,

      and hair accessories, and give them as favors.

      The Next Morning

      BRIGHT BREAKFAST

      Neon food coloring can turn a pancake

      stack into a bright sight. Ask a parent to

      prepare pancakes according to package

      directions. Separate the batter into three or

      four bowls, one for each color. Starting with

      three drops of food coloring, stir in enough to

      make each bowl of batter brightly colored.

      Cook the pancakes as directed, and let guests

      choose their favorites.

      SWEET SWAP

      Everyone gets some sweet surprises at this “make and take”!

      Invitation

      The gumball machine may be fake—but the

      gumballs inside are not! Fill a refillable plastic

      ornament with gumballs. (Look for “clear acrylic

      fillable ball ornament” from an online party

      supply store.) Cut a strip of paper, write up the

      party details, and use adhesive dots to attach

      the strip to an upside-down 3-ounce paper cup.

      Attach an adhesive dot to the bottom of the

      ornament, and secure it to the cup.

      Decorations

      GUESS THE GUMBALLS

      Fill a large glass jar with gumballs to make a

      centerpiece. Ask guests to guess how many

      gumballs are inside. They can write their

      guesses (and names) on sticky notes and place

      the notes on top of the jar. Whoever guesses

      closest gets to take the jar home.

      CANDY BALLOONS

      Wrap inflated balloons with colored

      cellophane, found at party supply

      stores. Tie the ends with curling ribbon. Now

      they look like giant pieces of candy! Scatter

      them around the floor, or ask a parent to help

      you attach them to the wall.

      Drink

      SWEET SIPPERS

      What goes great with chocolate? Milk, of

      course! Give all of your guests a glass of milk,

      and have them stir in either chocolate or

      strawberry syrup. Use licorice sticks as straws.
