Race Day Party Activities
Arrange for some speedway socializing
with activities that are sure to please a revved up crowd!
Run a "Pit Stop" relay.
Divide the children into two equal teams at the starting line. You will
need to have 2 sets of identical items (oil can, oily rag, little black
tire, checkered flag, pit stop sign, mini chalk board, etc.) Place the
items in two separate buckets. The children can race to the buckets,
running through a series orange cones (made from poster board), pick up
one "Pit Stop" item, and bring it back to the starting line.
The first team to deliver all the pit stop necessities back to the
starting line wins!
Using plastic
racing helmets, play this racing variation on the
traditional musical chairs game. Have all the children stand in a
circle. Have a pile of Race Helmets in the center of the circle, with
one less hat than there are children. When the music starts, the
children will walk around the circle, not touching the hats. When the
music stops, each child needs to put a hat on. The child left without a
racing helmet needs to step out of the circle. Take one hat out and
continue the game until there is only one person left wearing a
hat!
Using a racecar
or empty oilcan, play this racecar variation on the classic Hot Potato
game. Have players sit in a circle, and quickly pass the car or
"hot engine oil" until the music stops. The player left
holding the car or oil when the music stops is out. Keep the music
revved up until only one player is left.
We offer an awesome
Race
Car Pinata, and we’ve yet to find a child who
doesn’t want to take a swing at one at a party!
A game of Red Light/Green Light played on the racetrack will be a hit
at this NASCAR party.
Race Day Party Food and Cake
A racecar party can be filled with all
things speedy and revved up! The concept of slowing down at a party
long enough to consume food is foreign to all of the children we know!
Most children under the age of 10 will only nibble on food at a
birthday party. With that in mind, we've come up with a few easy ideas
that are sure to please the pickiest of partygoers…and to encourage
them to take time for a "Pit Stop"!
Make a sign reading
"Gasoline Alley" and serve racetrack
"concession" type food: soft pretzels with cheese dip,
nachos, snow cones, hot dogs, and popcorn.
Use metal car shaped cookie
cutters to cut out simple sandwiches. Peanut butter and jelly,
ham and cheese, or bologna…all cut very easily, and hold their
shape. Don't be surprised if a sandwich "race" is part
of the eating process!
Bake and decorate car shaped
cookies or cookies in the shape of road signs.
Name all the food and
beverages to match your theme. Somehow, to children it becomes
much more appetizing! Try "Pit Stop Pizza",
"Speedy Spaghetti", "Racetrack Raisins", or
"Gassed Up Grapes". Serve
dry snacks in well-washed plastic
racing helmets turned upside down.
Serve the beverage of choice
of all racing champions…milk, straight out of individual sized
cartons or Milk Chugtm bottles!
RACE TRACK CAKE:
Bake a rectangular shaped 9" X 13" cake from a
packaged mix. After the cake cools, frost it with green icing for
grass. Create a gray or black racetrack in an oval shape. Pipe
white frosting on top of the track to show the start and finish lines.
Make a grandstand filled with spectators by adding lines of black
writing gel with different colored dots in the lines. Top the cake off
with some Race
Cars on the track. Have enough cars available,
so that each child at the party can have one.
If you are feeling adventurous or are an
accomplished baker, try creating your own stock car! Mini
chocolate Hostesstm donuts make the best vehicle tires!
If you are serving more people than can be accommodated by one boxed
mix, we recommend that you simply bake extra cupcakes, or an extra
rectangular cake. All can just be frosted in matching frosting,
and cut and served behind the scenes.
