Smurftastic Activities
Now for the fun part – the games! Here are some ideas to keep your little Smurfs entertained:
- Smurf Says: Put a Smurfs twist on the classic game of Simon Says. Instead of instructions, have the birthday child act out something a Smurf would do, like picking Smurfberries or hiding from Gargamel.
- Pin the Smurf Hat on Papa Smurf: This is a classic party game that’s easy to adapt with a Smurfs theme.
- Smurf Obstacle Course: Create an obstacle course using blankets, pillows, and chairs. The kids can pretend they’re Smurfs running through the forest to escape Gargamel.
- Smurf Face Painting: Get creative with face paint! Let the kids choose their favorite Smurf character to be transformed into.
- Smurfs Scavenger Hunt: Hide Smurf-themed toys or treats around the house or backyard and have the kids work together to find them.
