Our Jungle themed party is designed to immerse the children in a jungle adventure as we learn all about the animals who live there and celebrate their wonderful jungle lives before adopting a beautiful soft animal to take home!
We begin by talking about different kinds of animals and their homes and habitats, which leads us to our animal sorting game where we match all of our miniature animals from all over the world to their environments. The children will take turns selecting an animal from the bag, do an impression of that animal and then put it into the correct environment box – woodland, farmyard, ocean, jungle or home! This is great fun as the children all get their chance to do different impressions and learn about new animals and their sounds! Once we’ve sorted the animals we discuss the jungle environment and the children will be told that we’ll be adopting a jungle animal once we’ve learned all about how they live!
We then move onto our jungle animal moves game where we name all the jungle animals and choose a jungle animal headband. We turn up the music and dance like that animal until the music stops and we swap to a different one! After we’ve done a few changes the children will then be invited to come deep into the jungle by limboing under the jungle vines. Once we arrive into the deepest jungle we’ll do some group impressions such as roaring like a lion, slithering like a snake and doing a monkey dance together so the animals who live there think we’re part of their world and not children on an adventure!
It’s then onto our camouflage tree dance where the children do their best dancing, however when the music stops they must hide behind something or pretend to be a tree in order to camouflage with the jungle surroundings! We then go to pick the fruit to share with our jungle friends, however the naughty tiger has stolen it all and is trying to run away with it! We must chase him and pull his tail so he drops it and we can share it with all of the different jungle animals. At this point it’s time to cross the swamp and deliver some fruit to the animals on the other side. Mr Crocodile has told us we can only cross when it’s not dinner time, so we must ask him what time it is and we can jump over the swamp. We have to make a few journeys and while most are safe, it does get to dinner time before we know it and we have to run away from Mr Crocodile who tries to bite our bums!
After we escape from Mr Crocodile there are just two more things to do before we meet our very own animals; feeding the elephants their medicine and going on a lion hunt. We push magic medicine peanuts across to the elephants using our noses to blend in and then we get our binoculars on to go on a lion hunt and make sure the baby lions are still safe in their cave.
Once we’ve shown how brave we are and checked on the baby lions we then sit in a circle for a very special pass the parcel. The children will all open the parcel and inside will be a themed gift, a treat and a number matching them to one of our beautiful animals who are hoping to be adopted. When all of the children have been matched with their potential friend they are welcome to swap if they feel a connection to another before we move onto our animal health checks with our medical sets and discussions on how best to take care of our pets. Once we’ve checked our new pets are ready for adoption the children will sit down with some snacks and we’ll read a themed book together. Following this the children will pledge to read to their new pet every night and we’ll have a dance together to celebrate our beautiful animals being adopted!
We then move over to our craft station where the children will make a collar for their new pet. They’ll choose some ribbon, beads, a bell and a tag and they’ll spend some time crafting the collar while they think of a name for their new pet. Once this is done we’ll write their names on the adoption certificate and have an adoption ceremony, followed by group pictures, happy birthday and then individual photos including with their grownups if wanted.
Our adopt a pet parties are 2 hour luxury experiences for 6-12 children that bring together an immersive themed magical animal adventure party with a gorgeous, wholesome crafting and adoption element that makes your little one’s special day extra special!
As with all of our parties you’ll get a beautiful themed backdrop, non stop themed party entertainment with lots of immersive games, activities and props, themed music (and the option to add your child’s favourite songs onto the playlist to make their day perfect), tattoos, stickers, pass the parcel gift/treat, plus a magical photoshoot including group, individual and family photos. We always have a call the week of the party to go through all of the details too, so there’s no stress and you can relax knowing the only things you need to sort are the venue (we can sort this for you too if you’d like), the cake and some food, if you choose to feed the children!
