For seven years prior to the actual Earth Day grassroots movement, Senator Nelson had tried to gain the proper respect and recognition he felt the environment deserved.</p><p>Beginning in 1962, Nelson purposed to President Kennedy the idea of a national conservation tour, which was an attempt to bring political attention to the needs of the environment, composed of a five day trek covering eleven states to spread environmental awareness. Although this seemed to be what would break into the public’s attention, it did not. It seemed the people were troubled by the environments degradation but the public policy was not following that concern. Earth Day did not come about until six long years later.</p><p>Noticing the interest being captured by the press within the student anti-war movements over the Vietnam War, an idea came to Senator Nelson. Creating an “anti-war movement” but directing the concern to the environment rather than any actual war. The hope was that this demonstration of concern for the environment would generate press and public awareness and in so stimulate the public policy to take action in areas of environmental interest. You can teach your partygoers about Earth Day and have lots of fun by including <a href="http://4favors.com/earth-day/">Earth Day educational party games</a>.<br /></p>Five months prior to the demonstration, the New York Times, ran a lengthy article on the intent of the grassroots movement purposed by Senator Nelson. The response was overwhelmingly supportive of such an expression. Contacts of every kind were coming into the Senators office from every corner of the country. Needless to say, the accumulation of twenty million demonstrators backed by thousands of schools and communities organized and finally grabbed the political attention the environment so rightly deserved. You'll have your partygoers attention when you all play fun <a href="http://partysuppliesshop.com/earth-day/">Earth Day games</a>. It is this day in history that marked the first Earth Day and is an annual observed holiday on America calendars yet todayMrs. Partynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8040285.post-84025292701899309092007-03-05T11:37:00.001-08:002007-03-12T16:29:05.247-07:00Easter Fun Games For Everyone<p>Easter is often considered to be nothing more than a Christian holiday that is celebrated around the world. The Easter holiday marks the resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. The origin of Easter can be traced back to mythology. The name Easter comes from the name of an ancient Greek Goddess of Spring, Eostre. Eostre, it was believed returned to the Earth after a long, cold winter and with her, brought along the light and warmth of Spring. Ancient Greeks celebrated the return of Eostre and spring with pagan festivals. As with many pagan festivals, the date coincided with the equinox on the 21st of March every year. It was important to keep Eostre happy in order to ensure she would return year after year. Therefore the Greeks threw an extravagant feast and celebration. Your Easter celebration can be made very special when you access our <a href="http://party-games-etc.com/easter_party_games.htm">Easter fun games</a> for your guests to play.<br /></p><p>When the holiday became more Christianized, the celebration was no longer about welcoming spring, but instead was based upon the resurrection of Jesus. To sever the ties from paganism even further, the church changed the date of the festival from being held on the spring equinox, but instead it was to be held the first Sunday following the full moon after the vernal equinox (or on the full moon if it happened to fall on the first Sunday). Because the holiday is to be scheduled based upon that of the full moon, the Easter holiday can be celebrated as early as March 22nd or as late as April 25th.</p><p>Symbols that are often associated with Easter and their meanings are:</p><div class="article_body"><li>Easter Eggs represent the new season and the new life of the crops as the world wakes up from the sleep of winter. Scenes like rising sun and northern lights were printed on original Easter Eggs by pagans for their celebration. Christians believe in a legend that said that Mary offered eggs to Roman soldiers in exchange for not killing her son. Eggs are therefore considered a lucky gift to share on Easter.</li><li>Easter Lilies represent the purity of the new life that comes from being resurrected. </li><li>Easter Bunny was originally an Easter Hare. Hares are a symbol of fertility linked to the Greek goddess of fertility - Eostre. Later, as it was more recognized that rabbits were more active reproducers, the bunny replaced the hare. </li><li>Easter chicks represent the rebirth of the earth. </li><p>Today, in modern times, Easter is celebrated not only in the United States but around the world. You will find these symbols used in many of the <a href="http://4favors.com/easter/">fun Easter party games</a> you decide<br />to play. Each symbol and tradition marking a tradition of life, renewal, rebirth, and resurrection, not just for the Christian belief of Christ, but for the rejuvenation of the world as winter is replaced by the warmth of spring.</p></div>Mrs. Partynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8040285.post-51648551012619829512007-03-01T15:29:00.000-08:002007-03-12T16:30:38.913-07:00Nascar Racing Free Party Games<p>Racing fans everywhere will know that Nascar racing is a big deal. Each year stock car racing gets bigger and bigger. This sports event has grown so much since its first race on the Charlotte Speedway in June 19, 1949. There are even sports parties modeled after the Nascar theme. Some have these parties around Nascar time or just on their birthdays. The Nascar name has been around for fifty three years ever since Nascar president Bill France Sr. hit on the idea of racing cars that people could actually drive on the street.</p><p>Nascar has a language all its own and many fans will be familiar with the slang terms used on the track, but those throwing a Nascar themed party may not be familiar with the terms. You can help- them when you access your<a href="http://partysuppliesshop.com/nascar-racing/"> Nascar racing free party games</a>. You might want to think about throwing in few of these words on your banners, and invitations to add the Nascar flavor to your party. When a racecar is in ‘Balance’ that means its not oversteering or understeering but its going around the track as if it’s on rails. The ‘Groove’ is considered to be the best or most efficient way around the track. ‘Happy Hour’ is the term used to refer to the official practice session around the racetrack before the main race.</p><p>You can add some fun to any Nascar party with some interesting trivia and facts games. You'll find many to choose from when you look for your <a href="http://partysuppliesonline.com/nascar-racing/">Nascar racing free party games</a>. Did you know that a yellow strip across the rear of a Nascar driving car signals that there’s a rookie driver behind the wheel? And the closest finish in Nascar history is .002 seconds on March 16, 2003 when Ricky Craven beat Kurt Busch. Make up a few cards with trivia questions on them and have a quick game of Nascar Knowledge before the next big race. Guests are sure to love it.</p>Mrs. Partynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8040285.post-79289172595470442682007-02-28T17:16:00.000-08:002007-03-01T10:24:58.270-08:00Baby Shower Games - Fast and fun<p>Baby shower, huh? Let me get this straight. So, your best friend has just announced she’s pregnant. You stood as her Maid of Honor, you planned her bachelorette party, and now – now you can’t believe that you just offered to give her a baby shower! Relax, in order to throw a great baby shower you don’t really need to know anything about babies. So, in that sense you are in luck. Since most baby showers are held before the baby is born, the shower tends to be more about the party than it is about the baby.</p><p>First of all, figure out a date to plan the baby shower for. In order to best do this, it is a good time to start figuring out the guest list too. You will want to keep in mind that some people may be traveling to participate so plan accordingly. My personal favorite time to schedule a baby shower is about the 7th month or so. The mom is looking fun, perky and pregnant (a prerequisite in my eyes) but isn’t completely tired and uncomfortable – yet. Also, the sex of the child is often known by then so shopping and creating wish lists of things the parents will be needing is easier to create to help the guests select their gifts.</p><p>Selecting invitations and party accessories is as easy as logging on to the site of your favorite party supplier. While you are on there, don't forget to look at the <a href="http://baby-shower-games-etc.com/">baby shower games</a>. They have great selections and prices that will beat most of the discount and superstores in your areas. Themes can be created around invitations or the accessories or you can select your own. One of my favorite baby shower themes is to hold the “A Star is Born” Hollywood style shower. All of the guests are treated as if they have come to a special ceremony for the next star in the walk of fame. I provide a red carpet for their arrival and everything. I video tape each guest as they arrive and interview them as if they were walking on the red carpet to a big premier event. I ask them to provide some words of advice for the new parents to be, etc.</p><p>Games and activities carry either carry on the Hollywood theme. My favorite two to do are:</p><ul> Celebrity match games where you match Hollywood star baby pictures with their current pictures; and,<p>Rewrite the story lines from favorite movies into childrens bed time rhymes (Dr. Seuss style works too!) and see who can guess the movie they are from.</p></ul><p>One favorite game that isn’t Hollywood related, but makes for great footage on your film biography of the day is to select 8 flavors of various baby foods and then have tasting stations where your guests take a small spoonfuls of each and then try to determine what they are. The one who guesses the most correctly wins the game, but the faces the guests will make while tasting some will make for some hilarious moments. Your guests will have the most fun when you include <a href="http://partythemeshop.com/baby-shower/index.htm">baby shower games</a><span style="text-decoration: underline;"></span> at your party.<br /></p><p>Keep your refreshments stress free by keeping them simple. Finger sandwiches, chips and salsa, a slow cooker full of soup and warm breadsticks on the side all make for easy self serving. The important thing is to have plenty of room for the guests to eat, visit, and exchange stories because that is really what a baby shower is all about – reliving old memories while making new ones. Enjoy!</p>Mrs. Partynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8040285.post-46673314888146798302007-02-28T15:11:00.001-08:002007-02-28T17:14:28.986-08:00Bridal Shower Games To Print<p>Bridal showers can have themes, such as kitchen themes, where not only is a kitchen item given, a recipe is given along with it. In a situation where kitchen items are not needed, a recipe AND the ingredients needed for the dish are a perfect gift.</p><p>Another potential bridal shower theme is a lingerie party. Have fun learning how to play as you access our <a href="http://bridal-showergames.com/">bridal shower games to print</a>. These showers provide the perfect atmosphere for laughter and often raucous fun! You can spice this up or make it light hearted and fun. A bridal shower should be a fun time, so make this a fun part of the shower. Giving her gifts that will be well enjoyed later will be much appreciated by the bride and the groom, of course! It doesn't have to be distasteful, either!</p><p>One particularly fun bridal shower game is the “Bag game” where everyone is given a paper bag to put on their heads. Music is played, and when it stops, each person is required to remove something they are wearing that they don’t really need. The game gets funnier and funnier, until everyone finally realizes that the article they really don’t need is the bag on their head!</p><p>Wedding dress games are often very entertaining! Have several rolls of white toilet paper, and divide the guests into two or more groups of three to five people. Each group then chooses a model (mother of the bride and/or groom work wonderfully) and instruct each team to design and fashion a "wedding dress" out of toilet paper. Accessories are allowed (earrings, bouquets, trains, headpieces, wedding ring, etc.), but they all have to be constructed from toilet paper. Once the groups are finished, the bride gets to judge and choose the winner of the contest. Just don’t forget the camera, because the photos will be tremendous fun! This is only one of many games you can participate in when you check out our <a href="http://partysupplieshut.com/bridal-shower/bridal-shower-theme-party.htm">bridal shower games to print</a>.<br /></p>Mrs. Partynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8040285.post-61270368706377962232007-02-28T10:54:00.000-08:002007-03-05T13:25:31.301-08:00St. Patricks Day Party Games<p>The Irish aren't much like the people that Irish Americans pretend to be on St Patricks Day. But please don't take our stereotypes away. We love them so.</p><p>Descendents of those who immigrated during the Irish potato famines of the 18th and 19th century generally only have St Patricks Day to remind them of those long ago ancestral ties. We may not have any real understanding of the country at all. Still we must beg pardon of the modern Irish citizenry and continue our traditions.</p><p>So with tongue in cheek every American who likes a mid-March excuse to celebrate professes to be partly of Irish ancestry. We wear green and don't know why. We may live in communities that dye their rivers green or present bar patrons with green beer. Restaurants serve corned beef and cabbage amid leprechaun decorations or plastic pots-of-gold. This is a difficult dish to prepare: eat out!</p><p>School children enjoy cupcakes of any flavor with green icing. Other snacks may be potato chips or potato sticks. Parties for St Patricks Day are sure to be decorated with green and white twisted streamers and four leaf clovers. Paper party goods are the only option for children's parties but some adult dinners feature Irish linen and good china. While you're planning your dinner party, don't forget to think of some fun <a href="http://partythemeshop.com/st-patricks-day/">St. Patricks Day party games</a>.<br /></p><p>Hosting a dinner or party for any age group will be more politically correct when attention is given to actual cultural images. Celtic historical crafts and Gaelic lettered items as well as Celtic music will lend more accuracy. Folk dance or DVD's of popular dance could be offered for entertainment. You'll have fun playing the green egg toss as part of your <a href="http://party-games-etc.com/printable-holiday-games.htm">St. Patricks Day party games</a>. More sophisticated guests might enjoy readings from the poetry of Ireland which is rich and varied.</p><p>Most of us will descend into the habit of bad Irish accents and excessive imbibing. It is the American way. Don't drink and drive.</p>Mrs. Partynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8040285.post-1169508589987216282007-01-22T15:26:00.000-08:002007-01-23T09:37:10.323-08:00Presidents' Day Game GaloreCongress declared that in order to honor all past presidents of the United States, a single holiday, to be called Presidents' Day, would be observed on the third Monday in February. To many this is a day off and a chance for a three day weekend of skiing. A Presidents' Day party should have <a href="http://4favors.com/presidents-day/">Presidents' Day games</a> to play. This game of bluff allows everyone to tell a stories in turn. As the tale-teller finishes his/her telling of the story all the players express their opinion in turn: true or fabricated. The players who are correct in their guesses receive a toothpick. The tale-tellers take their turns around the circle. As every player has told the story, the players count the toothpicks. The person with the most tooth picks wins!<br /><br />Another <a href="http://partysuppliesshop.com/presidents-day/">Presidents' Day party game</a> is like no other game you have played before.

Pass out plastic spoons, paper plates, and paper and pencil for each player. Ask players to write the numbers 1 through 8 around the outside of the plate. Pass around each jar of baby food and have players drop a spoonful next to each number. They must taste the globs and try to identify each flavor. Remove the foil to reveal the answers.

The festival marked the annual planting of the fields. Houses are cleaned from top to bottom in order to insure that all bad luck of the previous year is swept out the door and away from the occupants. An exchange of greetings and gifts is performed between family members and neighbors. Offerings of foods, burning incense, and other gifts are made to ancestors who have passed from this life.

Every Mardi Gras party should have at least one <a href="http://mardi-gras-fun.com/games/birdsfly.htm">Mardi Gras game</a> to play, if not many. This free Mardi Gras' Alphabet game is an educational and fun game for the children to enjoy. In this games a large boxful of letters should be provided, which can be purchased at any toy store or made by the young people themselves by cutting letters out of newspapers. The children should seat themselves around the table; the letters should then be well shuffled and dealt to the players. Each child has to form a word or sentence out of the letters which he has received. Another variation is to select a long word, and then in a given time to try to form several words from it such as names of well-known people, places, etc., can also be given.

When the last couple has returned to their team from across the room, that team is the winning team.<br /><br />Another Chinese New Year game is called Ring the New Year's Bell. This game is played by placing a bell on a chair. A person is blindfolded. The person walks 10 steps forward. The one who can ring the bell first is the winner.Mrs. Partynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8040285.post-1167251730905911852006-12-27T12:03:00.000-08:002006-12-27T12:58:38.936-08:00The Valentine Love Games<span style=";font-family:bookman old style;font-size:100%;" >In this <a href="http://partysupplieshut.com/valentines-day/valentines-day-party-games.htm">Valentine game</a> here is your big chance to play cupid and throw the arrows of love.

This Super Bowl game goes hand in hand with that. Go through several magazines and cut out advertisement symbols (i.e. the 7up dot, but not the word 7up). Try using sports minded products to tie together with the football theme. Paste each on the white side of a 3x5 card. Hand out blank answer sheets to each player or team. Have everyone go around the room with an answer sheet and try to identify as many of the symbols as possible. The person (or team) who guesses the most correctly wins. A football themed party favor is fitting for the game winner.<br /><br />Another fun and simple <a href="http://4favors.com/super-bowl/super-bowl-party-ideas-games.htm">Super Bowl game</a> to play is give each guest a pen and paper and see how many words each person can get out of the phrase "Super Bowl Half Time."<br /></span>Mrs. Partynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8040285.post-1166560065737952832006-12-19T11:47:00.000-08:002006-12-19T12:27:48.390-08:00Free Holiday Party GamesWho doesn't like to recieve gifts?
