Reasons Elf on the Shelf Didn’t Move

We have a long list of reasons Elf on the Shelf didn’t move. Was Elf on the Shelf under the weather? Was bad behavior recognized? Was magic lost from touch?

For our Rx prescriptions, these are the reasons supplied.

Behavioral Warnings:

Broken Leg: No moving for two days. Elf tripped on your stuff. Clean up!

For this Elf prescription, consider unique Elf on the Shelf crutches ideas and grab this pair of miniature doll crutches.

Magic Lost: No moving for one day. Don’t touch elf!

If Elf was touched by mistake or even fell, don’t forget our magic elf grippers!

Cute Elf Idea:

Reindeer Flu: Stay put for two days.

Step it up! If you are really creative, use our reindeer costume. Perhaps dressing as as reindeer gives Elf reindeer flu! See our other Elf on the Shelf Reindeer Ideas!

This makes your life easier because it gives your children a warning, provides a creative elf idea, and/or allows all to rest from the anxiety of “where is Elf now” or “what should I do with Elf!?”

The Elf has been found in the refrigerator, fishing in the toilet, writing messages on the mirror or hanging from the lights. It is VERY IMPORTANT, the Elf is not touch each evening or his Christmas magic will be lost! Each family is able to name their special elf.

Non Board. Not bored!

Press Conference

How to Play: Press conference is a unique party game for adults that can be played with any size group, with hilarious results. One guest holds a press conference, and the other guests get to ask them questions. Have that person leave the room. Everyone else decides on a character that this person will be in the “Press Conference.” (You could have a bowl of characters or decide together). The person holding the press conference answers the question, but the twist here is that they have no idea who they are supposed to be but the other guests do. The person has to try and figure out who they are from the questions that are asked by the group (while answering those questions!) For example, if Jim went out of the room and we chose for him to be Bugs Bunny, we could ask “How many carrots do you eat a day?” “What fuel do you use for your sleigh?” “How do you hide from Elmer Fudd?” “Do you feel very old?” “Who is your favorite Looney Tune?”

Supplies: None

Chocolate Game

Supplies: Wrapped chocolate bar, oven mitts, hat, scarf, a knife, fork, dice

How to Play: This game is hilarious for an adult party, and you only need a few items to play. You need a wrapped chocolate bar, some oven mitts, a hat, a scarf, a knife, a fork, and a single dice. Going around a circle, each person gets a chance to roll the dice trying to get a six. When a player rolls a six they will put on the hat, scarf, and mitts and attempt to cut the chocolate with the knife and fork. Their turn ends when another player rolls a six when it will be their turn to take over. The game is over when all of the chocolate is gone!

Story Starters

How to Play: This party game for adults works best in groups of 4 to 6 people so if you have a large gathering, break your number of players up into groups. The idea is to give each group a piece of paper with a story starting sentence, and then have each person add one sentence to the story. You never know what kind of hilarious story you will end up with at the end.

Some story starting sentences you might use include:

“Once upon a time, I…”
“The dumbest thing I ever did was…”
“My perfect vacation would be…”
“My favorite place to visit was…”
“The dumbest thing I ever did was…”
“If I could be anything it would be…”
“The craziest thing I have ever done is…”
“If my life were a book, I would title it…”

Supplies: Paper, pen, pencil

Don’t Say Yes

How to Play: This is one of the best games for an adult party, you have probably heard of the game Taboo, and this is similar. Your guests aren’t allowed to say “yes” or any variation of it (yeah, fine, sure, etc.) when answering questions or in conversation. Anytime the word “yes” is used the guest gets a sticker. Whoever has the most stickers at the end of the night is the loser. Win or lose it’s hilarious to see people try to have conversations without the words “yes.”

Supplies: Stickers

Bag of Bad News

How to Play: In this funny drinking game for adults, you will get a bunch of miniature bottles of alcohol. The size you find on airplanes. Number the bottles in a multiple number of party guests. For example, you can have bottles numbered 1 to 30 for 10 guests. In this example, each player would pick 3 numbers for a deck of handwritten cards numbered 1 to 30. Then they are assigned the bottles that correspond with the numbers. The goal is for them to drink that bottle during the party. No real winner but this activity has as a drinking icebreaker game. Drink responsibly.

Supplies: Numbered miniature airplane bottles of liquor, numbered cards, bag

Spoons

How to Play: In this card game, have one less spoon then players in the center of a circle. The goal is for each player to get four cards of a kind. All contestants have four cards to start. The dealer takes a card off the top of the deck to have five cards in their hand, removes one and passes it face down to the left. Each player discards to the person on their left. Cards are picked up and placed down quickly. When one player gets four of a kind, they grab a spoon then all other players must grab a spoon too. The player left without a spoon gets a letter. First person to spell S-P-O-O-N is out and has to eat a yucky thing on the spoon.

Supplies: Spoons, deck of cards

Pictionary

How to Play: Pictionary is a fun drawing game for a small party of mixed ages. Best of all, drawing abilities don’t have to count for this game and in fact, the worse someone draws, the more hilarious the game becomes. Split players into teams. Team members must guess what their teammate is drawing on the large paper. If they guess the correct answer in the assigned time, they get a point. The winning team has the most points at the end of the game.

Supplies: Large paper, dry erase board, poster, dry erase markers, paper, pen, timer

Never Have I Ever

How to Play: This icebreaker game is a great way to get to know each other—really fast. All players sit in a circle and hold up 10 fingers. One at a time, players go around and say the phrase “Never have I ever…” completing the sentence with something they have not done. Anyone who has done the activity mentioned in the “Never have I ever . . .” statement, puts one finger down. As players put down all their fingers, they are eliminated from the game. Last person standing wins. The winner of the game is the last remaining player with a finger raised.

Supplies: None

Prosecco Pong

How to Play: This drinking game is played like beer pong, only classier, with Prosecco. Poor a bit of Prosecco in 12 plastic wine glasses. Six glasses in a triangle shape on opposite sides of a table. Each team takes turn throwing a ping-pong ball into the other team’s cups. Once a ball lands in a cup, the cup is taken away and the opponent then drinks the contents of the cup. If both teammates hit cups, the balls are rolled back and they get to shoot again. There is no looser.

Supplies: Plastic wine glasses, ping-pong balls, table

Truth or Dare

How to Play: Play the traditional game of truth or dare or add this fun twist to make a classics kids game into an adult truth or dare game challenge. In this unique game, separate your players into teams or groups. How brave are your players? Have each player blindly pick dare (or truth). If that player completes the dare , the team gets three points. If one of their teammates completed the dare, they get one point. The group that completes the most dares by the end of the reception is the winner.

Supplies: Paper, pens, pencils

Name that Tune

How to Play: Before the party, make a playlist of songs. These can be themed songs (for example, if it is Christmas have Christmas songs.) Give each guest a piece of paper and a pencil. Play one song at a time for 30 seconds. Have everyone write down the name of the song (or the next line of the song). The person with the most correct wins.

Supplies: Paper, pencil, pen

Cereal Box Game

How to Play: Also known as Bite the Bag game. This is a hilariously funny game gets worse as the night goes on. Place an empty cereal box on the floor. A player must reach down and pick it up with their mouth. The only thing that is allowed to touch the floor is your feet (no hands, no knees) and the only thing that is allowed to touch the box is your mouth. After every round, cut off an inch from the top of the box and play again. This game is like limbo in reverse. How low can you go?

Supplies: Cereal box, scissors

Two Truths and a Lie

How to Play: This ice breaker game is a great getting to know you game for early in the night. Pick 3 statements to tell about yourself. Example: “I have two siblings, I’ve been to three continents, and I love cats.” Two should be true; one should be a lie. Everyone else must guess which is the lie. If you’re playing with family or friends, pick obscure details to try to trick each other to make it even more fun.

Supplies: None

Charades

How to Play: On cards (or paper or sticky notes), write down nouns (person, place or thing). Keep the noun Charades ideas in the topic of the age group or the theme of the season. In this classic game, split teams in two. Stack the cards or place them all in a bowl. One person acts out what’s on the card. Each team guesses what the player on their is acting out. Team that guesses the most correctly, wins.

Supplies: Paper, pencil, pen

Straight Face

How to Play: We hope you have a sense of humor but can keep a straight face. The funny game begins with each player writing down one sentence on a piece of paper, crumpling, and piling it at the center of the group. What kind of sentences? Ones that are ridiculous, awkward, hilarious or inappropriate; ones that anyone would struggle to read (or hear) while keeping a straight face. One at a time, each player will choose a slip of paper and attempt to read whatever is written on it without giggling or cracking a smile. If they fail, they are out (or take a shot or eat a yucky concoction.) Careful, laughter included.

Supplies: Paper, pen or pencils

React and Act

How to Play: Pass out sheets of paper and pens to the players. Have each person write an event. Tell them to be creative! Examples of events can include: Being surprised by a large, aggressive bear in the woods. You just won the lottery. You have just been proposed for marriage with a ring. You just got fired. You made a touch down at the Superbowl. You just fell in love. Once everyone writes an event, fold the paper once and place it into the bag. Divide the group into teams no larger than 5 people. During their turn, a team each gets a different action drawn from the bag. For thirty seconds they must act out their action. After time expires, the other members of the team try to guess what each persons action was. A point is awarded for each correct guess.

Supplies: Paper, pens, pencils

Fishbowl Game

How to Play: This game has many names. Also known as Celebrity, The Name Game, or Salad Bowl. Similar to Charades and Taboo. The rules change each round. First, have a list of nouns and/or phrases written on cards. These will be used for the rounds. Split teams in two. Round 1: Taboo. Use words to describe the word or phrase on the card, without any acting or gestures. You cannot use any part of the word or phrase! Round 2: Charades. Without words or sounds, act and use gestures to communicate the word or phrase on the card. Round 3: Password. You can say exactly one word to describe the word or phrase on the card, no more! You’ll rely on your team’s ability to use association. The team that guesses the most cards across all rounds wins!

Supplies: Paper, pencil, pen

Twenty Questions

How to Play: One player, the answerer, picks an object. This can be something in the room or something obscure. All other players ask the answerer “Yes” or “No” questions to guess what the object is. If no one guesses correctly after 20 questions, the answerer has won and picks a new object for the next round. If someone guesses correctly they get to pick the object for the next round.

Supplies: None

The (No-So) Newlywed Game

How to Play: In this fun couple game, the challenge is to see what couple knows the other person best. It’s played just like the Newlywed Game but this way couples who have been together for any length of time can take part in the fun. Prepare with a list of questions that take you through dating, engagement and the wedding, firsts, friends, and family, favorites, best and worst, finances, preferences, making love, fun facts, love and marriage, and the future. There’s even a category just for the funniest questions.

Supplies: Paper, pencils, pens

I’m Going to a Bar

How to Play: Just like the kid game “I’m Going on a Picnic.” The first person begins by saying, “I’m going to the bar and I need to get a mojito” (or any other alcoholic beverage). After that, the next player repeats the drink that the previous player(s) said… but adds another drink to the list, as well. Game continues with each person adding a drink to the list. You are out if you mess up the order of drinks. Last person standing is the winner.

Supplies: None

Donuts & Cocktail Sticks

How to Play: This perfect game is a bit silly, a bit close. It is similar to pass the orange. Split teams in two. Create a line. Hand your players a cocktail stick, which they’re to put in their mouth. The first player now puts a donut on their cocktail stick and has to pass it onto the next teammate without it falling. No hands. Keep passing along the line. The last player who gets the donut, drops it in a bucket. Any donuts dropped during the passing, go back to the beginning of the line. Team who passes the most donuts at the end of time, wins.

Supplies: Donuts, cocktail sticks

These games are so much fun! Not only are they easy to implement, they are low-cost allowing you to focus your budget on other party details and party ideas.

Rapunzel is a really popular princess, thanks to the Tangled movies, so these Rapunzel cupcakes could be perfect for your little princess. We love the bold colors of the purple icing with the yellow “hair” trailing down the side of the cupcake. And you can use a boxed cake mix and store-bought frosting for these, making them easier to prepare than you’d think. | Well If She Can Do It

Indulge your sweet tooth with these pretty pastel strawberry-filled cupcakes. It’s a vanilla cupcake recipe, and they’re filled with strawberry jam. This recipe makes a small batch of only seven cupcakes, so if you’re planning on lots of party guests, make sure to triple the recipe. Add a fun gum ball for sweet treat cake toppers. | Amanda Wilens

How about some strawberry cupcakes that are full of real strawberry pieces throughout? They’re topped with a pink swirled vanilla frosting and a large pink gumball on top to complete the look. | Cookie Dough and Oven Mitt

Speaking of tea, you’ll need some finger sandwiches for the affair. Since they’re served cold or at room temperature, you don’t have to worry about keeping them warm or reheating! | Aleka’s Get Together

Are you going for a Cinderella theme? If so, these magical pumpkin piñatas are an absolute must. They’re filled with lots of fun candy inside and will delight all the little princesses at your party. | Cookie Dough and Oven Mitt

Try foods themed after all the Disney princesses! There are many ideas here, like Anna’s sandwiches in the shape of crowns using a Princess Crown Cookie Cutter. Also try fairy bread in honor of Cinderella’s godmother, Tiana’s lemon frog cake, and more. | Play Party Plan

Belle’s grey stuff is super popular at the Disney parks, but you can easily make it at home for your princess party! It’s basically Oreo pudding. Adding the sugar pearls to each dollop of pudding makes it look extra fancy. | Lil Luna

These Beauty and the Beast Oreos are almost too pretty to eat. Almost. The Oreos are covered in yellow chocolate melts and topped with white icing and sugared red roses. They’ll look gorgeous on the dessert table. | Mommy Musings

Princess Party Décor

To make a significant visual impact for just a few dollars, try this plastic tablecloth backdrop in different shades of pink.

A princess party theme needs an amazing crown or tiaras. You’ll be amazed at all the beautiful ideas in this post from Dinner at the Zoo, but one of our favorites was having the flower crowns for girls and gold crowns for boys so that everyone got something to sit atop their head, just like real princesses and princes. Other ideas that we loved were the jewelry selection station (with beaded and candy jewelry available) and the face painting station. | Dinner at the Zoo

Want a fun princess themed birthday party favor? Make batches of fairy slime to give to the princesses in attendance! Parents will appreciate that there’s no food coloring so that it won’t stain kids’ hands. It’s still lovely and sparkly, though. | The Best Ideas for Kids

For slime fanatics, this princess slime is another excellent choice. It’s made with only three ingredients and is pink and sparkly. What more could you ask for? Put in little jars with a ribbon tied around, and you’re all set. | Simple Everyday Mom

How fun is this pink princess cake mix playdough? It’s perfect if you’re throwing a party for toddlers or preschoolers. However, if you want to make this taste-safe, you’ll need to use edible glitter instead of real glitter. | Crayons and Cravings

It’s super easy to change out the hair and skin color, too, just by changing out the color of craft paper. | Ottawa Mommy Club

No princess can be without her crown. Every little girl will enjoy making paper crowns as a great way to kick off the party. You’ll need some yellow or gold construction paper or scrapbook paper and lots of pretty stick-on jewels. | The Craft at Home Family

A proper princess needs a wand! Making paper leaf wands can be a super fun craft for the kids, especially if they gather their own sticks, get to choose their ribbon colors, etc. Of course, if you don’t have time for an extended craft, you could always reassemble them or at least prepare all the materials beforehand. | Barley and Birch

Here’s another princess papercraft that’s super easy to set up and make. If Snow White is one of your child’s favorites, they’ll love this craft! It looks just like her, doesn’t it? | Ottawa Mommy Club

Daniel Tiger Birthday Ideas

Daniel Tiger Birthday Cakes

This two-layer birthday cake with Daniel Tiger on the top layer and the neighborhood on the bottom is super cute, but the blue Tigey smash cake is so precious! Tigey is Daniel Tiger’s plush toy, and he’s the perfect subject for a smash cake for 1-year-olds. | Brite & Bubbly

The trolley topper on this two-layer neighborhood cake is a cute little keepsake for parents to add to the scrapbook or memory box. If this is a first birthday, make your little tiger his own smash cake. | Making Memories with My Minis

You don’t have to be a pro cake decorator to work with fondant. Follow the instructions in this YouTube video to make the adorable cake you see here. It’s easier than you think! You can even make these adorable tigers into cupcakes. | Mama Needs a Manual

We love the simplicity of the design on this blue two-layer Daniel Tiger cake with a trolley and figurine on top. | Catch My Party

Daniel Tiger’s bungalow makes a great cake, too! This two-tiered cake has the bungalow on top and the neighborhood (with the trolley) on the bottom. Isn’t that adorable? | Patty Cakes Bakery

Daniel Tiger Birthday Party Foods

Prep a bunch of these castle sandwiches before the party. They look like Prince Wednesday’s castle! | Creative Kid Snacks

Tiger Tails are a popular snack for tiger-themed parties, and they’re super simple to make. Just dip pretzel rods in orange candy melts, and when that is set, drizzle with black candy melts to create the tiger effect. | Chelsey’s Messy Apron

Marshmallow tiger tails are another option. Skewer marshmallows, and follow the same steps to coat them into orange candle melts and drizzle with black. These are just like the Tigger tails snacks at Disneyland! | Jamonkey

The Daniel Tiger stand-up cookies spelling the child’s name is so cute. It really makes the dessert table pop, although everything looks beautiful and delicious. Even if you’re not much of a baker or cookie decorator yourself, you could recreate these with simple letter cookies and sugar cookie icing, with a cardstock version of the characters “attached” to the cookie with a little frosting. | Brite & Bubbly

Cheetos Paws make the perfect tiger party snack! Other orange or striped foods like Zebra cakes, cheddar popcorn, etc. are also great choices for party foods. | Fab Everyday

Tiger cake pops are an easy treat to make. Just use your favorite cake ball recipe, and instead of dipping them in the usual chocolate, dip them in orange candy melts instead and then drizzle with black candy melts. | Lark and Lola

Make Tiger-tastic Jello cups for the kids. These are so cute! All you need are orange Jello cups, some googly eyes, and a maker to draw the faces. | Pichea Place

Mandarin orange tiger cups are another easy and fun option. | Patty Cakes Bakery

Want another sweet treat to add to your dessert table? Make these O the Owl Rice Krispie Treat Pops! They’d also make great party favors… just pop a cellophane bag over each one, tie with a ribbon, and you’re all set. | Spot of Tea Designs

Tiger cookies—Oreo cookies dipped in orange or black candy melts—are super simple. | Lark and Lola

Use patterned duct tape as water bottle labels instead of paper ones. The tape stays put, even in ice. And although the tape is technically zebra patterned, it could also be white tiger patterned! Anything with stripes will work for a tiger party. | Fab Everyday

Daniel Tiger Birthday Party Decor

Put up a welcome sign on your door using this free printable. The colorful garland draping the photo frame adds to the look. | Child at Heart

Make your own DIY tassel garlands to add pops of color throughout your home or venue for the party. You can always save them and reuse them for future parties! | Mama Needs a Manual

All of the decor at this party looks completely amazing, but one thing that stood out to us was the balloon table centerpiece. What a clever idea. In fact, all of the balloon installations at the party are grrr-ific, with foil Daniel Tigers and gold #1 balloons popping out everywhere. | Brite & Bubbly

Set up a gorgeous backdrop for your tables or for taking photos using black and orange streamers, pom pom, and balloons. You don’t even have to buy tiger print balloons; inexpensive orange ones will work just fine. Simply use a flat-tipped Sharpie to draw stripes on them. | Fab Everyday

The free Daniel Tiger printables at PBS Kids are super helpful for making Daniel Tiger party decorations, like this cute character banner. | Child at Heart

Use chalkboards to add decor to your party, just add Daniel Tiger quotes. This a great idea because you can always use the chalkboards again, whereas signs and banners typically get thrown out. Here, you’ll find a few different chalkboard themes for a Daniel Tiger birthday. | Mama Needs a Manual

These large Daniel Tiger character cutouts not only provide decoration for the party, but it’s a fun photo op for the kids to take their picture beside all the characters. It’s especially cute for toddlers who are about the same size as the characters! | Oh Happy Play

We love this cute Bungalow cookie jar idea. It looks like it’s made of brown pipe cleaners glued onto a bowl, so you can do this yourself with any container you have. | Kickin’ It With Kim

Daniel Tiger Birthday Party Favors

Small favor bags with the characters on the front are super cute! You can recreate these on the cheap, though, using bags from the Dollar Tree and printouts of the characters that you make at home. | Making Memories with My Minis

Instead of party hats, provide Prince Wednesday’s crowns for the kid guests to wear at the party or take home as a souvenir. You can make these yourself, so it’s a great inexpensive party favor. | Catch My Party

Create inexpensive tiger-themed favor bags with things like mini basketballs, orange slinkies, toy tigers, orange friendship bracelets, orange and black lollipops, etc. Anything orange and black will work for the bags! | No Biggie

Every kid party needs some Daniel Tiger noisemakers to blow after the birthday song! Add a Daniel Tiger Quote sign that reads “Music Man Stan’s Horn Shop” to continue the Daniel Tiger theme. | Catch My Party

Daniel Tiger Birthday Party Crafts & Activities for Kids

Face painting would be a huge hit at a Daniel Tiger birthday party. If you can’t hire someone to do this for you, you could do a relatively simple version of some whiskers and a nose. | Fab Everyday

So much to do, So much to see

Ride the little ones around in style at the birthday party in your own DIY Daniel Tiger Trolley. It would be such a cute photo op for the birthday boy or girl and their guests. | Wholesale Halloween Costumes

Won’t you ride along with me?

This tiger paper plate craft would make a fun activity for the kids to do at the party. You can cut down on the crafting time a bit (as well as the mess) by providing orange paper plates instead of painting white ones. Pre-cutting stripes, as well as the nose and mouth, will also save time. | No Time for Flash Cards

For another simple craft idea, try this tiger paper bag puppet. You can have orange bags ready and pre-cut all the pieces before the party. Put the pre-cut pieces for each tiger puppet in an individual baggy along with a glue stick so you can distribute them easily to each child at the party. Kids could also take these home to assemble them if you don’t have enough time at the party to complete a craft. | Arty Crafty Kids

It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood, a beautiful day for a neighbor
In Daniel Tiger’s neighborhood!

We hope you have a tiger-rific party!

This is great for getting the kids clean before they climb back into your car!
