Dinosaur party games and activities are the perfect way to keep your little ones entertained during your next dinosaur themed party. Dinosaur themed party games seem to bring a lot of joy to kids, so it only makes sense that you would choose this type of theme.

And, with so many great dino themed party games and activities to choose from, you’re sure to find the perfect ones for your party. Check out these fun dinosaur party games and more!

How do you host a dinosaur party?

Planning a Fun Dinosaur Party can be intimidating. First of all, the dinosaurs are prehistoric so there isn’t much interms of reference. Second, we all know parties can be costly. I am here to show you how to create a frugal dinosaur birthday party, especially when it comes to the entertainment aka party activities.

If you’re looking for some fun and unique ideas for your dinosaur themed party, then you’ve come to the right place. Here are some great tips to get you started:

Choose a Catchy Name for Your Party

This can be something like “Jurassic Party” or “Dino-Mite Party”. Use fun words like party-saurus, dino-mite, or roar-tastic. Make sure to use catch phrases like “stomp, chomp and roar!”

Make sure to great your guests with very formal names like paleontologists or archeologist. Using these formal titles make you look like a smart, educated and proper party planner. You might even offer your guests paleontologists vests and hats so that the scientific title really sticks.

Pick a Fun Invitation

Your invitation should be eye-catching and inviting. You can even find some great dinosaur party invitations online. While prehistoric snail mail printable dinosaur invitations are always fun, I find the digital dinosaur invitations to be a great option for the 21st century. You could even grab a personalized dinosaur invite where your child is riding on a T-rex… so unsafe! What will they think of next?

Dinosaur Themed Snacks

You can get really creative with your snacks and have a lot of fun with them. You can have things like “dinosaur bones” (pretzel sticks), “dinosaur eggs” (deviled eggs), or even “dinosaur poop” (chocolate pudding).

Try dino party food ideas like…

Cheeseballs can be meteorites
Bugles can be dinosaur claws or toe nails (… gross!)
A veggie tray can be a herbivore tray
Tiny sandwiches can be dino-wiches (… duh!)
Guacamole dip can be a swap while the accompanying chips are dinosaur scales.
The dessert table can be sweetivores.
The chicken nuggets can be Carnivore station (did you know they make dinosaur chicken nuggets?)
Blue punch can be a juice lagoon.
A dirty cup of pudding and mashed OREOs can be prehistoric dirt.
Sugar cookies with dinosaur footprints imprints can be fossil cookies.

It really easy to make common food into dinosaur birthday party themed snacks and recipes that you want to sink your teeth into. See more dinosaur party food ideas in our dino party.

Dinosaur Party Favor Ideas

Don’t forget the party favors! You can send your guests home with some fun dinosaur-themed favors, such as dinosaur stickers, erasers, pencils, tattoos, and candy! Gift these in a cute little bucket.

If you are short on a budget, use some of your dinosaur party décor as potential party favors. This can include the paleontologists vests and hats or tell your guests to “adopt a dinosaur” on the way out. That means they can pick up one of the precious plastic toy dinosaurs that are displayed around the room.

What are some good games to play at a dinosaur party?

Kids part entertainment can be expensive. With just a little planning, it’s possible to have a roar-tastic, amazing birthday party for a low-cost. These budget-friendly dinosaur themed party games are just want you need to plan your next Dinosaur Birthday Party. They include 11 tried and true really fun dinosaur themed birthday party games.

Now, onto the fun part – the games! Using these dinosaur party games printable you can plan a really fun game! Print out the printable and use it to plan the best party ever. All of these games and more are listed on the printable!

Dinosaur Egg Hatch

Blow up balloons and fill them with prizes. Hide them around the house or yard for the kids to find. Once they find the eggs, separate them into teams, and from there you see who can crack all of the eggs first.

How to play: Blow up a lot of white balloons for the dino eggs, filling them with tiny prizes (candy/stickers.) Place them in two separate “nests.” Nests can be made of blankets or sheets swirled up around them. Divide kids into teams, and let them choose a cool dinosaur team name. When the game begins, everyone can sit, stand or whatever they need to do to crack the eggs. The goal is for each team has to crack all of their “dinosaur eggs” first. The first team to succeed, gets the larger prize. All players can keep the smaller prizes.

Supplies: White balloons, blankets, small prizes.

Dancing Dinos

Like to freeze dance? This is a great game for younger kids. Put on some fun music and let the kids dance around like dinosaurs. You can even give them props, such as dinosaur tails or hats.

How to play: Play some upbeat (dinosaur) music and let the kids dance crazy. When the music is paused, each child must freeze like a fossil/frozen dino. If anyone is caught moving, they’re out. Last one standing is the winner.

Supplies: Music.

Egg Relay Race

For this spoon races game, you will need two teams and two baskets. Put a hard-boiled egg in each basket and have the kids race to see who can get the egg from their basket to the other team’s basket first, without dropping it.

How to play: Hard boil eggs to look like dino eggs. Divide teams into two for this relay. The first person in line has a spoon and egg. Every other player has a spoon. Each person with a spoon and egg must carry the egg on the spoon to a designated spot and back. As soon as the player returns to the line, he or she passes the egg to next person in line. Continue until everyone gets a turn . If the egg drops, return to your line and start over.

Supplies: Eggs, spoon.

Hot Dinosaur Egg

Just like the game “hot potato”, except you’re using a water balloon. Play the music and when the music stops, whoever is holding the water balloon is out.

How to play: Just like the classic game hot potato. Pass a water balloon around the circle and whoever’s holding it when the music stops is out! Play until there’s only one person left.

Supplies: Music, water balloons.

Dig for Treasure

Fill a sandpit with treasures, such as plastic dinosaurs, for the kids to find. You can even make it a competition by seeing who can find the most treasure in this dinosaur dig in a certain amount of time.

How to play: Fill a kiddy pool (or sandbox) with sand. Add beach shovels and small brushes. Similar to a dinosaur egg hunt, burry eggs (prizes) in the sand pit and allow kids to dig for buried treasure. Give each child a dinosaur party favor bucket or bag to hold prizes.

Supplies: Baby pool, sand, shovels, fossils, small brushes, eggs, small plastic dinosaurs, dinosaur birthday party favors, bags or buckets.

Surprise Birthday Party Hacks and Ideas

August 16, 2022 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Birthday, Facebook, Hacks, Instagram, Party, Pinterest, Social Media

Shhh, don’t blow it (pun intended!) Gift the person who has everything a party. These Surprise Birthday Party Hacks and Ideas will help you pull of the biggest secretly planned party that the guest of honor and party guests will love.

Does anyone else like giving surprises more than receiving them. Perhaps its the little bit of “control freak” in me. I really like to know what is going on but really like to surprise people with gifts, events, outings, etc.

What is a Surprise Birthday Party?

A secretly planned party for someone who is not told about it until he or she arrives. Typically when the guess of honor arrives, the crowd yells, Surprise!

Surprise parties are especially great for the person who has it all! The best gift you could give them is to gather all their friends and family together in one room. Everyone is there for them!

Planning a surprise party can be a little bit intimidating. The key word is planning. If you are not a planner, step aside and fine someone who is.

First, you have to do everything you can to make sure the guest of honor does not find out. That can be a challenge, especially with technology today! It’s important to plan ahead. I suggest talking to all guests instead of sending out a mass invite. If you are talking to your guests, you can remind them how important it is that the party is kept a secret.

The day of the party, make sure you line up a chauffeur. Have someone drive them so they can’t bail on the location all together. Can you imagine if they texted you replying “they were too tired to go out tonight!” that would be a disaster. When I had my sweet 16th surprise birthday, I tried to change the restaurant at the last minute. Luckily, my mom (my driver) would not let me change restaurant locations. You could also have the party at home. Everybody makes it home each day, no?

Before the guest of honor arrives, make sure you have parking under control. They will likely recognize cars so use side streets or additional parking lost. You could even bus people back and forth to the party.

Have a way to say “Surprise!” Have huge balloon drop, noise makers, or even face masks with a photo of the guest of honor! Enjoy these Surprise Birthday Party Ideas and hacks. Let us know how it goes!

We love celebrations! Also take a look at our Retirement Party Ideas, Family Birthday Celebrations, and Half Birthday Party Ideas – for those 6 months to 100 years old!

Best Things to Do at Hersheypark + Win 8 Hersheypark Tickets

What are some of the best things to do at Hersheypark? From roller coasters to great eats, enjoy Hersheypark hacks and tips plus how to get Hersheypark discount tickets.

In the adorable small town of Hershey, PA sits one of the sweetest places on earth – Hersheypark.

As many of you know, Virginia has been our home for over six years. I can’t believe it took us this long to find the place where milk and ~~honey~~ chocolate flow. This past weekend we entered the park’s gates and spent the best weekend enjoying food, rides, entertainment and more. As a girl born and raised on the outskirts of Orlando, I turned to my husband on the last day of our trip and said, “our kids are not missing out!”

Hersheypark will fill the heart of any theme park lover. Whirl your way into some fun but don’t let it come a chaotic whirlwind. We have you covered with some tips and tricks before your travels.

Get ready to learn about this slice of heaven in the heart of Pennsylvania.

What is there to do at Hersheypark?

I hate to sound cliché, but this question must really be turned around. What is there NOT to do at Hersheypark. From great eats, roller coasters, shows and more, Hersheypark offers entertainment for children of all ages – that includes you mom and dad! Enjoy theme park rides, create your own chocolate, eat some of the best bites and prepar to be amazed as we look at the many things to do in Hershey, PA.

Hershey’s Chocolate World

Looking for something free to do in Hershey, PA? Visit Hersheypark Chocolate World. Located next to the park, unwrap your chocolate cravings with a Chocolate World’s free Hershey’s Chocolate Tour. When visiting Chocolate world, you can also create your own one-of-a-kind candy bar, shop Hershey gifts and souvenirs, or enjoy world-famous milkshakes and bakery treats.

Chocolate World is open year round and located next to Hersheypark. It’s a great way to get a taste (pun intended) of Hershey without entering the park.

Roller Coasters

If you have a thrillist that loves a good roller coaster, there is something for everyone – from toddlers to adults. Be sure to try Hersheypark’s new ride, Candymonium®. Located at the park entrance, this roller coaster ride is the tallest, fastest, longest, and sweetest coaster in Hersheypark.

Speaking of coasters, it’s important to know how your child measures up. Located in the park is a ride height chart. For your convenience, each ride also has measuring sticks and lists eligible riders.

Hersheypark Height Chart

Hershey Miniatures: under 36″

Hershey Kisses: 36″ – 42″

Reese’s: 42″ – 48″

Hersheys: 48″ – 54″

Twizzlers: 54″ – 60″

Jolly Rancher: 60″ and taller

To give you a general idea for young children, my 3 year old twins were Hershey Kisses, my 4 (almost 5 year old) was a Reese’s and my preteens and adults were Jolly Ranchers.

You can find a Hershey Park height chart measuring station all around the park. Each ride also has a measuring stick – so no sneaking on rides you are not “allowed” to ride.

As the parent who often had the youngest kids (while the bigger kids experienced the fastest, most exhilarating coasters), I found plenty to do. There was something around these “big kid” coasters that the younger kids could do. From games, to smaller rides, my toddlers did not feel left out at any time.

Hersheypark Rides

The park offers man classic amusement park rides including wooden roller coasters, water log rides, tea cups, ferris wheel and a carousel. For our family, founder’s Way was great for Hershey Miniatures, Hershey Kisses and Reese’s. When exploring outside of this area, the Hersheypark app was great for viewing a park map, looking at ride wait times and getting directions to your next location. Loops, twists, turns, and thrills were found in every directions and something for the entire family and each age group was mostly available throughout the park.

Some of our favorite coasters included…

Trailblazer – this was a family coaster all my kids qualified to ride.
Laff Trakk – we could have ridden this one over and over – so fun!
Scrambler – the youngers really enjoyed this.
Fahrenheit – this was the first huge roller coaster our almost 5 year old could ride and he loved it.
Speedway – feel free to give the kids the keys to these classic cars.

Hersheypark Water Park

Ready to cool off? Make a splash at the 11-acre water park inside the park. The The Boardwalk at Hersheypark is included with all summer admission tickets. Water slides, tubes, and pools of fun to cool off from the hot sun. The Boardwalk at Hersheypark.

As a Hersheypark tip, it is good to know that the are lockers around the park if you want to lock up your wet apparel or valuables.

Hersheypark Stadium

For evenings, Hersheypark Stadium provides the entertainment. Experience concerts by the most prominent names in the music industry. Sounds for ages young to old. If you are staying at a Hershey hotel, many shuttles run through the concert hours ensuring you get from your Hershey Entertainment back to your bed safely.

Visit here for a list of artists and Hersheypark event schedule.

Hersheypark Hotels

Hershey hotels come with my nice amenities and perks. First, they offer shuttle service to the park so you can leave your car at the hotel. In addition, enjoy their pools and water activities, a game room, s’mores campfire events, restaurants, and other seasonal activities.

One benefit of staying at a park hotel is getting to the park an hour before it opens. If you area park expert, this is great because you can race to the rides that typically have the longest lines or perhaps just enjoy the park with fewer people.

Where is there to stay at Hershey? Visit the Hotel Hershey, the Hershey Lodge and also the Hersheypark camping resort. If you have a home on wheels or want to experience a bit of cabin life, check out Hersheypark campground.

Hersheypark Halloween

Hersheypark In The Dark takes place three weekends in October. Enjoy a spooktacular-ly good time filled with your favorite rides and coasters, chocolatey trick or treat adventures, wild zoo visits, and festive Hershey Character experiences. It takes a “fall festival” to the next level.

Hersheypark Christmas

Are touring Christmas lights on your winter bucket list? Enjoy more than 5 million lights for the most merry event of the year, Hersheypark Christmas Candylane®! Deck the halls with your favorite rides and coasters, a visit with Santa and his reindeer, festive Hershey Character experiences, and more. This event takes place mid November to early January.
