Enjoy these 16 hilarious graduation games & activities for a graduation celebration. From stacking pennies to making sure you drop the tassel, there is something for everyone. So grab some friends and get ready to have some fun! Warning: Laughter included!

Pomp and circumstance has played, the gown was proudly worn, the grad cap was thrown and the diploma is rolled proudly. What’s next?! Other than planning for the future, it’s an important to celebrate the guest of honor. It doesn’t matter if you have a high school graduation party, a college graduation party (or even something younger), take a look at the best ways to host the best grad celebration.

How to Entertain at a Graduation Party

It’s important to entertain guests at a party. First welcome your guests with a drink. Have various food and appetizers around the room. Guests who have food in their belly are more likely to feel comfortable and more likely to engage.

More ideas for entertaining your guests include…

Prepare ahead of time so you can be apart of the gathering.
Introduce people you know to create conversation.
Embrace spontaneity.
Have background music.
Have a running slide show of photographs.
Have a photo booth.
Decoration with décor that fits the theme and creates conversation.
Allow your guests to help.
Put together party activities

In addition to this list, amuse your guests with various games. It doesn’t have to be a three ring circus, but a party isn’t a party without a little fun!

There are plenty of ways to entertain at a party, but if you want to make it memorable you will include opportunities for guests to get to know one another, engage and laugh! That is what makes graduation games perfect! Having a resource that keeps your graduation party activities organized will guide you into creating the celebration your guests talk about for years to come.

What are some Graduation Games?

When it comes to creating games for a celebration, it is best to stick to a theme. A graduation party includes an easy theme – graduation. The best graduation games combine such objects as a tassel, graduation caps, pencils, diplomas and other fitting end of the year school props.

We’ve put together a few grad party games that fit the theme and include plenty of laughter. Best of all, each of these games can be accomplished quickly as they are only one minute long. Repeat as much as you would like to extend the length of the graduation activities.

Here are a few of our favorites:

Don’t Drop the Tassel

This game is simple, but so entertaining. All you need is a couple of graduation tassels and some popsicle sticks. Teams will race to pass the tassel without dropping it. Fastest team wins!

Supplies: Graduation Tassels, Popsicle Wooden Sticks (or straws)

Keep Your Grades Up

Making good grades is key to a successful school experience, so it makes sense that we include it in these graduation party games. In this game, guests will compete to see who can keep their balloons in the air the longest. Don’t let those “grades” drop!

Supplies: Balloons, Permanent Marker

Graduation Tears

Saying goodbye to school may or may not cause tears, but this game is sure to bring them out. Players must pull tissues from the Kleenex box as fast as possible. The goal? Have the most in your pile at the end of 60 seconds.

Supplies: Tissue boxes

Penny Stack

Watch your income grow with this one-handed game of skill. Players must stack pennies as high as possible in one minute. The more pennies, the higher the stack – and the bigger the payout! Oh, and you can only use one hand. Simple, right?

Supplies: Pennies

Johnny Applestack

In this classic game, see how many apples you can stack in 60 seconds. Best off all, you likely have these supplies in your kitchen!

Supplies: Apples

Oh the Places You Will Go

Also known as Ping-Pong bounce. This traditional minute to win it game has a bit of a twist. Label the plastic cups with different places. See who can get the most ping-pong balls in their cups (places) in 60 seconds.

Supplies: Ping-Pong Balls, Plastic SOLO Cups, Sharpie Marker

Smart Cookie

If you have ever played a 60 second game before then you know face the cookie. Move a cookie from your forehead down to your chin and inside your mouth before time is up.

Supplies: Cookies

Strong Mom Quotes

March 16, 2022 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Facebook, Instagram, Parenting, Pinterest, Printable, Social Media

Have a strong mom? Encourage her with these short mom quotes. This adorable mom quote printable is perfect for a mother’s birthday, Mother’s day or just because.

Being a mom isn’t for the weak. It’s a lot of hard work, but it’s also incredibly rewarding. A strong mom is one who can handle anything that comes her way, even when things get tough.

It’s no secret moms were created with some type of super human strength – both physically, emotionally and mentally. While I (a mom of five) don’t have the strength to lift a car, I can birth humans (in my case – accidently unmedicated, barely on a table.) While, I love good sleep I have an ability to make it day after day with interrupted nights.

The strength of a mother is powerful and sometimes events are placed our lives that require us to be physically and emotionally present and all of a sudden we are presented with super hero strength we did not realize we were able to muster. As Barbara Kingsolver once said, “sometimes the strength of motherhood is greater than natural laws.”

Children come into our lives in so many ways, you don’t have to have given birth to be a mother. No matter what your mom situation is, the fact of the matter is that if someone depends on you, you’re a momma.

Celebrate Mom with Strong Mom Quotes

Whether it’s Mother’s Day, mom’s birthday or mom is just overdue for some extra love, these strong mom quotes are a great way to remind the woman who raised you how much she means to you.

“A mother’s love is something that no one can explain, it’s something that you have to feel. It’s the passion of a thousand suns burning inside of you.” – Unknown

“The best place to cry is on a mother’s arms.” – Jodi Picoult

“We have a secret in our culture, and it’s not that birth is painful. It’s that women are strong.” – Laura Stavoe Harm.

“The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new.” – Rajneesh

“Motherhood is a choice you make every day to put someone else’s happiness and well-being ahead of your own, to teach someone else that life isn’t always about what you want.” – Mandy Hale

“A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when misfortune takes the place of happiness; when we are deserted by the world, and our friends in whom we trusted, have proved unworthy of our confidence. A mother’s love is then most needed, and most tender.” – Washington Irving

“A mother understands what a child does not say.” – Jewish Proverb

“Motherhood is a choice you make every day, to put someone else’s happiness and well-being ahead of your own. To teach the hard lessons, to do the right thing, even when you’re not sure what the right thing is to forgive yourself over and over again for doing everything wrong.” – Donna Ball

“One of the greatest titles in the world is parent, and one of the biggest blessings in the world is to be one.” – Jim Gaffigan

“A mom’s hug lasts long after she lets go.” – Unknown

“A mother is she who can take the place of all others but whose place no one else can take.” – Unknown

“All that I am or ever hope to be, I owe to my angel mother.” – Abraham Lincoln

“The heart of a mother is a deep abyss at the bottom of which you will find forgiveness.” – Honore de Balzac

“It is not until you become a mother that your judgment slowly turns to compassion and understanding.” – Erma Bombeck.

Strong Mother Quotes

As someone who has walked the walk of being a single mom, I wanted to share a few verses of encouragement. That circumstances in that season of time was one of my hardest. If you find yourself in times of stress, be encouraged by some of these strong single mother quotes.

“There is no way to be the perfect mother but a million ways to be a good one.” – Jill Churchill.

“Successful mothers are not the ones that have never struggled. They are the ones that never give up, despite the struggles.” – Sharon Jaynes.

“To describe my mother would be to write about a hurricane in its perfect power. Or the climbing, falling colors of a rainbow.” – Maya Angelou.

“Any mother could do the jobs of several air traffic controllers with ease.” – Lisa Alther

“Not only am I a fighter, but I’m a survivor. I think being a mother really plays into that.” – Willow Cross

“A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts.” -Washington Irving

Hey Google, Call Mom

Being a mom doesn’t mean you’re perfect, it means you do your best. You feel more deeply, you love harder. You’re strong when you don’t want to be and show that it’s okay to be vulnerable.

Celebrate your mom with a simple phone call, text, or visit to remind her that she is loved. And if you don’t live near your mom, take a few minutes to tell her how much you appreciate all she’s done for you.

No matter what, a strong mom is always there for her children. So thank your mom for everything she’s done for you and let her know how much you love her with encouraging mom quotes.

Strong Mom Printable

To help you celebrate your amazing mom, we made this Strong Mom printable. Just download, print and frame the strong mom quote. I personally keep mine by my kitchen sink. Each time I am doing dishes (yes, millions and millions of dishes – usually my kids) I am able to view this quote.

Are you exhausted?

Me too, but we’ve got this.

I’m choosing to be thankful in this moment because it means we’re making a difference.

Remember, you are doing an amazing job!

It’s easy to put together, doesn’t cost much (even for a broke college kid!) and she’ll love to hang it up somewhere special to remind her of how awesome you think your mom is!

Stay Strong, Mom!

There is no perfect mother. In fact a good mother knows her imperfections. In fact, to quote Arianna Huffington “The fastest way to break the cycle of perfectionism and become a fearless mother is to give up the idea of doing it perfectly – indeed to embrace uncertainty and imperfection.”

If you are here today because you are also an exhausted mom, I get it. As a mom of five, I am also asked which number kid is the hardest. Honestly, each kid is unique and comes with their own joys and challenges. However, for me the answer to this question is always the same “the first is the hardest.”

If you are here, you are a mom. In that case, you at least have one. Hugs mama, it’s hard but you are strong. Remember, even in the day to day challenge, you are in this place, the present. And the present is the gift of your child(ren) even on days where you might not feel it.

XO Mom – Stay Strong!

Mmmm, me hearties! Want to throw a fun pirate-themed birthday party? Take a look at some of the best pirate party ideas for kids. Enjoy pirate party games, activities, party favors, pirate food, decorations, invitations and much more! Roll up your striped sleeves and talk like a pirate and give us your best growl. Let’s get started!

Ahoy, Matey! Are you searching for tips on throwing the best pirate birthday party ever? You’re in luck. We’ve found cute cakes and creative desserts that’ll satisfy any little pirate’s sweet tooth. We’ve also rounded up some simple ideas for décor and fun pirate-themed activities for the kids (and adults) to try. From printable pirate hats to pirate ship hot dogs any scurvy seafarer would love, you will find loads of inspiration to make your little buccaneer beam with pride on their big day.

How to Throw a Pirate Party

In this huge list of pirate party ideas, we focus on keeping it low cost and DIY. I am not talking about the DIY that creates the Pinterest Mom. I am talking about the busy mom that doesn’t want to break the bank when it comes to your child’s birthday party (unless you have a rather large pot of gold.)

When it comes to throwing low-cost pirate party, focus on these main ideas.

The Food
The Cake/Cupcakes
The Décor
The Pirate Games & Activities

If you can check off each of these areas, you probably have pulled your party together. Full bellies create happy people. It can be simple from goldfish crackers, to hot dogs, to pretzels.

Pirate party decorations can easily be collected online, from items you have at home (raid your Halloween décor), or by visiting The Dollar Tree.

Lastly, a memorable party includes activities. Otherwise you have a bunch of crewmates twiddling thumbs (if they have any left form the crocodile bites.) Make sure you download and print this incredibly helpful list of Pirate Party Activities and Ideas.

This includes a supply list and game instructions – trust me, you will thank me later. You might even send me a chocolate gold coin as a token of thanks.

Don’t walk the plank – let the pirate party remain on deck. Put the play in the party plan and have fun!

Pirate Cakes and Desserts
