Here are some ideas and games for a sports party theme...whether you are celebrating a specific sport or event, or a salute to all sports.

Some people choose a sports theme to coincide with a special event such as the Super Bowl, World Cup or the Olympics

Other times this party theme focuses on a specific sport, but it can include a salute to all sports just as easily.

    • Sports Party  - Active Games

    Take it outside! A sports theme party isn’t complete without some sports! You can have your own “sporting event” fashioned after good old fashioned field day events. Consider it an “Outlandish Olympics!”

    Egg and Spoon Relay - Divide players into two teams and have each team form a line. Have a member of each team race to a certain point, holding a hard-boiled egg in a spoon, and then return so that the next team member has a turn.

  • Play soccer - If there are kids, try using a balloon instead of a ball for extra fun!

  • Panty Hose Race - the craziest race ever!

  • Hula Hoop Contest

  • Obstacle Course - Design something that is just the right challenge for your guests!

  • High Jump - Jump over an obstacle.

  • Scooter Pull Relay - Have players lie on the stomachs on a flat cart and pull themselves to a finish line.

  • Balancing Race - Players race with a book balanced on their heads. If the book falls, the player must return to the starting line.

  • Darts

  • Bean Bag Toss, Ring Toss, or Horseshoes
