Jungle party: An animal children’s birthday party
At a jungle party on a child’s birthday, your apartment or garden becomes a wildlife park. Each child has to dress up as an animal from the jungle to celebrate. Whether Baloo the bear or Shir Khan the tiger – all animals are welcome.

Jungle party invitation
At this party, each child can choose the animal they like best. You will have a whole zoo in your apartment! As an invitation, you can cut out pictures of animals and stick them on cardboard or even paint them yourself. Funny are the wiggly eyes and a speech bubble that says: Come to my birthday party! The ringed snake is a little more complex. To do this, draw a coiled snake on solid cardboard and cut it out to create a kind of mobile. You can now write your invitation text on the curved snake body. Don’t forget to give the snake a face and a long tongue!
Decoration and food for a jungle party
You can hang up green crepe strips in the doorway as decoration. Leaves made of cardboard or banana leaves (available in Asia shops) are also good. Small palm trees made out of kitchen roll painted brown with strips of green crepe attached to them look great on the tables.
A buffet with various “animal food” is suitable for dinner. So you can serve crackers, cheese cubes, various fruit skewers and sausage bites. A mixed salad or tasty sausages in their dressing gowns are sure to taste good to the wild guests, too.
Program item for the jungle party
If the little guests have not yet done their own make-up, they will definitely enjoy a make-up lesson. Each child is made up in the face like the respective animal. It is best to get some make-up templates in advance. In addition, they will certainly be happy about a pair of tails and ears made of cardboard. A fun game is the “elephant tail game”. Each child gets a thread tied around their stomach, and something heavy, such as a ballpoint pen or a large pearl, is tied to the back end. Two children compete against each other. They stand with their backs to a larger mason jar or jam jar and have to try to balance the weighted tail into that jar.
The Anaconda game is a bit more turbulent. Here all the children line up one behind the other and hold each other’s hips. The first child tries to catch the end of the line. When the last child in the line is caught, that child becomes the head of the snake.
