So it's super fun to do scavenger hunts but what if Ii threw a twist to it.Where either you write the clues on a balloon or you have the clue hidden in the balloon on a piece of paper and you have to pop it. And this game can work for practically any party theme.
One time for my birthday we had a Mr. Men themed party. It was great because we could do so many games. In our gift bags we had silly string and put from Mr.Silly and Mr.Messy on a tag.Another game we had at that party was where you threw back a sting behind a curtain and someone would connect a prize to the end of it. If you didn't like it you could be Mr. Greedy and get one more try. If you didn't like that then you were out of luck.
Another party theme idea is a Water Party especially if it's a summer party. There are lots of games to do with that. You can have a water gun fight. You can even throw in a twist where you have to earn a water gun from games. You can play limbo with a hose and if you touch the water you're out. What if you played a game where there are two teams and you dunk sponges in a bucket of water and you try to throw at the other team. If you hit them then they are out. If they catch it then they can invite someone from their team back in and the person who threw it is out. The first team to get the other team out wins.Another game is where you toss a water balloon between two people and if it breaks you pass it to the next pair of people the last pair left wins! You could also use trash bags for a water slide. For a pinata you could fill a trash bag with water and hit it until it bursts. Lastly you could give everyone a water gun give the tagger a bigger one. If the tagger gets the other players then they are frozen. They can only be unfrozen if the other players tag you with their water gun. for more ideas try http://www.birthdayinabox.com/party-ideas/water-games.html
Another party game is where all players are wearing different accessories such as necklaces, wigs, etc.Let the guesser examine them for about 3 minutes then send them away. Have them change accessories with someone else and then they can enter the room with the guesser again. The guesser then must find what changed about the players. You can play with teams and whichever team's guesser gets the most right wins.
I hope you found these party ideas very useful!

How to make students want to listen
A way to make students want to listen to you is by rewarding them with something. So if they were being quiet you could place a small prize on their desk. (Can be purchased at Dollar Tree)
Such as:
Eraser
Pencil
Pencil topper
Another thought is having teams. You can put students in teams and have them compete against the other teams. Give points to each team for being good, finishing their work first (correctly), cleaning up, etc. At the end of the week the student with the most points can get a prize
Such as:
Picking out of the Prize Box
Sitting on the carpet
Free Draw
Soon you will realize your students will want to listen and pay attention to you.

Planting a Read Seed
Helping students in a classroom want to learn is very important. So one way they can want to read is by giving them rectangular thin sheets of paper (shaped like a bookmark) and have them create a bookmark. Have a competition, but don't have 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place because that excludes some kids. Have a prize or a name for each
Such as:
Most Creative
Most Colorful
Most Fun
Most Enchanting
Most Fancy
Most Beautiful
Most Stunning
Most Lady-Like
Most Gentle
Most Soothing
Most Star-Like
Encourage them to read, because books can be fascinating just like their bookmarks.

Storage Tip
If your having trouble storing items, then this is the tip for you.
If you have a lot of little items that you don't want to get rid of then have a small grocery bag and put your items in it. If you have a few big items put them in a bin. Then put your bag or bags and put those in that bin. That way you can keep all your things organized and out of your way.

Ingredients
4 small sweet potatoes, scrubbed and washed
4 medium carrots, 2 roughly chopped and 2 shredded
1/2 medium onion, roughly chopped
1 plum tomato, chopped
2 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 pound lean ground beef
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Directions
Poke each sweet potato a few times and microwave until fork tender, about 10 minutes, rotating about halfway through. Set aside and keep warm.
Combine the chopped carrots, onions, tomatoes, garlic, 2 tablespoons of the vinegar, cumin, 1 teaspoon salt, oregano, cayenne and a few grinds of black pepper in a food processor; pulse until coarsely chopped. Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, add the vegetable mixture and cook, stirring constantly, until dry, 3 to 4 minutes.

Split the potatoes in half, scoop out some of the warm flesh and add it to the beef mixture; stir to combine. Divide the potato halves among four plates and generously fill each half with the beef-potato mixture. Toss the shredded carrots with the cilantro, the remaining 1 teaspoon vinegar and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Divide the carrot slaw among the four plates.

Ingredients
3/4 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about 2 large), cut into 3/4- to 1-inch pieces
1 large egg white
2 tablespoons Chinese rice wine or dry sherry
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons cornstarch
5 teaspoons low-sodium soy sauce
Kosher salt
1 tablespoon sugar
Freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons peanut or vegetable oil
2-inch piece ginger, sliced paper thin
5 scallions, whites cut into 1/2-inch pieces and greens sliced, separated
2 red bell peppers, sliced
1 cup frozen corn kernels
Cooked brown rice, for serving
3/4 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about 2 large), cut into 3/4- to 1-inch pieces
1 large egg white
2 tablespoons Chinese rice wine or dry sherry
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons cornstarch
5 teaspoons low-sodium soy sauce
Kosher salt
1 tablespoon sugar
Freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons peanut or vegetable oil
2-inch piece ginger, sliced paper thin
5 scallions, whites cut into 1/2-inch pieces and greens sliced, separated
2 red bell peppers, sliced
1 cup frozen corn kernels
Cooked brown rice, for serving
Directions
Toss the chicken with the egg white, 1 tablespoon each rice wine and cornstarch, 1 teaspoon soy sauce and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Mix together 1/3 cup water, the remaining 4 teaspoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice wine and 2 teaspoons cornstarch, the sugar and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a small bowl until dissolved; set aside.
Place the sauce, vegetables and chicken near the stove. Heat 2 tablespoons of the peanut oil in a large wok or large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; swirl to coat the wok. Once the oil is hot, scoop the chicken from the bowl with a slotted spoon, letting any excess coating remain in the bowl, and add to the oil. Stir-fry, breaking the chicken up just enough so it doesn't clump, until the outside coating is set and lightly golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the chicken with a slotted spoon and set aside. Wipe the wok out if needed.
Return the wok to medium-high heat and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil to the wok. Just as the oil begins to smoke, add the ginger and stir-fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the scallion whites and peppers and stir-fry until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Add the corn and stir-fry until just soft, about 1 minute. Add the chicken and the sauce (stir the sauce before adding); stir until the sauce is thick and the vegetables and chicken are cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the scallion greens. Serve with the brown rice.

Fun math games
Do some of your students struggle learning math because it's boring? here is a fun math game kids will love. This game will help with any math facts.
You could have "Fun Fact Fridays" where every student has fun learning math facts. What you do is on Friday morning you have a note card with a math fact on every student's desk (don't put the answer)and have a bingo sheet with numbers on it. They can look at it, but no one else should. When you play, tape the fact to their shirt. Have the students go to the front of the room one by one. Have the students read their fact, but they don't say the answer. The students put a checker on the space if they have the answer. Write down the answer and when a student gets bingo, or five in a row, they stand up and say, "Fun Fact Friday." Check to see if they have the right numbers. Have student say one fact to go with the number. Have a prize if they got it right.
I can guarantee your students will grow in math facts and have fun
