For my 9th birthday I decided to have a puppy party.We decided not to have the party in our apartment witch is pretty small. Instead we had it in the rec-room. Any body in the apartments can access it. It's pretty much just an exercise room with a refrigerator, sink, sofa, and T.V. We moved the exercise equipment and it was perfect. DECORATIONS: For decorations I hung blue and green streamers from the ceiling, chairs, and table.We also had doggie cut-outs that we bought at he party store.A cool decoration that we also put on the table was a dog bowl with flowers in it. All the moms commented on it when they came to pick up the guests. GAMES: One of the games we played was called Feed the breed. Draw a dog face on a large piece of cardboard, then cut out were the mouth is. Have guests stand in a line a try to throw a bouncy ball through the hole. If they get it through the hole or not, they get a prize. The prize box was a decorated cardboard box with some small things like a bouncy ball, littlest pet shop figurine, and a small watch. Another game we played was called The Best Bark contest. My older brother played judge but any family member would work. The judge� picks a category like exited or shy or sad. Then each guest acts (and barks) out what that would look like. Like let's say the judge chose the category exited. Each child would act out what they think that would look like. Some might chase there tails, some might bark excitedly. PARTY SNACKS:  As for party snacks I mixed a bag of popcorn, Chex, Cherrios, and mixed nuts into a big bowl. By the end of the party the bowl was all empty.We never bought plates instead we used colorful dog bowls from the dollar store.It got pretty messy when we ate the ice cream but it was really fun. It must have been a pretty good party because 6 months later my friend reminded me how awesome my 9th birthday was.
