After watching the movie, Jumanji, my son wanted me to do a Jumanji party for his 7th brithday.  I based the whole party off of the movie. First, I taped giant squares of construction paper in a winding path all around the basement - this was the game board.  I made a giant die by glueing felt dots to a large foam square found at a craft store. I also hung green crepe paper from the ceiling to simulate jungle vines and made twisty trees from newspaper and construction paper to give the basement more of a jungle feeling. Each child was a token on the board and took turns rolling the die and advancing the number rolled. When they landed on their space, they received a card with a short poem to foretell what was about to happen, just like in the movie. Whenever I could, I followed the movie. For example: when the bats showed up, we did a bat craft (using construction paper and clothes pins so they could pin the bat on their goody bags), when the mosquitoes showed up, we did a game where everyone got a fly swatter and had to swat the mosquitoes (balloons) into a bin. For the wild vines, we went outside and did silly string.  For the quick sand, we made sandy candy tubes (kind of like pixi sticks).  I bought inflatable monkeys and they had a clue search to find them in a storage closet.  Because I wanted each child to roll twice, I made up enough cards so that each roll would correspond to an activity, game, craft, or cake time (That card read: Move back one space and take a break - who would like some milk and cake?).  Other activities included alligator shrinky dinks and our version of duck, duck, goose - Lion Lion Leopard - complete with the runner wearing a tail made of yarn!  The boys, especially, liked the cork gun practice (cork gun found at Oriental Trading Co) for the part where the hunter shows up. I made a pinata spider out of a balloon and paper machier (pipe cleaners for legs) and filled it with plastic spider rings for the part about the giant spiders.  We had the movie playing the whole time for the kids during any down time (some kids were quicker with the crafts than others) and they were all mezmorized by it (some even wanted to stay and watch it again after the party!).  After his first roll of the die, my son turned to me and said, Mom I love you - this is the best party ever!" He still talks about that party almost 3 months later. I credit the success of all my parties to this site where I've gleaned so many creative ideas over the years - what a resource!"
