This rockin party game is a fun twist on the classic piñata. You, or another adult, pose as the paparazzi. You’ve taken one too many unwelcome pictures and now the rock stars are after you. Every time you get tagged you must freeze and throw out some swank (candy from your bag of goodies). When the children are rushing to collect it you can make your escape. Keep playing until all your “swank” is gone.

Karaoke Fun
This is kind of an obvious choice for a rock star birthday party, but it should definitely be considered. If you already own a karaoke machine that’s perfect, if not you might be able to borrow one from a friend or rent one. Make sure you have music suitable for the age group of your party. You can just go free style and let whoever wants to sing have a go, or you can divide kids into groups of two or three. Give them 20-30 minutes to practice a song and maybe come up with a move or two and then let them perform in front of everyone. Create a stage from sheets and colored lights to add to the fun.
