Olivia's Around the World Dora party

For her 5th party, we had a Dora Around the World party. We took 'passport' photos of everyone as they came in, they all LOVED having their picture taken. We cropped them and affixed them to passports.



Olivia got a phone call from Dora (my friend) who told her Swiper took all the friendship bracelets and Dora needed help getting them back. The kids all had to learn about Tanzania, China, France and Russia in order to get the bracelets.


We played a game for every country: African animal charades for Tanzania; Dragon for China; 1,2,3, soleil for France and musical chairs to Russian music for Russia. I also taught them how to say hi in Swahili, Chinese, French and Russian.


For food, we had each country represented as well. We had ham and cheese and cheese croissant sandwiches toasted. African banana fritters and fresh fruit. Eggrolls and fortune cookies. Russian perogis. I think everyone liked to try different things.

Here we are playing animal charades:


Her cake had all the continents on it.
