A Knight's & Dragons birthday party

Last Saturday was Elias & Aidan's birthday party.  The boys had 9 little friends over to celebrate and I think they all had fun!  Here are some pictures.

Snacks were rainbow fruit kabobs, pigs in a blanket, castle & crown shaped sugar cookies, cheese& crackers, and chips

 Most of the knights and the princess

The first game was kind of like hot potato   Gabe wrapped up a prize (a cool heavy gold old fashioned key) in a bunch of grocery sacks.  The kids all stood in a circle and we played some music.  When the music stopped whoever was holding the roll of bags would take on off and then continue passing it until the last person unwrapped the prize.  

 Next we did a craft and decorated plastic goblets with self adhesive jewels.  Then we served red sparkling cider in them.

 Next game was outside - we played ringtoss.

Then we played "queek" which is an old game that kids used to play in the Medieval times.  The children had to throw on rock onto a black and white checkered board, but before throwing their rock they had to name the color it would land on.  Points are awarded accordingly   

After the games, I read the kids a short story about St. George slaying the dragon and then we slayed our dragon pinata!
