We had a fun SPY themed birthday party for Parker this year. He invited five friends. Here are the party guests from left to right in the picture below: Ian, Parker, Zane, Todd, Zoe (Ian's sister), and Sincere.
We told the kids that they would be training to become secret agents. Each game was a "training exercise" and each prize was a different "spy gadget" so that by the end of the party they each had a complete secret agent kit in their own "top secret briefcase."
For example, the picture above shows an exercise where they were training to infiltrate a high security room in enemy headquarters that was armed with laser beams. The only way to deactivate the lasers was to follow each one to its point of origin. So the kids had a blast winding the string around the little cardboard handles as they climbed under and over each other's "lasers."
Another training exercise involved using the dress-up clothes to disguise themselves so that no one would recognize them when they were spying. (Sorry that we didn't get a picture of you too, Zane).
Our spy version of pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey used a big red target and suction cup darts.
After all the games, it was cake time!

We even dressed Anndra up for the occasion.
