How about a party where it's the KIDS that do all the work? And for a GREAT PRICE during our limited time RECESSION PRICING SPECIAL
And have a blast doing it. Now there's a concept...
The Magica Party
from the Birthday Party Games Lady
You're sitting down enjoying a quiet moment: the kids are off doing something together. Then- here they come. "Mom, Dad, will you watch our skit?" This has happened to me it seems like a thousand times. They LOVE doing this! So I developed my Magica party to give them what they love to do. For this birthday party, they'll be the Fairytale Players, presenting the original play "Saving Magica".
And they love EVERY MINUTE!!
Kids love magic and fantasy, and that's the basis of Magica's plot. It's got good v. evil, Queens and Princesses, witches and a Sorceress, a Fairy and a Fairy Godmother. All the stuff they really get into. It's age appropriately simple so they really can put it all together during your party. It's written for 10 players, and unless I've got it all wrong as the mother of 2 girls, this IS a girl thing. Reading and thinking skills require that the kids be in 5th or 6th grade- 4th if they're an advanced group or it's late in the school year.
And the real beauty of this party is the kids do almost all the work!
Before I give you the full-blown description of the actual Magica Party game, here are the
Quick Facts- so you know exactly what's involved
- VERY QUICK to put together. Preparation is simply printing the invitations and scripts, and assembling your prop materials, which is not a big deal. Figure about an hour of printing and an hour of preparation once you've got your supplies. Click here to see the exact preparation required for the Magica Party
- nothing to buy except food
- cheaper than all the usual party "extras" you now don't have to buy. Click here to see why
- available for IMMEDIATE download in either .pdf format or as WORD files. NO SNAIL MAIL- the download is easy and requires no computer expertise. Check it out here.
- You just need to set up a space for their stage, an area about 10' x 10' plus space to squeeze in the audience. Outside, that's easy. Inside, you can use your basement, rec room, garage, even a cleared out end of your living room- they're doing a play, not making a mess or acting wild.
- for 10 girls - including the birthday child
- it's a 90 minutes to 3 hour party excluding cake & ice cream- depending whether you choose to have the kids make a backdrop and/or do hair/makeup.
- suitable for indoors or outside- under the stars on your patio is great, or even in your garage!!
This Magica Party is very easy and quick to put together- the kids really do all the work!

You get scripts for each player that, obviously, contain the plot but also include stage directions (exit, curtain, etc.) and space for each player to write in their dialogue (based on the action in the script). It's simple enough that no one has many lines or actions to remember, and writing their own lines helps them learn it. |
The Props
Your required props involve cutting up a big box or two for your castle tower and drawbridge, and finding a big pot, an old broomstick handle and a junky old big necklace (or making a paper chain one instead). You'll need 2 sheets, a mirror, some gooseneck lamps and flashlights, or all flashlights. That's all.
|
|
You can also lengthen your party and have the kids make some additional, simple props: a castle wall backdrop (more boxes or a roll of brown craft paper and paint), princess hats and witches wands. I strongly recommend you include the making of the backdrop- we used ours for years after the party for various other activites the girls dreamed up. |
Dress Rehearsal
|
|
|
| |
They've come in costume, now let them do make-up and hair to fit their parts! This component is optional, but the girls love it. Just provide the make-up and brushes, etc.- cheap drug store stuff they can share. A helper is a good idea here. |
Now they're all ready!! Parents and siblings should have arrived. Turn out the lights, and LET THE SHOW BEGIN!!!
It doesn't have to be ready to open on Broadway- the fun is in the doing.
The Invitation that gets them all excited
It tells them very little other than that the Fairytale Players are presenting "Saving Magica", so their imaginations go to work and they get all excited about your party- guaranteeing it's success! Includes the Parent invitation that slips inside (2 to choose from: 1 inviting the family, the other limiting it to 1 or 2 people if you have limited audience space.)
See it full size, see how easy easy it is to edit in your party particulars, see the Directory of all the party components for printing the entire party with the Magica Test Drive. (This is a .pdf document requiring Adobe Reader - it's free.)
And when they're all juiced up for your party- it's a guaranteed success! Plus, your birthday child will be the center of attention for days before the party- and that makes a happy camper!

Parent's Comments:
"One thing I am thrilled about is a little help in getting our kids to interact and do something constructive so you already get an A+ for that! :) "
-from Diane in Ohio
"Very clever- and easy to do."
-from Sue in Montana
|
"The party was a huge hit. We decided to do all the activities; scenery, dialogue, makeup, dress rehearsal and all. The kids did a great job and had a blast doing it. The parents were quite proud of their children as evidenced by their beaming faces as they watched from the audience."
-from Terri in New Jersay
"...you had a new party for us! .... I don't know what made you think of having them put on a little play, but it worked like a charm and good times were had by all- parents too!"
-Gloria in Vermont
|
"We haven't had the Magica party yet, but everyone is very excited about it, so I know it will be hit!"
-from MaryAnn in Memphis
|
"They had a wonderful time! Creating some props, doing the hair and make-up, rehearsing. performing, they loved it all. And we all loved watching. Great Idea! "
-from Vicki in Alabama
|
"The girls had a blast doing this, and so did I..."
-from Brooke in Atlanta
|
"My daughter and I had wonderful 'together time' making the castle backdrop- and that was worth the whole thing for me. But the girls had a great time preparing their play and performing for their parents, so everyone went home happy."
-from Tina in Cleveland
|
"I didn't think they'd ever stop rehearsing and changing their dialogue- they really got into this and were kept totally abosrbed the entire time. And I had lots of fun as stage manager too. This was perfect for girls this age. Thank you. "
-from Mary in Boston
|
"Making the girls co-operate to write their dialogue and make this play happen was a real eye-opener. They buckled down and went at it happily. The hair and make-up was a great break before the performance, and a good time was had by all. "
-from Fran in K.C.
|
"This was very easy for me to do and the girls really enjoyed doing it. and boy- did they ham it up!!"
-from Cathy in Phoenix
|
"My daughter chose this party against my advice- I didn't think a bungh of 10 year old would be able to pull it together. Well- I was very wrong. Not only did they put on a show everyone enjoyed watching, they had a terrific time doing it. Give them a fun task, and they really do rise to the occassion. I was quite proud."
-from Sylvie in Louisville
|
"The hardest part was getting my hands on a refrigerator box for the backdrop. Once that was accomplished, it was smooth sailing. The girls enjoyed the whole thing - especially 'showing off' for their parents during the performance. "
-from Sylvie in Louisville
