I'm planning a Cowboy/girl & Indians party for my daughter who will me 6,it will only be a small party for about 10 kids:PDT_Xtremez_42:
I'm sorry this isn't an invite unless you want to be a buckin' bronco & have all the kids ride on your back:PDT11
I'm just asking for any tips or ideas for food games & decorations
the party isn't until September so all ideas will be welcome

so think back to all the cowwy films with John Wayne
thanks
Mandy

Sounds Fun. What about one of those Pinata,s ?.
That is the hanging donkey or whatever and the kid,s
wear a blindfold andtry to smash it with a stick. I had one years
ago and it was full of sweets....

How about this?

I was looking for a video clip of Harry Nilsson singing "Little Cowboy".

Very funny, Mandy, but I don't think your children would like that!

Whatever happened to "Musical Chairs" or "Pass the Parcel"?

I found this.
Never heard it before, but I like it.

Little Cowboy.

I think the kids would love it

I'll still have pass the parcel & musical statues but with a cowboy twist to them,
maybe line dancing or barn dancing, anyone got Billy Ray Cyrus's Achy Breaky Heart?:PDT11

A few ideas from various web sites...

Wanted posters: Easy to make with nothing but a printer and a few sheets of paper.

Horseshoe-shaped invites: Simple, but effective, and, again, you can easily make them yourself.

Luckily the old West was none too fancy: even if you don't have a barn at your disposal, it's not too tough to turn your home into the perfect Western-style setting. Use ropes, battered tin cans on the fence, spare hats, cow hide fabric, horseshoes, and bullhorns.

For a fantastic finishing touch, stick rapid-fire bullet holes on your car, your fridge, your windows, and anywhere else they'll stick.

Speaking of food, cowboy tableware is easy enough to create. Just beg, borrow or steal a big trestle table, and cover with a red and white checked cloth - prairie-style dining for pennies!

The great thing about a cowboy-themed party is its flexibility. If you don't want to come as a full-on cowboy, you can always come as an Indian, complete with feathered head-dress.

There's no excuse either for your more fashion-conscious friends. Cowboy Couture has never been more popular, making it easy to dress up your own clothes with a pink sequined cowgirl hat and pair of cowboy boots, or to sling a kerchief around the neck of your t-shirt (cowboys, by the way, call them Sloppy Joe's, and so should you!) sling on a pair of Wranglers and still look like you just stepped out of a saloon.

Tin Can Shoot: Just what it says on the, er, tin. Line your empty cans up along a wall or other surface, issue each ranch hand with a cheap water pistol, and let them have at it. The sharpest shooter in the West wins the game.

Hobby-Horse relay: Every cowboy needs a steed, but if you don't have real horses to hand, or even real hobby-horses, a collection of old brooms will do just fine. This game works just the same as a normal relay race: split the cowpokes into two teams, mark out a course, and give them one steed per team. Each team member must take it in turns to complete the course before passing the "horse" on the next person. First team to finish wins.

Bronco Lasso: Replace the bronco with a large stuffed toy and the lasso with an old clothesline or skipping rope. Then let the cowpokes try to bring her in…

Cattle Drive: Having real cattle at your party could be a recipe for disaster: instead, buy a bumper pack of balloons, and mark out a course using string (try to use the garden or another suitably large area for this one). Now bring out your trusty brooms/hobby horses and get the cowpokes to earn their keep by "driving" their charges through the course.

Finally, if your guests are up for it, stick on a CD of line dancing music or buy a learn to line dance DVD - you may never turn into the next Billy Ray Cyrus (and that may not be a bad thing), but you should have some fun along the way.

How about tossing horse shoes onto a stick ? I have some hard hats and high vis vests and boots ! oops wrong type of cowboys?? :PDT_Xtremez_42:

You can get nachos and Tex-Mex food from Asda?

This sounds a cool party :PDT_Aliboronz_24:

Kev's small enough for the Kids to give Pony rides without the kids falling from a great height.

Can I come Robbo, I wanna wear my six gun.:009:

Thanks everyone,I've got a few ideas from them :PDT_Aliboronz_11:

keep them coming the partys not til September
