Baseball Birthday Party

Baseball Birthday Party Ideas & Decorations

For a Baseball Birthday Party base your color scheme & decorations on the birthday boys favorite team. If he doesn't have a favorite team then use your favorite or decorate in a general baseball theme. Purchase Baseball Theme Party Supplies, such as plates, cups, napkins and invitations in either your team logo or general baseball decorations. Also, check out these great Baseball Centerpieces!

Decorate with baseball pennants, Baseball Banners and posters on the wall (your child's favorite player if he has one). Balloons always add an inexpensive but huge design element. Use colors that match your team or the decorations you purchased. Also, add a few of these cute Baseball Balloons, or check out these Baseball Balloons.

Continue your baseball birthday party theme by hanging a sports pennant down the back of each chair.

Use styrofoam balls as place settings. Put the party guests names on them.

Turn plastic baseball hats upside down, and use them as serving bowls for snacks such as chips, pretzels and popcorn.

Use baseball gloves as centerpieces with baseball theme party balloons tied to them.

Give out baseball hats as party hats when your guest arrive.

Have all the guests sign a baseball or glove for the birthday boy.

Baseball Birthday Party Activities

The activities for a baseball party vary based on the age of the birthday boy!

5 year olds

Hot Baseball - Play the same way as Hot Potato except using a baseball. Here's how it goes: 1) begin play by placing all the children in a circle, 2) pass a baseball around the circle as quickly as possible, 3) while the baseball is being passed, music is being played (play baseball music like "Take me out to the ball park"), 4) when the music stops whoever is holding the baseball is eliminated from the circle, 5) the last person in the circle is the winner.

10 year olds

Hold a baseball trivia contest and give out prizes.

Play a game of baseball.

Make personal trading cards. Take Polaroid’s of each child. Set up a crafts station and allow the kids to create trading cards with their photo. Provide card stock paper. Have the kids paste their pictures to the paper and create their own stats. Just like a real baseball card.

All ages

Baseball themed piñata and use a wiffle ball bat as the piñata stick.

Give out baseball trading cards as prizes then let the kids trade for the ones they want.

Balloon Baseball - Using a balloon the children need to pass it around and keep it from touching the floor. Use a water balloon if you are outside.

Ball Toss - Use a softball or Nerf ball and have the kids toss it either at a target (for older kids) or through a hula hoop (younger kids).
