Nascar Party

Nascar Party Ideas & Decorations

Begin decorating with Nascar party items such as themed party supplies. Then use the black and white checkered flag as inspiration for the rest of your decorations such as checkered tablecloths. Use black and white streamers and balloons and hang checkered pennant flags on the walls.

Another idea for tablecloths is to use white butcher paper and draw roads on it. Then allow the kids to drive matchbox cars on the tables.

Another great touch for a Nascar Birthday Party is to decorate with posters of the birthday boys favorite race cars and don't forget the animated kind such as Lightening McQeen!

Use toy cars as centerpieces and tie black and white balloons to them. Scatter matchbox cars around the tables.

Tie black and white balloons to old tires and use as decoration in front of the house or along the pathway.

Using cardboard or poster board to create road and racing signs such as a stop sign, yield sign, speed limit (can be the birthday child's age), pit stop, etc. Attach some of the signs to stakes and put them in the yard.

Use clean empty oil bottles as balloon weight. Fill them with water and tie black and white balloons to them.

Nascar Birthday Party Activities

Racing Cars - You will need 2 remote control cars (if you have to buy the cars then they can serve as another gift for the birthday boy or you can raffle them at the end of the party). Create an obstacle course for the cars to race. Put items in the cars path so they will have to maneuver around them. Have 2 children compete racing the cars. The car that navigates the course the fastest while completing all the obstacles wins a prize.

Tread Maker - Provide the children with cars, paper and washable paint. Have the children dip their car's tires in the paint and roll them on the paper to see the tires tread marks. They can trade cars and make different designs on their paper. The kids can take their artwork home after the party.

License plates - Provide poster board the size of license plates and allow the kids to decorate them. Provide markers, paint, glitter, beads, glue, etc. Tell the kids to all pick a state and a snappy name for their customized license plate.

Gift Truck - Fill the back of a dump truck with small gifts. Play music and have the kids pass the dump truck. When the music stops the child holding the dump truck gets to pick a gift. Make sure you have enough gifts for all the children.

Tire Roll - Divide the children into 2 teams. Give each team a tire. Have a child from each team roll the tire to a determined point and back to pass the tire to the next child. Which ever team has all the children roll the tire first wins.

Flag Fun - Prior to the party create 3 flags using dowels and cloth. You will need a red, yellow and green flag. Use the flags to direct the children from 1 location to the next. The green flag means run, the yellow flag means go slow and the red flag means stop. Whoever gets to the location first wins.
