Stick to the party theme and create invitations that look like ice skating. You can have your child decorate each skate before sending it to a friend. Be sure to include whether the party is indoors or outdoors so the kids can dress accordingly. Another fun idea is to stick to the Birthday on Ice theme. Create invitations that look like tickets to your child’s birthday on ice.

ice skating birthday party games
* After the children have changed into their skates, have them stack the shoes in a large pile. After skating time is over, line up the children. One by one, blindfold them and see if they can pull their shoes out of the mountain. A child who chooses shoes correctly wins a special prize.
* Freeze Skate is a fun skating game. Let the kids skate to their favorite music and every time the music stops they have to freeze in place!
* Ekiden is always fun. Divide the children into two teams. Set a start line and finish line, have her one child from each team compete, and start the next child when her teammates return. The first team to complete the ice skating race wins.
ice skating birthday party favors
* Have the birthday girl or boy pick a thermos and have enough for each child at the party. Make her chocolate hot by putting chocolate kisses and ingredients in a thermos. Have your child create small thank you notes and tie the thank you notes to each thermos with a ribbon.
* Mittens are a cute and easy favor! Choose from a variety of colors and let the kids choose what they like when they leave. Tie your mittens in gratitude.
* Create your own icicle cones and give them as a favor. They are easy to make and kids will love them. Dip sugar cones in melted white chocolate and place on wax paper until chocolate is completely dry and hard. Stuff the cone with white chocolate chips and mini marshmallows. Wrap the cone in cellophane and tie it with a ribbon of your favorite color. Add a name tag or thank you card to each cone.
