Charity Party
A charity party is a great way to have fun and help others. It can be themed on giving back by volunteering or putting together donations. Choose a charity that your children are interested in supporting such as an animal shelter if your children like animals, or an organization that helps children. Then contact the charity to find out what they need. Ask guests to make a donation to a charity in lieu of a gift. For example, you could ask guests to bring canned food for a food bank or unwanted clothes, toys, or books for a charity. At the party, you could make cards for children at a children's hospital.

Olympics Party
Olympics is an international sports event that began in ancient Greece. Make your own flags for several different countries for decorations. The Olympic symbol is five interlaced rings of the colors blue, yellow, black, green and red. It represents the five continents of the world, united by the Olympics. Make the Olympic rings symbol by cutting out the center of paper plates to make rings and color them. For opening ceremonies, make a torch out of rolled paper with red and yellow tissue paper flames sticking out. Take turns passing the torch around. Make your own medals by cutting circles out of cardboard and coloring them gold, silver, and bronze. Poke a hole through the medals and tie yarn through them to make necklaces. Have races, hurdles (set up an obstacle course where you have to jump over something), relays (each person runs a lap around the yard and then passes off the baton to the next runner), and discus (see who throws a Frisbee the farthest). Prepare international food to represent some of the different countries that participate in the Olympics. Make gold medal peanut butter cookies.
