"I love you, you love me. You’re invited to my Barney party!" Create your Barney invitations to look like a Barney Egg! Fold a piece of purple paper in half and cut out an oval shape, so when opened it makes an egg shape. Use a picture of Barney on the inside and decorate with stickers.

Barney Party Supplies and Decorations

• Decorate with purple, green, and yellow balloons and streamers

• Hang posters of the characters from Barney (Barney, Baby Bop, B.J., Riff etc.).

• Create large purple “Dinosaur” footprints, and place them on the floor or leading up to the house. Your guest will think they are walking up a red carpet, excitedly hopping along the dinosaur feet.

• Create a welcome sign for when your guests enter the party. Have a cute slogan like... "with a great big hug and a wish from me to you. Our friend ___  (name) is turning ___ (age). Have a picture with your star birthday child with Barney and friends.

• Use a purple table cloth, with yellow plates and green cutlery 

Barney Birthday Party Games & Activities

• Barney Says (Like Simon Says): Have an adult go first to show how the game is played. Then have the children take turns.

• Musical Eggs: Make purple egg cut-outs and place them on the ground. Make enough for each guest. Play some music. When the music stops each child must then find an egg to stand on. Start the music again, but this time take away one egg. When the music stops again, the player who did not get to stand on an egg is out. Remove one egg per turn until there is only on player left.

• Pin the party hat on Barney

• Duck, duck, dinosaur! Like regular duck, duck, goose, but when the "dinosaur" is tagged, they roar like a dinosaur. At the end, you can award the guest who had the best roar.

• Barney Walk: Get some bubble wrap and place it on the ground. Then have the children try and walk across without popping any. Then try different ways like crawling or rolling.

• Create a photo booth - for the backdrop use a cut up table cloth. This will give depth to your pictures. Around the top blow up a balloon header with purple and green balloons. In front or on the side use either hay bales or wooden crates and have a mix of flowers in and on top. Do a different mixture like ferns and mums. Have a basket of items to pose with. For instance, feather boas, large silly glasses, tutu, and stuffed animal characters to pose along side. 

• Rent a real Barney character to entertain your guests at the party.

• Have an entertainer come that can do magic or balloon animals. Your guests will be thrilled to have something to take home from the entertainment portion of your Barney party.

• Making Barney's Favorite Food: Having a baking/cooking break is always fun to make the guests feel included. You can see if your guests want to help make and taste Barney's favorite, which is a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with a glass of milk on the side.

• Barney Sing Along: There are many different songs in the shows and movies of Barney, do you think your guests know the words? Play some songs and have everyone sing along and extra points for the best dance moves!
