• Feed Toothless The Dragon ~ Shared by SUSAN from HAZEL GREEN, AL I’m making the head of a dragon with a medium sized box with teeth in the opening to look like the open mouth of the dragon. Using either bean bags you already have or I am sewing a basic fish shaped bean bag using blue & green fabric. The kids stand behind the line and try to get as many of the fish in the mouth of the dragon as they can. The one who feeds toothless the most fish wins.

• Pin the tail on Toothless - Have a cut out of toothless and have your blindfolded guests try to pin the tail on toothless. To blindfold the guests they could wear a large viking helmet that covers their face.
