Fun Activities

Chocolate Dipped Strawberries

We recommend that you use both white and dark chocolate to make this treat especially sweet. Begin by heating either white or dark chocolate in a pan. The double boiler method works best because it keeps the chocolate from burning. Taking one strawberry at a time, dip the fruit (with stems still attached) into the chocolate. Dip only half of each strawberry into the chocolate. Lay dipped strawberries on waxed paper to cool. Arrange the strawberries on a fancy platter with a lace paper doily. Repeat the above steps with the other type of chocolate. We guarantee that your guests will feel oh so special when eating these delectable treats!

Party Games

Strawberry. Strawberry Shortcake

This classic children's game is perfect for any party. Gather your guests to sit in a circle and let the birthday child begin as the "Shortcake." He/she walks around the circle tapping each child on the head, saying "Strawberry" with each tap. When he/she is ready to choose the next person to be the Shortcake, he/she says "Shortcake" when tapping that person on the head. That child gets up and chases the birthday child around the circle. If the new Shortcake does not tag the birthday child before he/she makes it all the way around the circle and sits in the open spot, then the new Shortcake becomes "it." If the new Shortcake tags the birthday child, then the birthday child remains "it" for the next round and the game continues.

Pin the Strawberry on the Shortcake

This game can be made theme-specific by pinning any object that is relevant to your party's theme . When it's time to play the game, mount your poster on the wall and place a piece of tape on the back of each object the children will be pinning on the poster. Before each child takes a turn, have them close their eyes, spin them around, and point them toward the poster. The child who pins their object closest to the designated spot, is the winner! You may want to play this game several times to give your guests more chances to win.

Strawberry Jell-O® Eating Contest

Make one bowl of Jell-O for each child (plus have a few extra on hand). Line the bowls along the ground. It's a good idea to place a tablecloth or other protective covering on the ground for easy clean up. Put a character from Strawberry Shortcake's name on each bowl; it'll make calling the race more fun. Each player places their hands on the ground beside their bowl and must keep them there throughout the game. When the command is given to start, all the contestants begin eating their Jell-O. The first one to clean their bowl completely, wins. Be sure to have a camera ready to capture the memorable moments this game is sure to make!
