Educational Sesame Street Party
By:Gail Leino

Teachers can easily make use of the Sesame Street characters to throw a nice Sesame Street party in the classroom. Just about every kid likes to watch the television show and just about every adult carries nostalgic memories of watching Sesame Street when it first came on television.

You can add a little fun to the party with cool activities and interesting decorations. Get a bunch of yellow boas and hand them out to the kids. It will remind everyone of Big Bird and his yellow feathers. While you are at it you can pick up red and blue boas to match the colors of the other Sesame Street characters on television.

Have a game of pin the beak on Big Bird for the kids. It’s of course very similar to pin the tail on the donkey. You can just draw a basic outline of Big Bird on a large piece of paper and loosely color it in with yellow marker. Use a piece of yellow-orange construction paper for his beak.

Bring in cookies and juice for the kids to eat at the party. You can have a contest to see who eats most like the Cookie Monster. Other contests that are suitable for the Sesame Street party are word games and numbers games. A word search puzzle makes a great game to put into the classroom.

Don’t forget to gather up videos of the television show. This can be a good way to pass the time during the school day. Have episodes of Sesame Street interspersed between the activities for the kids.

Kids can even help to decorate the room for the party with hand drawn pictures of the Sesame Street characters. You can pick up some Mylar balloons with pictures of the Sesame Street characters and plates, napkins and even a tablecloth if you have an extra table in the classroom.
