American Girl Parties

Once a summer, I offer an American Girl Party, which usually features one of the historical American Girls. Each program is generally formatted the same: introductory activities, games, craft and then food. Below is an example of one of the parties.


Addy, an American Girl

We had a Juneteenth celebration for Addy, with crafts, games and food. We started with a little trivia quiz and a Reader's Theater play. Then we moved into some games: a beanbag relay race and a feather game (using a balloon instead). After that we made some mini pies using beads and bottle caps and animal chains out of paper. Then we had some food: watermelon, red soda, sweet potato pie and buttermilk biscuits. Music of the era played in the background the whole time.
