Flame On! Setting the Scene with Decorations

The first step to bringing the world of Berk to life is creating the perfect atmosphere. Think lush greenery, Viking settlements, and of course, dragons soaring through the sky! Here are some ideas to get you started:

Dragon Dens and Viking Villages: Transform your party space into a Viking village. Drape green sheets or cloths to create makeshift tents. Cardboard boxes can be easily decorated to resemble Viking houses. Scatter toy axes,shields, and helmets around for an extra touch.
Toothless Takes Flight: No dragon party is complete without Toothless! Cut out large paper silhouettes of Toothless and other dragons from the movie. Hang them from the ceiling or stick them on walls to create a soaring dragon effect.
Fire and Fury (the Safe Kind!) Fairy lights strung across the room can add a magical touch. For a fiery ambiance,use orange, red, and yellow balloons.

Fun Party Activities

Now that the scene is set, it’s time for some epic games and activities! Here are a few ideas to get your little Vikings moving and having fun:

Pin the Tail on the Dragon: Give this classic party game a draconic twist! Create a large picture of Toothless (minus his tail) and cut out separate paper tails for the kids to pin on blindfolded.
Treasure Hunt with a Twist: Hide toy Viking helmets, shields, and gold coins (chocolate coins work perfectly!) around the house or garden. Create a treasure map to guide the children on their quest!
Dragon Training Academy: Set up an obstacle course where the kids can test their Viking skills. Use pillows,blankets, and chairs to create a challenging course they can navigate.
Craft Corner: Make Your Own Hiccup’s Prosthetic Tail Gather pool noodles, pipe cleaners, and felt or construction paper. You can even add a cardboard eye patch for extra Hiccup flair!

Fueling Up for Dragon Adventures: Food and Drinks

No adventure is complete without delicious food! Here are some fun and thematic food ideas to keep your little Vikings energized:

Cloud Bread: These light and fluffy rolls look like little clouds, perfect for a Viking feast!
Meatballs with “Fire Sauce” (ketchup): These bite-sized treats are easy to grab and go, perfect for hungry dragon trainers.
Fish Sticks Fit for a Viking: Fish sticks are a classic crowd-pleaser and can be easily themed as “Viking Fish.”
Drinks fit for Valhalla: Offer a variety of juices and sodas. You can even label them with fun Viking-themed names like “Odin’s Fury” (red fruit punch) or “Valkyrie’s Delight” (lemonade).
