1. Cast a Spell at This Wizard-Themed Sleepover
Abracadabra! Do you want to give your young
Wizard a party to remember? Throw a Wizard-
themed sleepover and make the magic come to life.
Here are a few ideas to get you started.
First, the Invitations
Roughly two weeks before the party, you’ll want to
invite your guests over for a spellbound night of fun.
For invitations, dye pieces of cardstock with tea bags to give a worn effect. Once the paper has
dried, use fun calligraphy to write the details of the party, requesting that your child’s Wizard friends
wear their favorite magic pajamas. Add glitter and roll into a magic scroll with ribbon for a fun twist!
Prepping for the Party
The day before the party, you’ll want to get everything set up for a night of spell-casting. Start off
with everyone’s favorite: food.
Create a magical potion for guests by putting a couple of drops of food coloring into three or four
different pitchers of lemon-lime soda. The kids can mix and match their drinks to create kooky
potions.
For dinner, serve sandwiches or slices of pizza cut with a star-shaped cookie cutter to keep up the
magical theme. Add carrot sticks, celery, and broccoli as a means of Mana Energy.
For dessert, create mystical cupcakes. Homemade or store-bought, add a Wizard’s flair to
colorfully frosted cupcakes with sprinkles, edible glitter, and a pretzel stick as a wand. For older
Wizards, set up a cupcake-decorating station with all of the ingredients for conjuring up an
enchanting snack to get them excited for the night ahead.

2. It’s Game Time!
Entertain the kids with this variation on a popular party game. Instead of pinning a tail on a donkey,
the kids will Pin the Wand on the Wizard. Draw or print a large picture of a Wizard (Merle Ambrose,
anyone?), and give the kids Popsicle sticks with their names on one side and double-sided tape on
the other. Blindfold each kid one at a time and spin them around before they try to get the wand as
close as they can to the Wizard’s hand.
After a fun game of Pin the Wand on the Wizard, give each kid a plain dowel rod and set up a
“wand shop,” a table where the kids can decorate their wands. Provide paint, glitter, sequins,
and even tinsel icicles as “unicorn hair.” The kids will have a blast conjuring up their own spells with
their one-of-a-kind wands.
Next up is a fun game of Wizard-themed Mad Libs. Write descriptions of popular wizard stories (or
your own!), such as the tale of King Arthur or the plot of Harry Potter. Then replace important words
with blanks labeled with things like “funny noise,” “Wizard name,” “favorite food,” etc. Encourage
the kids to have fun and use Wizard-themed words and phrases to fill in the blanks for an
enchanting story.

3. Winding Down for the Night
With so many exciting things to do during the course of your child’s slumber party, you’ll need true
magic to get all the kids to settle down. You can unlock this achievement by planning the evening
accordingly, with quieter activities, such as the word games or a movie, at the end of the evening.
There are lots of great, age-appropriate Wizard movies to help you get the kids ready for bedtime.
For younger Wizards, go with a classic like Disney’s “The Sword in the Stone,” or perhaps “The
Wizard of Oz.” For kids who are old enough, the “Harry Potter” and “Lord of the Rings” movies are
other Wizard favorites.
Taking these tips and adding your own creative flair will certainly help create a memorable party for
your favorite Wizards. Happy party planning!
