How to Create the Perfect Gum Party

BUBBLE GUM BIRTHDAY PARTY IDEAS: The ideas listed below use gumballs, that doesn’t mean they have to be used at a gumball themed birthday party. All the ideas would fit perfectly into any party. Now that creating a party candy bar is so popular, it has become very easy to find gum balls in colors that match your party theme. For a fun atmosphere use a bubble machine. I have found small ones at Dollar Tree for five dollars.

• RULES: See how many gumballs the player can get in the tiny (shot glass size) solo cups. It’s up to you how many gumballs the player receives. On a 6 foot table, use masking tape to make a line down the center the length of the table. Place the game boards at the end of the table. This game can be played as an individual game or a team game.
• SUPPLIES:
  • 2-11×14 inch wooden framed canvas (foam board would work too)
  • 34 red solo shot glass size cups (about 2-inches tall). This is for two lanes
  • Small gumballs (about a ¼ inch wide)
  • Low temp glue gun and glue sticks
• HOW TO MAKE THE GAME BOARD
  • ELEVATING THE BOARDS: Glue the wide part (the top) of the cup under the game board at the top of the game board (two cups per board).
  • Start at the top of the board, line up 5 cups, glue the cups to the board. Continue down the board creating a pyramid by decreasing the amount of cups for each row. Example: Top row 5 cups, next row 4 cups, the under that 3 cups and so on.
