Shrek Party Decorations
Hang bright green, gold and purple balloons and streamers,
As with any party, how extravagantly you decorate depends on your time and budget. I've listed a few suggestions:
Poster board cut and decorated to look like castle windows
A poster on the Door saying: Welcome to the land of
Far Far Away
Cut out poster board to look like Shrek and Fiona's
carriage (garlic clove).
Shrek 3 items are easy to find right now...purchase posters and
toys to use for decorations and then they can be played with later.
Cover your table with a bright yellow table cloth. Scatter green sequins
all around the top. Run strips of green and purple streamers down the
center to create a table runner.
If your party is for young children, build a castle using a large appliance
box and small boxes on-top. Cut a door and windows. Paint the entire
castle with gray paint. The children can use this for playtime and you'll
be able to keep for your lucky birthday child!

Shrek Birthday Party Games

Pin the Wings on the Donkey
Just like Pin the Tail on the Donkey, but you'll need to make wings with construction paper or craft foam sheets. Enlist an artistic teen to draw a Donkey on poster board ... they are much cuter that the
donkey in the traditional game.

Prince Charming Tag
Designate a Prince Charming. That player will wear a crown.
When you say go...the children will try to catch the Prince.
Be sure to change the prince often and to insist the children play kindly.

Cupcake Walk
Let guests draw and color a picture of their favorite Shrek character on squares of heavy paper (approx. 12” x 12”). Tape the squares to the floor in a circle, using one fewer than the number of participants.
The birthday child gets to help you start and stop the music at appropriate times during the game. When the music starts, the kids walk from square to square—and when the music stops, the person left without a square is out of the game but gets a Down & Dirty Cupcake treat. Play continues until one player is left. Award a prize to the winner, along with a tasty cupcake.

Find the True King
Create a treasure hunt to find the true king, using some of the fun puns
and characters in the movie. Each clue will lead to another, until the players end at a picture of the true king and their hidden party favors.
Cut images and glue them onto 3x5 cards with the clue written on the card
Suggested images: Snow White, Cinderella, Rapunzel, Fiona, Donkey, knights armoire, sword etc.
