Party Activities:Pin the Dots on the LadybugDraw a large ladybug on the back of wrapping paper. Color it in except don't add any black dots to the wings. Cut circles out of black construction paper; one per guest. Put a circle of tape on the back and let them try to put the dots on the ladybug. Those that place it onto the wings without it hanging over the edge of the paper or into the black middle section win a small toy or piece of candy. Hot Bug (the hot potato game) Supplies needed a ladybug soft toy and a bell or radio. If you happen to have a stuffed ladybug toy use it as the hot potato. If you don't, you can make one using a red sock stuffed with nylons or a t-shirt. Have the kids stand in a circle and start passing the ladybug around. If using the radio you should have it playing while they are tossing the ladybug. Stop the music and the child holding the ladybug is out. Start the passing again. The game is over when there is only one child left. Fly Away Home (duck, duck, goose) This game is great for starting the party while waiting for everyone to arrive or at the end of the party while waiting for the guests to get picked up. Have the kids sit in a large circle, and have one person be the Ladybug. He/she walks around the outside of the circle tapping each of the other kids on the head saying "Ladybug" each time she taps until eventually saying Fly Away Home. The Fly away kid gets up and chases the Ladybug around the circle. If the Fly away kid tags the Ladybug, the Flay Away kid becomes the Ladybug and the game continues.
