Ariel Party Ideas

Have a party under the sea with our Ariel Party Ideas!

Ariel’s under the sea adventure is one that all kids, mermaids and fish would love to join (except maybe Sebastian). For your Ariel birthday we would like to invite you to King Triton’s Kingdom. Enjoy playing with Sebastian and Flounder at this unforgettable Little Mermaid Party!

Ariel Party Supplies and Decorations

Use the Colour theme blue, green and teal
Hang white or light blue twinkle lights
Twirl streamers and lots of colour themed and Mylar balloons
Play princess music (from The Little Mermaid movie)
Hang fish of all kinds, or even suspend the bottom of a boat from the ceiling, and hang blue cellophane from the ceiling
Decorate with shells, fish nets ect.
Hang a sign that says “Welcome to ____’s Under the Sea Adventure”
Make Name place tags in the shape of different fish and shells
Add decorative wall stickers. They are so cool. I have used these and they didn’t remove any paint from the walls!

Little Mermaid Party Games
and Ariel Party Activities

Hire an Ariel Princess (or have a friend dress up) to come and teach the girls to properly wave and brush their hair with a dingle hopper (fork), etc.
Check out your local pool if they host Pool Party
Blow bubbles and / or rent a bubble machine
Make / decorate an ocean themed necklace (use colour themed beads, fish and shell beads)
Make a Treasure box. Have shoe boxes for the guests, spray paint them and have the guests decorate them with glitter glue, jewels (you can get lots at the ‘dollar’ type stores), etc. These boxes will all be a unique craft to take home.
Human Treasure Hunt. Hide ‘human’ items and have the guests find them (try this outside so the items are noticeable. E.g. hair brush)
Paper plate craft fish (cut a triangle out for the mouth), jelly fish (plate in half and hang down streamers)
Crab Race (like Crab walk)
Shark tag
Ursula (like octopus) The child who is it, wears the Special Fish Hat “Ursula” and stands in the middle of a large area. The others are all on the outside. The child who is "it" (Ursula) yells “Ursula". The other mermaids (children) have to run to the other side without getting tagged. If tagged they are eaten and attach hands with “Ursula”. When holding hands they will eventually eat all the mermaids in the sea.
Pin the tail or legs on Ariel
Pass the Sea Shell. (Like hot potato)
Ariel, Ariel, Eric! (Like duck, duck, goose)
Ariel Bingo. Easy to make with fish and human pictures or stickers (e.g. shell, mermaid, fish, castle, hair brush, etc.)
