Curious George Party Invitations

On the fun Curious George party invitation idea, write out a cute phrase like, “come monkey around with ____ and his/her Curious George party”.

  • Monkey head cutout - take a piece of brown 6 x 9 inch construction paper and draw out a monkey head. Make one large circle in the middle (for the head), two smaller circles, one on each side (for ears), and a little hair on top. Then, cut out an outline of the monkey face using light brown construction paper and write your party information inside.

Curious George Party Games and Activities

  • Face Painting Hire a face painter to decorate the guests into their favorite animal
  • Paper Bag Monkey Easy simple craft. You need paper bags, pre-cut ears, face, nose, eyes, and tail. Let the guests glue the pieces in the right area.
  • Make a kite Let the guests make a kite. Need large paper, string (for the tail), and markers to color.
  • Fly a kite Hint – get a large scale kite and make sure it has a long heavy tail – it will fly better.
  • Curious Who Play a game of animal charades (pre-make cards with animal pictures)
  • Monkey See Monkey Do Play like Simon Says
  • Hot Banana Play like hot potato
  • Pin the Tail on the Monkey or Pin the Hat on the Man with the Yellow Hat
  • Musical Chairs Play with the music from the Curious George Soundtrack
  • Monkey in the Middle Have guests form a circle and put one of the monkeys in the middle – toss a ball and the monkey will try to catch it away from the people in the circle. If they get the ball the person that was supposed to catch the ball will become the monkey in the middle.
  • Ring Toss - have yellow pylons and throw black bands around them (it looks like the hat worn by The Man in the Yellow Hat)
  • Monkey Makeover Get large sheets of painting paper from a large store (e.g., Ikea) and let the guests go crazy painting. Remember in the movie how George paints on the wall of Ms. Plushbottom’s and how great it looks. If you are really brave you could let them do one wall in your playroom. What a great memory piece from your child’s birthday.
  • Watch the birthday episode from season 14, episode 14 where Curious George gets a surprise party on a train.
