Fun Ideas for a Dora the Explorer Party A fun idea for a Dora the Explorer party is to have an adult dress up as Swiper. Let them hide until it is time to tell the children what he has swiped and hidden (see Dora the Explorer treasure hunt below) so the children will be surprised. Swiper should be dressed in grey with blue gloves and a blue mask. Paint on a black nose and whiskers with face paint. Dora the Explorer Party Games Scavenger / Treasure Hunt Make a fun scavenger / treasure hunt for the birthday party guests. Let the guests use clues to search for missing or stolen (Swiper!) objects from the birthday party. Before the party: Decide on what objects will be missing that the children have to find. Good ideas for missing objects are: cake candles, the birthday cake itself, flatware, balloons, blowers / horns, or the presents. Hide several of these items and let the children search for them and then pick them up and carry them on the journey. When you have decided where the items will be hidden make a list of their locations. Also make a list of where you will hide the objects - add several places that items won't be hidden but that will be part of the treasure hunt. Number these hiding places on your list. Place the clues around the party area so that one clue will lead to the next and so on. Hide small party favors along the way that the children can take home with them. Some suggestions are party hats, rings, blowers / horns, magnifying glasses, etc. To make the hunt last longer you can make the children have to perform a task before they can get the next clue. Fun ideas are: build a tower of blocks, sing a nursery rhyme, say the alphabet backwards, etc. For fun you can decorate the house and yard into different areas that will give them a clue where to look. For example: Hang wrapped candies from a tree and call it the 'sugar tree'. Place large lollipops in the yard (poke the stick into the ground) and call it the 'lollipop forest'. Decorate a room in blue for the 'shimmering lake' or brown for a 'cave'. Decide what you want Swiper to swipe from the party. The cake or the presents are always fun. ![]() Make sure the children see the cake on the table or the presents lined up before they are swiped. Distract them with a game in another room and move the cake or presents (or both!) to their hiding spot. ![]() Dora The Explorer Party IdeasThen announce that it's time to open presents.
