Fishing Birthday parties are great ideas for kids. There are two types of fishing parties -imaginary and real ones. Some fishing parties actually do involve fishing while others are just plain fishy . Your fishing party can cast off with one or more of these great fishy ideas.

Imaginary Fishing Ideas

Ocean Party: All the participants are dressed as either an ocean fish or as one who is planning on landing a catch. There are innovative ideas for free play. For instance, fish tag can be used and whoever is caught will then become the next one to catch a fish.

Mermaid Party: Little girls dressed up as

mermaids will be fun to watch. Though they are not actually going to fish in the sea, they can take turns fishing for candy from a big bowl or container.

Finding Nemo Party: You could arrange whereby one child will be dressed up as Nemo and the others are out to find him. Maybe it might be a good idea to let the birthday child be Nemo. The game would be played like a regular hide-and-seek game.

Real Fishing Ideas:

Go to a Fishing Pond: Take the group of kids to a nearby man-made pond or lake. You can show them how to catch worms or tie bait to the rod. If any fishes are caught, maybe you

can teach the more innovative ones to learn to clean and scale the fish. However of paramount importance is to supervise the kids so that there are no untoward incidents. Maybe it is a good idea to request some parents to go too to help in the supervision, especially in the case of the younger children. Take the opportunity to teach the children about releasing fish below a certain size and the love of the environment as well.

Fishing and Camping Trip: This would involve an overnight trip, so bring along sleeping bags, tents and other camping equipment. This definitely requires supervision and you should ask some other parents to come along too to help. Children can learn to dig

for worms, and to handle a fishing rod. Campfires can be fun with the children singing and even dancing away at night.

If you decide to host a real fishing party, you will need to check with your local city hall or state government. The law might require each and every one of the participants to apply for a special license to be able to fish in a certain area. There could also be age limits on fishing in the area you intend to fish. The age limit could be eight, ten or twelve in some areas, so make sure your party participants can legally do so.

Again make sure the children are well chaperoned. Organize the party far in

advance so that there s ample time for all the preparations. The safety of the children is paramount and can never be over emphasized. If you plan an overnight trip, you may need time to secure a place at a resort or campground.

Prepare as much of the food for the party ahead of time. For example you do not want to get the cake on the morning of the trip. Call in advance to order the pizza if you intend to get take away food. However the most important aspect is the safety of the children and if all the preparations are laid out smoothly, just be prepared to have good, clean fun. Kids will definitely enjoy such trips

and they ll fall for it hook, line and sinker!
