Diary of a Wimpy Kid Party Ideas

Is your child a fan of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid book series by Jeff Kinney? The fourth book in the series, Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days, will hit book stores across the country on October 12. In celebration, Waldenbooks and Borders are throwing kids’ book parties to celebrate at their stores on that day at 4 pm.  What a great event for the Columbus Day holiday!

With all sorts of activities on for this party, if you can’t make it to the official book parties at these stores, find inspiration for celebrating with your child and his friends in your own home too.  Check out these ideas:

1. Read the books together.
2. Play Wimpy Kid Trivia based on all 4 books or take it to the next level and have a Trivia Challenge where teams must answer the questions together.
3. Create your own Cartoon Books.  Hand out small notebooks and pencils for the kids to create their own Wimpy Kid stories.
4. Who looks most like the Wimpy Kid? See what your own group thinks.
5. Did you know there are talks of a Diary of a Wimpy Kid movie?  What would your guests like to see in the upcoming show?  Get the discussion going.
6. This Event Kit is packed with more game ideas and trivia questions for your challenge.
7. Play a game of Cheese Touch.
8. What do you think is Greg’s latest scam?  Have the group think one or two up and go into action.
9. Serve jellybeans in honor of Fregley.
10. Serve up Grandma’s favorite junk food … whatever your kids like!

Diary of a Wimpy Kid is hugely popular.  Whether you’re attending a party at the bookstore this weekend or throwing your own party, have a Wimpy good time!
