LEGO Party Games

Each LEGO birthday party game has its own short description making it easy to find the perfect game for your child’s party. There are also helpful directions and a supply list that make set and game play easier and that parents will love.

Skee Ball Toss – This is always a popular game choice for any children’s parties! But why not make it more interesting with a LEGO twist? Kids will love trying to toss the building bricks into the circles to get the highest points for their team.

Pin the LEGO Head – Played much like a traditional pin the tail on the donkey game. Each child gets a chance to put his or her blindfold on and then try to pin the LEGO head on the minifigure’s body.

LEGO Relay Race – Spoon race is a classic game. Using spoons and building bricks, create a LEGO themed relay race for your kids and their friends. Kids will love seeing who can get their pieces across the line and build the tower the fastest!

Building Challenge – A classic game that is now even better with a LEGO twist! Use the PDF of challenge cards to give the kids a building challenge and a time limit and see what they come up with. Each player will have the same number and kind of blocks to complete the challenge. You can give small prizes for the creations like “tallest creation”, “most unique build” and “most LEGO bricks used” for added excitement.

Mini Figure Knockdown – The classic-style game is turned into a fun LEGO destroying challenge! Players will use NERF guns or water blasters to knock down as many LEGO man mini-figures as possible within the time limit.

Tallest Tower – How tall can your LEGO tower go? Players will race the clock and other players, stacking their bricks to see who gets the highest tower and is declared the winner! For a variation, kick the game up a notch and have the players wear blindfolds!

LEGO Chopstick Shuffle – A simple challenge, but a fun one with a twist! Give each player a bowl or pile of bricks and an empty bowl. Set the timer, and have them use only the chopsticks to transfer the LEGO blocks to the empty bowl. The player with the most building bricks in the second bowl when the timer goes off, wins!

These entertaining games are sure to make your child’s party one the kids will be talking about for weeks! Best of all, you likely have most of the supplies – LEGO pieces!

Invite your guests into a world of fun with these amazing LEGO party activities & games. From a LEGO building challenge to LEGO car racing, relay race style games and more!

Strong Mom Quotes

March 16, 2022 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Facebook, Instagram, Parenting, Pinterest, Printable, Social Media Leave a Comment

Have a strong mom? Encourage her with these short mom quotes. This adorable mom quote printable is perfect for a mother’s birthday, Mother’s day or just because.

Being a mom isn’t for the weak. It’s a lot of hard work, but it’s also incredibly rewarding. A strong mom is one who can handle anything that comes her way, even when things get tough.

It’s no secret moms were created with some type of super human strength – both physically, emotionally and mentally. While I (a mom of five) don’t have the strength to lift a car, I can birth humans (in my case – accidently unmedicated, barely on a table.) While, I love good sleep I have an ability to make it day after day with interrupted nights.

The strength of a mother is powerful and sometimes events are placed our lives that require us to be physically and emotionally present and all of a sudden we are presented with super hero strength we did not realize we were able to muster. As Barbara Kingsolver once said, “sometimes the strength of motherhood is greater than natural laws.”

Children come into our lives in so many ways, you don’t have to have given birth to be a mother. No matter what your mom situation is, the fact of the matter is that if someone depends on you, you’re a momma.

Celebrate Mom with Strong Mom Quotes

Whether it’s Mother’s Day, mom’s birthday or mom is just overdue for some extra love, these strong mom quotes are a great way to remind the woman who raised you how much she means to you.

“A mother’s love is something that no one can explain, it’s something that you have to feel. It’s the passion of a thousand suns burning inside of you.” – Unknown

“The best place to cry is on a mother’s arms.” – Jodi Picoult

“We have a secret in our culture, and it’s not that birth is painful. It’s that women are strong.” – Laura Stavoe Harm.

“The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new.” – Rajneesh

“Motherhood is a choice you make every day to put someone else’s happiness and well-being ahead of your own, to teach someone else that life isn’t always about what you want.” – Mandy Hale

“A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when misfortune takes the place of happiness; when we are deserted by the world, and our friends in whom we trusted, have proved unworthy of our confidence. A mother’s love is then most needed, and most tender.” – Washington Irving

“A mother understands what a child does not say.” – Jewish Proverb

“Motherhood is a choice you make every day, to put someone else’s happiness and well-being ahead of your own. To teach the hard lessons, to do the right thing, even when you’re not sure what the right thing is to forgive yourself over and over again for doing everything wrong.” – Donna Ball

“One of the greatest titles in the world is parent, and one of the biggest blessings in the world is to be one.” – Jim Gaffigan

“A mom’s hug lasts long after she lets go.” – Unknown

“A mother is she who can take the place of all others but whose place no one else can take.” – Unknown

“All that I am or ever hope to be, I owe to my angel mother.” – Abraham Lincoln

“The heart of a mother is a deep abyss at the bottom of which you will find forgiveness.” – Honore de Balzac

“It is not until you become a mother that your judgment slowly turns to compassion and understanding.” – Erma Bombeck.

Strong Mother Quotes

As someone who has walked the walk of being a single mom, I wanted to share a few verses of encouragement. That circumstances in that season of time was one of my hardest. If you find yourself in times of stress, be encouraged by some of these strong single mother quotes.

“There is no way to be the perfect mother but a million ways to be a good one.” – Jill Churchill.

“Successful mothers are not the ones that have never struggled. They are the ones that never give up, despite the struggles.” – Sharon Jaynes.

“To describe my mother would be to write about a hurricane in its perfect power. Or the climbing, falling colors of a rainbow.” – Maya Angelou.

“Any mother could do the jobs of several air traffic controllers with ease.” – Lisa Alther

“Not only am I a fighter, but I’m a survivor. I think being a mother really plays into that.” – Willow Cross

“A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts.” -Washington Irving

Hey Google, Call Mom

Being a mom doesn’t mean you’re perfect, it means you do your best. You feel more deeply, you love harder. You’re strong when you don’t want to be and show that it’s okay to be vulnerable.

Celebrate your mom with a simple phone call, text, or visit to remind her that she is loved. And if you don’t live near your mom, take a few minutes to tell her how much you appreciate all she’s done for you.

No matter what, a strong mom is always there for her children. So thank your mom for everything she’s done for you and let her know how much you love her with encouraging mom quotes.

Strong Mom Printable

To help you celebrate your amazing mom, we made this Strong Mom printable. Just download, print and frame the strong mom quote. I personally keep mine by my kitchen sink. Each time I am doing dishes (yes, millions and millions of dishes – usually my kids) I am able to view this quote.

Are you exhausted?

Me too, but we’ve got this.

I’m choosing to be thankful in this moment because it means we’re making a difference.

Remember, you are doing an amazing job!

It’s easy to put together, doesn’t cost much (even for a broke college kid!) and she’ll love to hang it up somewhere special to remind her of how awesome you think your mom is!

This strong mom printable PDF is also a great gift from one mom to another. Nothing feels better than knowing you’re not alone when it comes to raising children. Download the printable here and make sure to let the moms around you know you love them and appreciate them with strong mom quotes that they can hang up and read every day!

Stay Strong, Mom!

There is no perfect mother. In fact a good mother knows her imperfections. In fact, to quote Arianna Huffington “The fastest way to break the cycle of perfectionism and become a fearless mother is to give up the idea of doing it perfectly – indeed to embrace uncertainty and imperfection.”

If you are here today because you are also an exhausted mom, I get it. As a mom of five, I am also asked which number kid is the hardest. Honestly, each kid is unique and comes with their own joys and challenges. However, for me the answer to this question is always the same “the first is the hardest.”

If you are here, you are a mom. In that case, you at least have one. Hugs mama, it’s hard but you are strong. Remember, even in the day to day challenge, you are in this place, the present. And the present is the gift of your child(ren) even on days where you might not feel it.

XO Mom – Stay Strong!

What is a Bucket List?

A bucket list can be anything from things you want to do, places you want to go or people you want to see this time of year. For many people, a bucket list is a list of activities they would like to accomplish as a family. For others, a bucket list can include things to do before you die.

A bucket list can be short, like for a period of time like a season . Your list can be seasonal like a Christmas bucket list, or be made up of all the things that are unique to the months of March, April, and May. It can also be long like fun things you would like to accomplish in a lifetime.

The list can focus on indoor activities, things to do on vacation, or even over a school break Share these activities with others or make them solo. There’s really no limit to what you can put on your personalized bucket list or family bucket list.

One fun way to welcome the new season is to get outdoors and take in fresh air. Warmer weather opens up the list of ideas and outdoor activities you can do together.

Plan the perfect wine tasting party with these helpful tips and hilarious party games that will have your party guests talking about for years to come!

If you’re looking for a great way to spend an evening with friends, family or colleagues then consider throwing a wine tasting party. Plan a few classy wine tasting games, add some small bites that complement the wine flavors, and a delicious dessert and you have one amazing party that will have all the guests raving!

Which types of wine should I serve?

A sparkling wine is always a great way to start the night while people are arriving. Next, a nice white wine is fantastic and pairs well with a variety of foods (think savory appetizers). Reds are heavier in flavor so best for dinner parties or later in the evening when people have already eaten or paired with a dessert. Consider serving one red and one white to your guests if you’re not sure which they’ll prefer.

What should I serve while tasting?

A lot of people might think wine tasting is all about the wine, but it’s just as important to have something to go with it! If you’re hosting this kind of party at home, take some time beforehand to plan out what foods will match up best with each type of wine you’re serving.

For a wine & cheese party, serve light appetizers like cheese plates or olives when there are still plenty of gaps between courses so that no one feels too full after eating. Choose flavors that compliment the type of wines. For example, cheese like brie goes great with light white wines, goat’s milk ricotta tastes amazing with bolder whites and blueberries go perfect with sweet dessert wines.

Put together a charcuterie board with cheeses, grapes on the vine, pickles, olives, a few varieties of crackers and prosciutto for an impressive spread that your guests will love. You can also make individual charcuterie board jars or small plates that are served with each wine, to make sure the tastings match up seamlessly.

It’s also great to have a nice dessert to finish off the night. Try a sweet treat that pairs well with wine like tiramisu or a fruit tart.

Wine Tasting Games

What a party without entertainment and tons of laughs? Take the stress out of planning and grab these fun, printable wine tasting games for a great night that your guests (and you!) are sure to enjoy.

Included are also cards for taking notes and scoring your favorite wines. You don’t have to use all of these games, but pick a few that will work best with the people you invited and your budget. The five page set includes beautiful colors and a list of supplies that make it easy to shop.

Some favorite games included in the printable set:

I’m Going to a Bar- Similar to “Going on a Bear Hunt” this fun game will test your memory and rhythm skills which makes for a hilarious time, especially after a few cocktails!

Straight Face- Try not to laugh when these silly phrases are read aloud. See who has the best poker face as your guests try not to crack a smile.

You’ll need pencils, strips of paper, a bucket or basket (optional) to put the strips of paper in to play this funny game.

Defy Gravity– Guaranteed to challenge your skills, the goal of this game is to keep balloons in the air longer than your opponents!

Prosecco Pong– Classy pong? Yes, please! For this game you’ll need a larger space to set up the plastic wine glasses, ping pong balls, and extra bottles of prosecco.

Heads Up– Using your phone, download the ‘Heads Up’ app to play this guessing game.

Planning a great party

Host a memorable wine tasting party with fun games and provide an opportunity to try new wines. But before you start planning, here are some tips on how to throw a successful party:

Choose plate and decoration colors that look nice with wine colors like pink, maroon, red, or even a black or gold accent.
Make sure there are enough seats or stools available in each area of the house where people might want to sit down, focusing on the area where games will be played.
Invite friends who like similar things as yourself
If possible, ask what guests’ dietary restrictions are ahead of time – it’ll save you from having to offer a bunch of different options
Don’t drink too much before people arrive! You’ll be stuck hosting things without even being present for half the event. Keep one glass on hand so guests know that they can get something to drink when needed, but don’t add more than two glasses – this will prevent you from becoming too tipsy as well.
Keep extra chairs around in case someone has an unexpected guest show up at the last minute. No one wants to feel like you weren’t expecting them.

I hope these tips along with our wine and cheese party games help you plan the perfect night for your friends and family. For more wine and cheese party ideas that don’t break the bank, check out this post for more ideas to make your gathering your guests are talking about for years to come.

For a fun Easter activity for the kids, download this Resurrection Eggs printable with Bible verses about Christ’s resurrection. These Easter scripture cards tell the Easter story. Pair with one dozen plastic Easter eggs for a cute Christian Easter craft.

As our family traditions begin to take shape, I have tried to be very intention about not getting lost in the commercial of the season. Easter has turned into bunnies, chicks and baskets of Candy. Sometimes it’s easy to get lost in the “reason for the season” hence the purpose for this printable resurrection eggs story.

What are resurrection eggs?

Resurrection eggs connect Easter eggs with the true meaning of the season. One dozen plastic eggs can quickly tell the Easter story through scripture verses found in the Gospels. Each egg is opened revealing a new Bible verse card and image.

There are a few ideas for how to use resurrection eggs. These can be uses for Christian teaching, telling the Easter story to your family, or even for an Easter egg hunt at home.

How to make DIY resurrection eggs at home

While there are places where you can find resurrection eggs, make your own homemade resurrection eggs instead using supplies you have around the house.

What goes in resurrection eggs?

In our resurrection eggs booklet PDF we give you all you need for your kit. This includes resurrection eggs printable bible verses and photos. The only resurrection eggs materials you need to provide are 12 plastic Easter eggs and an egg carton.

Supplies

12 Plastic Eggs
An Egg Carton
Permanent Marker – to number to eggs

Optional Supplies

However, there are a few supplies you can add to your resurrection eggs kit to “jazz it up!”

Leaf – outdoor or bay leaf to represent a palm branch at Jesus’ triumphal entry
Coins – 3 silver coins to represent Judas Iscariot’s betrayal of Jesus for 30 pieces of silver
Cracker – to represent the bread at the Last Supper
Scroll – a tiny piece of paper rolled into a scroll to represent Jesus’ prayer in the garden
Whip – a piece of leather or thick fabric to represent the soldier’s whipping Jesus
Crown – a tiny crown made from grass or a flower stem to represent the crown of thorns
Nails – 2 nails glues in a cross to represent the nails and the cross
Dice – a die to represent the soldier’s casting lots for Jesus’ clothes
Toothpick – a toothpick with one end broken off to represent the spear piercing Jesus’ side
Cloth – a scrap of cheesecloth or fabric (to represent Joseph wrapping Jesus in linen cloth)
Stone – a rock to represent the stone rolled in front of the tomb

These optional materials can be placed inside your plastic eggs with the accompanying scripture card. The 12th egg will remain empty for the empty tomb.

Resurrection Eggs Bible Verses

Since you are doing the Easter story with kids, we placed the resurrection eggs scriptures in ERV version. This is the Easy-to-Read bible version.

Matthew 21:9 – Some of the people were walking ahead of Jesus. Others were walking behind him. They all shouted, “Praise to the Son of David! ‘Welcome! God bless the one who comes in the name of the Lord!’ Praise to God in heaven!”

Use a leaf with this bible verse to represent the palms waved when Jesus was on the donkey and the crowd shouted “Hosanna!”

Matthew 26:14-15 – Then one of the twelve followers went to talk to the leading priests. This was the follower named Judas Iscariot. He said, “I will hand Jesus over to you. What will you pay me for doing this?” The priests gave him 30 silver coins.

Add silver coins to this egg.

Matthew 26:26-28 – While they were eating, Jesus took some bread and thanked God for it. He broke off some pieces, gave them to his followers and said, “Take this bread and eat it. It is my body.” Then he took a cup of wine, thanked God for it, and gave it to them. He said, “Each one of you drink some of it. 28 This wine is my blood, which will be poured out to forgive the sins of many and begin the new agreement from God to his people.

Use a cracker to represent the body of Jesus and bread broken at the last supper.

Matthew 26:39 – Then Jesus went on a little farther away from them. He fell to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, don’t make me drink from this cup. But do what you want, not what I want.”

Roll paper into a scroll to represent the prayer in the garden of Gethsemane.

Mark 15:15 – Pilate wanted to please the people, so he set Barabbas free for them. And he told the soldiers to beat Jesus with whips. Then he handed him over to the soldiers to be killed on a cross.

Add cut leather to represent a whip.

Matthew 27:29 – Then they made a crown from thorny branches and put it on his head, and they put a stick in his right hand. Then they bowed before him, making fun of him. They said, “We salute you, king of the Jews!”

Twist a flower steam or vine into a small crown.

Matthew 27:31 – After they finished making fun of him, the soldiers took off the robe and put his own clothes on him again. Then they led him away to be killed on a cross.

Make your own cross using hot glue. Place two nails into a cross shape and place in the egg.

John 19:23-24 – After the soldiers nailed Jesus to the cross, they took his clothes and divided them into four parts. Each soldier got one part. They also took his tunic. It was all one piece of cloth woven from top to bottom. So the soldiers said to each other, “We should not tear this into parts. Let’s throw lots to see who will get it.” This happened to make clear the full meaning of what the Scriptures say: “They divided my clothes among them, and they threw lots for what I was wearing.” So the soldiers did this.

Dice in the egg will represent the lot that was divided.

John 19:33-34 – But when the soldiers came close to Jesus, they saw that he was already dead. So they did not break his legs. But one of the soldiers stuck his spear into Jesus’ side. Immediately blood and water came out.

A broken toothpick in the egg can represent the spear that pieced Jesus.

Matthew 27:59-60 – Then Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a new linen cloth. He put Jesus’ body in a new tomb that he had dug in a wall of rock. Then he closed the tomb by rolling a very large stone to cover the entrance. After he did this, he went away.

Clean linen cloth or fabric can represent the burial cloth that covered Jesus’ body.

Matthew 27:65-66 – Pilate said, “Take some soldiers and go guard the tomb the best way you know.” So they all went to the tomb and made it safe from thieves. They did this by sealing the stone in the entrance and putting soldiers there to guard it.

Use a small rock or pebble to represent the stone covering the tomb.

Matthew 28:5-6 “The angel said to the women, “Don’t be afraid. I know you are looking for Jesus, the one who was killed on the cross. But he is not here. He has risen from death, as he said he would. Come and see the place where his body was.”

This plastic egg will remain empty to represent the empty tomb.

Christian Easter Crafts – Resurrection Gardens

Why do we celebrate Easter? As Christians, we celebrate Easter because it recognizes the RESURRECTION of Jesus. Jesus was killed by crucifixion on a Friday (Good Friday) and then actually came back to life on the following Sunday (Easter.) Easter is often adorned with bunnies, eggs, and pretty dresses, but there are many ways we can still incorporate the “cute” things of Easter by not forgetting the reason for this season.

Before you get started, be sure to save this Easter Games List PDF for gatherings large and small, family Easter parties, youth groups, neighborhood playdates and more. See more Easter Games for Kids.
