It’s time for an adventure of a lifetime! For my son’s 8th birthday he wanted an Indiana Jones themed party. I had so much fun putting this together.
I couldn’t find cheap Indy hats, so I spray painted these clearanced gangster hats brown. They turned out great! Dylan approved.

I planned several fun obstacle course games. You can print out the planner as well as the game details above.
My mom used the Diego pan and made him into Indiana Jones. She covered a paper plate in icing for the brim of his hat. Brilliant.
She also made this skull cake and used edible glitter. Even the teeth are icing. They were both so yummy!
I made everyone little satchels so they would have something handy to fill with their treasure and other goodies found along the way. It doubled as their party bag. I basically used the Placemat Purse instructions in brown felt with minor changes.
With Halloween so close, it made the decor really easy. Skulls, snakes, spiders, and creepy things.

Dylan read different clues for our game which instructed the kiddos to go to different stations and find the idols in the end. The Doctor’s Wife did such an amazing job with the clues – I just used those. Thanks!!
Mummy Race – Self explanatory.
Archaeological Dig – I covered a plastic bin with brown felt then put lots of fun things like candy necklaces, ring pops, gold coins, and several bags of rice for them to dig into.
Our airport hangar was outside where we did a Holy Grail Relay. I spray painted some cups and the boys filled them up from a cooler and then dumped it out and handed it to their team mate.
We skipped the 4th clue because the water grenades all popped from the sun. Drat! Next time I’ll hide them inside.
The lake was a blue plastic table cloth with a 2×4 board along the middle with water grenades all around it.

Here the kids had to reach into each bowl and find the idols. Which were spray painted army men. The snake guts was jell-o, the eyeball soup was grapes in water, and the monkey brains was spaghetti noodles.
Dylan loved all the presents he received. Thanks guys!
It was such a fun party and all the boys had a blast!

Wow – what a party! Love the Indiana Jones Cake – it looks just like him!
I stumbled upon your website while looking for Indiana Jones party ideas for my son’s seventh birthday. You have so many great ideas. I especially like the spray painted hats. They look far better than the paper Indy party hats. Just one question. Did you have any trouble with the paint flaking off when the hats would flex? Thanks for the great tips. – Lisa
