Car Party Ideas and Games

Easy Party Invitations

  • Send a small Hot Wheels type toy car with your invitation (mail in a small box or mailing tube).
  • Create an invitation that looks like a tire or a car.
  • Tell your guests to "race on over" for a party!
  • Shop for car theme invitations

    • Car Party Decorations

  • Use colors such as white and black (like a checkered flag), and have fun mixing in other colors.
  • Set up some bright orange traffic cones.
  • Hang up posters of cars (if strictly a car theme party). You can get some from brochures from different car manufacturers. For a Nascar race car party, use posters of favorite race car drivers.
  • You can use Race Car Partyware, or you can pick your favorite color.

    • Ice Breaker/Arrival Activities

  • Before the party, find a large appliance box and cut it out in the shape of a car. Let the kids color it when they arrive.
  • Have stickers to put on small toy cars.
  • Design your own race car logo.
  • If playing any games on teams, divide into car colors - red, yellow, white, or call the teams by different pit crew names.
  • Furnish the kids a pinewood derby car (already assembled) and let them paint it or cover it in stickers (you can then race them as a party activity).
  • Have lots of toy cars out on the floor, with a map drawn on paper on the floor (or use one of those rugs that looks like a city) and let everyone play!


    • Fun Theme Car Party Games

  • Red Light, Green Light - this classic game is always fun.
  • Musical Spots - sort of a grand scale musical chairs, with a few spots to run to instead of chairs.
