My baby tuned 5! F.I.V.E! How is that possible?
He wanted a Ninjago birthday party and so I got creating. All of the files can be downloaded at the bottom of this post in 1 zipped file. The download will include the invitation, cupcake toppers, drink wrappers, party favors, memory game, and bunting.
First, the invitation:
The fonts I used were Chinese Takeaway and Shrimp Fried Rice. I am offering the jpeg with the blue bottom blank so you can add your own text.
For his preschool class treats I made these little tags and attached a fortune cookie to them. It was super cheap and the kids really liked them.
I also turned that tag into the take home treats for his party. I just cut the top off so they would fit on the the cute take out boxes I found at Walmart. I filled them with bouncy balls, ring pops, and of course fortune cookies.
Big brothers got to work putting all their Ninjago sets together and set them up as decorations.
I also made a bunting:
And threw together some super simple Chinese Lanterns.
When each kiddo arrived we gave them a black belt. This was a super cheap and easy thing to do. It only took about a yard of fabric to make 15 of them and it cost about $2.50
We also had Sensei Wu beards on hand!
For the games we played Sensei Says (just like Simon says)
We also played Pin the Beard on Sensei Wu
I found the game HERE.
Lastly we played Stealth Samurais, which is a matching game.
I printed off 2 sets of the cards I created, backed them, and laminated them. The boys have played with them a ton since the party.
For the food I created cupcake toppers.
I finally figured out how to make the great swirls on the top of the cupcakes. They are actually super easy you just need an extra large decorating tip
. If the tip doesn’t fit your normal bag, don’t worry I have it on good authority that if you tape it to the end with masking tape that works too 
I also made juice box wrappers and water bottle wrappers.
We had a great time, but most importantly this guy had a blast!

How did you play the matching game with so many kids? Did one kid take a turn matching and the next? Just wondering how you did it with so many kids so that the ones waiting didn’t get bored? Did you make teams? Thanks. 🙂
I just had them take turns. It was pretty chaotic 🙂 A few of them lost interest and walked away and played with Lego’s and the rest finished it out.
Thank you for sharing and making my 5 year old Ninjago themed party a little easier to plan :))))
Hi! Where in WalMart did you find the cute takeout boxes? I was there today and looked in the party section as well as the Stationary section and did not find them. Help please! thanks again for sharing your ideas!
Oh shoot! Ours is a small Walmart so they usually have less than the bigger Walmarts. But I found them in the party supply section on the bottom rack. I believe it might have been close to the plates and toys. Good luck!
Thank you for sharing your talents with us! These are so adorable and will be perfect for my son’s birthday party!!!
Thank you for all the great ideas. You are so talented!
I am trying to print out the party favor labels, but they are not on the printables download? I see everything else, but that… we are having a Ninjago bday party on Friday!
Hey Betsy – I just texted Lisa about this. What’s your email and I’ll have her shoot the label over to you! Sorry about that and thanks for the info! Have a great night!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!
Just wanted to say thanks, feeling like we can do this now!
Thank you so much for the files! I just made my son’s invitations and he LOVES them! I really apprecaite it!

SOOOO good! Thank you for this! As Ana B said earlier, there are lots of Ninjago party links, but this one is by FAR the most helpful. 🙂
My son is super excited about his party. He cant wait!
This has to be the best and most helpful ninjago party idea link. Ive seen a bunch, so far this is my favorite
I wish I would have had this a couple years ago when my son was obsessed with Ninjago. Good to know it’s out there now for my other kids!!!! Thank you.
