Give mom the royal treatment all day long with these fun ideas. Start the day by putting a royal decree on Mom’s bedroom door announcing that today is a special day for the Queen of the castle and that her servants (Dad and the kids) will be available all day to be employed in the Queen’s service. Give Mom a lavish breakfast then let her pick what she wants to do all day whether it is lounging around, going out to shop or just spending the day being pampered.

Invite

At noon deliver mom an invitation to attend a royal ball. This party can be attended by Queens and their families from other kingdoms as well, just be sure to send out the invitations about two weeks in advance.

Craft

This craft works well as an activity for the Queens’ and her royal subjects to do while waiting for other guests to arrive. Provide paper crowns, glitter, glue, markers and crowns and have the Queens’ or their kids decorate one for each of the Moms’ to wear the rest of the day.

Royal Dragon Hunt Game

May is the perfect time for a royal dragon hunt. If you have a large group at the party you may want to divide them into smaller groups and have different “hunting parties.” This game is basically done like a scavenger hunt. Give each group a clue to start with. The first clue will lead them to another clue and so on. It may be fun to make the clues look like dragon prints. Have the hunt end at the dragon’s lair, where they will find treasure such as chocolate shaped and wrapped like gold coins, and little rings (dragons always have treasure in their lairs).

Ball

When everyone returns from their dragon hunt, turn on the music and let the dancing and feasting begin. Your feast can feature any number of foods, but favorite royal foods are, turkey legs, hot rolls and of course cake. Be sure to have a toast too!
