Need Firetruck Birthday Party Game Ideas

How about... pin the 'puppy' (dalmation) on the firetruck? I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to find some Disney dalmation stickers that you could use, along with a large pic/poster of a firetruck. Just make sure you make the target area on the truck easily identifiable... at 3 yrs, the blindfold might be optional though... Whatever you decide, I am sure they will have fun with it, as long as you do! ;-)

If you request that the firetruck from your community make a guest appearance, they will (at least in our community) as long as they do not have an emergency call. I bought a Fireman Rescue Hero and let the fireman hand it, wrapped, to my son when the truck arrived. And all the guests got to get in the firetruck cab, and then later I took a photo of them all sitting on the back. ---- Also, I did a game where the boys had water guns that were "fire hoses." Too cute! Have fun!

tire hopscotch-
Fill the bucket with water relay
Make an edible fire truck
The fire museum in Denver hosts parties for a nominal fee. Perhaps you could find some inspriation there
Dress up spot.
Pin the tail on the dalmation
Hid something and provide maps and have them try to find it

Find 2 fireman costumes (jacket and hat) and divide the kids into 2 teams for a relay race. Have one run down, put on the hat and jacket, run back take it off and give it to the next person in line, etc.

we did firefighter for my son's 4th. he's turning 9 soon, so I don't remember everything we did.
start with birthdaypartyideas.com. some of those mommies are crazy - but they have ideas you can scam and simplify.
ask the fire department to come. arvada's did. they did a little safety thing w/the kids as well as letting them look at the truck.
we put out the "fire" with water balloons. my son helped paint an old sheet to look like fire and we pinned it to the fence to throw balloons at.
we got appliance boxes from an appliance store. one was the fire house and one was the burning house. my son helped decorate them. there was endless fun with those and the riding toys. we taped red plastic cups upside down on every ride toy we had - they became instant fire trucks.
we played police car, police car, fire truck - duck, duck, goose.
for food, we did orange, yellow and red food. I remember yellow tortilla chips, carrot sticks, and watermelon. don't remember what else at this point.
just have fun w/it. if all you do is have the fire department show up, you'll have a very happy little boy. good luck!

I love some of the game ideas already posted. Going on what Bethany said, instead of a hose, you could put out a fire (pretend) with water balloons. First fire to knock over wins. Or make a target out of cardboard, paint a big flame on it, and do a bean-bag toss. Make your own bean bags from blue fabric (water) or get fire-truck fabric/bandanas from the store.

You should check out http://www.cutepartyideas.com/ if you enter Fire Truck in her search box, tons of ideas, themes, games, gifts, etc come up. She is a really neat lady to work with too.

Try a "Pin the Ladder on the Firetruck", or put little paper fires up on stands and have the kids squirt them over with water sprayers.

Have fun!

You could set up some cardboard "fire" and water hoses. Whoever gets the "fire" out (making the cardboard fall over) first, gets a prize. :) Have fun!!! I'm planning my own 3rd b-day party too.

You could make some firetrucks and have a race.
You can go online and googled "cardboard box fire engines." I got the plan from http://family.go.com/2008-halloween-costume-contest/costu.... With back to school time you could probably get some printer paper boxes. You could either spray paint the boxes or even use red wrapping paper instead of construction paper. For the lights on top you could use solo cups. . Since you would need to to make 8 I would take the easiest fastest approach and use aluminum foil for the grills and bumpers and painted small paper plates for the tires. You could also have a Firehouse Obstacle Course. Which if it is really hot out have a slip and slide as part of the obstacle. There are a couple of really good website to get idea for all different kinds of Birthday party themes. I have listed a few different ones.

We Have Fantasic Fire Truck here in AZ. We just booked it for our daughters birhtday in Dec so I searched in CO for you and found this site http://www.coloradofiretruckrental.4t.com/index.html Our rental was only $300 (the highest priced package) for unlimited amount of kids, and they do activities, prizes, adn each kid gets a hat, sticker, and coloring book. They let the kids play with a lot of the stuff on the truck and show up sirens blaring and everything, The birthday kid also gets to ride around the neighborhood on the fire truck :) I am not sure what the link I added offers but check your area. Hope this helps
