Sesame Street Music: Fuzzy and Blue (and Orange)

Time for another set of games taken from Sesame Street songs. I ran across this particular number while looking for Sesame Street songs for a new lens over at Squidoo, and ideas just started coming.



So what kind of games could you play based on this song? I thought of two almost immediately, but I'd love to hear any other ideas you have! Mine are both take offs from classic games and I worry that younger kids would have a little trouble adjusting to a new version.

Blue, blue, orange - So this would be a version of Duck, Duck, Goose only using the colors blue and orange instead. Challenge here might be to explain to kids they aren't looking for the colors on the other kids, but just using those words instead of duck and goose.

Blue monster, Orange monster - This would be a version of Red Light, Green Light only make the words blue monster and orange monster instead. Again, the challenge might be helping the kids understand the new rules of the game, but it could be a lot of fun.

I like both of these for a Grover or Cookie Monster party (since they're both in the video) or maybe just a general Marvelous Monsters party. Hmm. Liking that theme idea! More on that later.

Big, big balloons for your Sesame Street birthday bash

If your child had one wish for his Sesame Street birthday party, I'm sure it would be for Elmo to actually be there. As long as you don't have a skittish toddler, there's now a way to get pretty close, actually.

Check out these huge balloons of Elmo and Big Bird! Fill them with helium and rather than floating up and away, they float around the room like they're walking around! Pretty cool!!

Elmo is 50" tall, which seems a little big for a three-year-old Muppet, if you ask me. Big Bird comes in at 62", which is just barely over five feet, which is too short. Dang the lack of realism!! But still, they're pretty darn cool no matter what size. You'll need to get a helium tank to fill them, or see if your local party store will do it for you.
