The kids and I needed an excuse to dress up, plan a party, and run around the gym and a Dr. Seuss party fit the bill perfectly. The kids and I brainstormed zany games and perused the party store all in the party's name. Here's what we came up with. Thing 1&2 tag (aka partner tag or back in the day fag-tag.)
The menfolk spectators.
Story Time put on by Hudson.
His audience dwindled rather quickly.
But he continued reading to the bitter end. He wouldn't quite until every last kid had left.
Mr. Brown can moo, can you? Adapted from an oinking game where a person is blindfolded in the middle of a circle. They point to a person, moo an absurd moo and the person they pointed to has to echo the moo in order for the person in the middle to guess who it is.

Hilder Family:
Seuss Trivia and no surprise, the kids won.
A special guest appearance by the Once-ler who performed "How Bad Can I Be?" from the Lorax.
He had all the kids up and moving. He was also the winner of the people's choice costume contest.
Mattson Family:
Fox in Socks Sock Hop where players tried to stomp the floppy socks off of their opponents.
Don't forget the Green Eggs and Ham relay race and the Hop on Pop Popcorn Bar. It featured Lorax poop, One Fish Two Fish popcorn, and bacon popcorn to name a few.

It looks like so much fun! I love all the game ideas.
And Jake's costume makes me laugh! What a good sport, he is!
It was fun! I may have to snitch a couple of your pics for our blog! The Once-ler must be documented because I'm banking that it will never happen again!
