"Hey now, you’re an all-star. Get your game on. Go play!" Prepare to hear this song ‘cause the NBA All-Star Game is coming so get ready to play! Here are a few tips to host an all-star party in your home.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • Food and beverage
  • Trophy, life-sized cardboard cutouts, camera
  • Markers
  • CDs, CD cases, CD label-making kit, printer
  • Sweat bands, faux bling, grills, basketball gear
  • Music
  • Miniature basketball hoops
  • Basketball
  • TV

Step1
Burn the song, “All Star” by Smash Mouth onto a CD for the invite. Print labels for the CD with the party details on them. Load them into colored see-through CD cases and send them out. Encourage guests to listen to the CD on their way to the party to get pumped up!
Step2
Basketball is all about being a balla! When guests arrive, greet them with sweat bands, faux bling, grills (fake gold teeth) and other balla gear for them to sport.
Step3
Set up mini basketball hoops above all of the trash cans. You might even be able to get a little indoor game of horse started.
Step4
Grab a basketball for everyone to sign. Lay out markers in different colors and let your guests live out their dream of being a pro basketball player. When the party is over keep the basketball as your guest book and bring it out for the next basketball gig.
Step5
Set up a winner's circle photo op for your guests. Order life-sized cardboard cutouts of your favorite NBA players from Cardboardcutouts.com (see Resources, below). Set them up with a trophy and a microphone and let the flashbulbs fly!
Step6
Mix a CD with classic sports songs for background music and commercial breaks. A few to include are, "The Eye of the Tiger," "We Will Rock You/We Are The Champions," "Lets Get Ready To Rumble," "YMCA," "Pour Some Sugar On Me," "Who Let The Dogs Out" and "Whoomp! There It Is!"
