40 FUN IDEAS FOR BLOCK PARTIES
EJ
Posted by Erica Jabali
Do you know your neighbors? Whether you’re already best friends or you’ve never
met, a block party is a great way to bring the whole neighborhood together to
enjoy food, activities, conversation and make memories.
If this is your first neighborhood block party, you may want to start by
reaching out to your neighbors and assembling a block party team that will work
together to organize and throw the event. Then, poll your neighbors to find a
day/weekend that will be the most convenient for everyone.
Once you have a date on the calendar, look into whether your area or HOA
requires a block party permit, send out invites, and start planning activities
based on the age and interests of the attendees. Don’t be afraid to think
outside of the box. “Block Party” might immediately conjure up images of a hot
summer soiree, but a block party can be just as fun in the winter when everyone
is tired of sitting in their houses. Sometimes, a little neighborly fun is just
what the doctor ordered.
PLANNING TIPS FOR YOUR BLOCK PARTY
Ready to plan your block party? Here are important things to consider as you
start to plan.
* Food - Consider options like a potluck or cookout to simplify preparation and
make it easy to accommodate people with special diets.
* Theme - Choosing a theme sparks excitement about the event and helps
everything come together smoothly.
* Music – Music sets your party vibe, creating a laid-back atmosphere to put
your neighbors at ease as they get to know each other.
* Activities - Activities will keep the kids entertained, while also giving
everyone a chance to make memories.
* Rentals - Will you need long tables for food and activities? Figure out if
you can borrow what you need from neighbors or if you’ll need to rent them in
time for the party.
* Weather - Consider the weather forecast around the time of your block party.
* Logistics - You’ll need a plan for setting up, running the party, and
cleaning up after. Hopefully, everyone will want to pitch in, but if that is
not the case, have a plan so your block party is simple to organize.
* Traffic – Have a plan for how you’ll handle people that need to drive in and
out of the neighborhood. You don’t want any traffic jams or to inconvenience
your other neighbors.
* Sign Ups – Online sign ups make it easy to share information with your
neighbors so they can sign up for food, drinks, activities, or help with
logistics.
* Budget - Will the block party organizers bankroll the party or will everyone
be expected to chip in? Consider costs and make a plan.
BLOCK PARTY THEMES AND FOOD
Everybody loves to eat! The menu can be related to the theme of the party or
serve as the main event. Here are some ideas to get you thinking.
1. Potluck Style – Simplify meal planning and ask everyone to bring a dish.
Create an online sign up with a list of food items and party supplies and
invite guests to sign up for their choice. This works great if you’re doing
themed food such as all Mexican, outdoor BBQ style, or sweets and sips.
2. Family Favorites - Ask guests to bring a favorite family recipe everyone
loves. Sharing the story behind each dish is a great way to break the ice
as neighbors mingle.
3. Bake-Off - Put everyone’s baking skills to the test with a bake-off. Let
neighbors decide what they’ll bring to share, just make sure they know how
many people are attending, so they can bring enough for everyone to try it.
4. Cookie Exchange - Great around the holidays, a cookie party asks everyone
to bring a “cookie” or small, bite-sized treat, such as brownies or lemon
bars. They should bring enough for everyone and have cute containers that
people can use to take all their cookies to go.
5. Luau Theme - Tiki torches, Hawaiian food, flower leis, and fruit bowls will
make for a festive, neighborhood luau.
6. Food Trucks - Want to take the night off from cooking? See if you can get
some local food trucks to come out and park near your event. Some might
require a small deposit to show up, while others will be happy to take
advantage of a hungry group of people.
7. Camping Theme - Have neighbors set up their family tent and bring their
favorite BBQ/camping recipe. Play fun games and don’t forget to finish by
roasting s’mores over a fire pit. Genius Tip: Try some of these campfire
games.
8. Burger/Hot Dog Bar - Create a list of items needed to create the ultimate
burger or hot dog bar, complete with toppings, sauces, side dishes and
drinks. Ask neighbors to sign up for the part they’d like to bring and then
set it up on a super long table.
9. Pancake Breakfast - Avoid the scorching heat by having your block party
earlier and enjoying a neighborhood pancake breakfast. Cook pancakes on
griddles outdoors, have everyone bring their favorite toppings and syrups
and enjoy breakfast together.
10. Taco Fiesta - It’s doesn’t have to be Tuesday for tacos! Mexican food is
always a favorite, and many fast casual spots offer reasonably priced
catering for a taco spread with all the fixings.
11. Southern Style Buffet - This is a great way to blend take out and homemade
dishes to save time and still wow the crowd. Pick up fried chicken, pork
barbeque and side dishes like biscuits and macaroni and cheese from local
businesses. Ask guests to bring southern-inspired sides and salads with
ingredients like bacon and black-eyed peas.
12. Red, White and Blue - Celebrate the 4th of July with neighbors! Deck out
your party area in red, white and blue décor and encourage guests to dress
with patriotic flair. Keep the menu simple by grilling burgers, hot dogs
and veggies with simple sides likes chips and salad. Serve ice cream and
popsicles for dessert. Don’t forget the sparklers!
13. Chili Cookoff - This spicy theme is perfect for football season! Invite
neighbors to bring their chili creations and arrange a display of crockpots
(you need access to outside electrical outlets or a large indoor space like
a clubhouse). Invite guests to sample different chilis and pass out slips
of paper or printed ballots to vote for their favorites. Genius Tip: Plan
the ultimate chili cookout with these tips and ideas.
14. Italian Feast - Pasta is a delicious way to feed a large group! Request
volunteers to make several lasagnas or generous portions of spaghetti and
meatballs (or both depending on the size of your group). Serve big bowls of
salad and bread to complement the pasta. Bonus if you have red and white
checkered tablecloths!
15. Pizza Party - Simplify menu planning and order pizza from a favorite local
restaurant! Pizza is always a hit – order vegetarian options and look for
places that offer gluten-free crust if people in your group have diet
restrictions.

IDEAS TO HELP GUESTS CONNECT
You’ve pulled off the feat of getting the neighborhood together! Try some of
these ideas to help guests connect and start new friendships.
1. Break the Ice – Put a few extroverts in charge of throwing out icebreaker
questions to the whole group or smaller groups of guests as they circulate
through the party. Genius Tip: Get the conversation going with these
interesting things to talk about and these getting to know you questions.
2. Photo Booth - Set up an area where people can take silly photos for their
social media channels. A fun backdrop and lots of props is all that is
needed.
3. Neighbors for Hire – Set up a bulletin board and provide post-Its and push
pins so people can share their small businesses or services like babysitting
and pet sitting.
4. School Spirit – Invite neighbors to dress in spirit wear from their favorite
school or college! This is a great way to spark conversation as neighbors
discover they share an alma mater or a fierce rivalry.
5. Make Your Own Name Tag – Especially if it’s your first get together, name
tags make it easier for neighbors to get to know each other. Include a fun
suggestion like listing their favorite sports team along with their name.

FUN ACTIVITIES FOR KIDS
1. Bike & Scooter Decorating - Set up stations where kids can decorate their
bikes and scooters with tassels, garland, washable paint and more.
2. Bike Parade - Now it’s time to show off those decorated bikes! Have an adult

who want to join, too) follow behind. Make sure there’s music to keep things
festive.
3. Water Balloon Fight - It’s easier than ever to fill up water balloons, so
you’ll be able to make hundreds in just a matter of minutes. Have the
ultimate water balloon fight by placing buckets of water balloons around the
fight area for easy access.

candy lei and then they can wear it for the rest of the day. Although, if
it’s going to be hot, you may not want to use candy that will melt and make
a mess.
5. Face Painting Station - Have an artist in your neighborhood? Ask a few of
them to rotate at a face painting station where the kids (or adults) can be
adorned with washable face art.
6. Inflatables - Inflatables are such a hit. Rent a few for the kids and
they’ll be entertained for hours. If you get jousting sets or inflatable
sumo suits, neighbors can sign up to battle each other in the arena while
everyone watches in amusement.

plenty of large bubble wands and create a bubble area where kids can run and
play.
8. Large Outdoor Games - Games are just more fun when they’re huge. Rent giant
versions of easy games like Connect 4, Jenga, Kerplunk and more.
9. Special Guest - Does anyone in the neighborhood have a special talent or
know someone who does? Consider bringing in a special guest for kids such as
a balloon artist, a magician, a Disney character or any other live
entertainment.

FUN ACTIVITIES FOR EVERYONE
1. Art Party - Everyone loves art! Have an area designated for art, put out
tons of chalk or large canvases with tons of washable paint and let
everyone paint super canvases together. Save these paintings for your next
block party and display them proudly.

and make for a fun activity that everyone loves. Let each person decorate
their block party shirt and then encourage them to put it on for a big
group picture.
3. Talent Show - Do your neighbors have lots of talents? If you live around
some bold personalities, they might love an opportunity to get on stage and
share their skills. Give people plenty of time to plan their talent in
advance and then create a schedule of talents for the show. If you can
create a little stage, even better.
4. Karaoke - Some neighbors may be too shy, but others might jump at the
chance for a fun sing along. Karaoke sound systems are easy to rent and can
be very entertaining for everyone.
5. Outdoor Movie - If you’ve ever seen a movie outdoors, it can be a lot of
fun for everyone. Rent a large outdoor screen and a projector from your
library or tech equipment store. Ask everyone to bring their own chairs,
blankets, bean bags and other types of seating. Rent a large popcorn
machine and have a table with movie snack favorites. Or you can ask each
family to bring their favorite movie treat to share with everyone. Choose a
family-friendly film that is suitable for all ages.
6. Pet Parade - Show off those furry friends and creepy crawlies with a pet
parade! If the pet can’t walk on their own, their owner can proudly carry
them for all to see. At the end, have all of the pets and their owners stay
in an area where all the neighbors can vote on prizes such as “best
behaved”, “creepiest pet”, “cutest pet” and more.
7. Bean Bag Toss - Easy to set up, easy to play, easy to pack up. A bean bag
toss is great for all ages and is perfect for your block party.
8. Hire a Band - Know a local band or musician? See if you can have them come
and do a performance for your event!
9. Scavenger Hunt - Create a custom scavenger hunt themed to your neighborhood
and let everyone work in groups to see who wins.
10. Carnival Games - Set up areas for classic carnival games, such as bobbing
for apples, the three-legged race, egg toss and more.
11. Trivia – Watch your block get fired up over a game of trivia! Mix up
neighbors into different groups to answer questions and let the competition
begin. Include kid-friendly questions and include fun categories like
movies and sports. Genius Tip: Include some magic with these Disney trivia
questions for all ages.
There are so many ways to make your block party a big hit. Have fun planning and
working together to create an event that is perfectly suited for your
neighborhood. Remember that all the effort will be worthwhile when you’re able
to bring everyone together and go from just neighbors to friends.
