In addition to the basic party supplies (paper tableware, a tablecloth, streamers, and balloons) you may also want to consider renting or purchasing the following for your cheerleaders party:

· Pom Poms

· Trampoline (for practicing cheer tricks)

· Cheer Sticks

· Cheerleading Uniforms

· As each guest enters the party area, give them two shoe poms to tie to their shoes and ribbons to tie in their hair. Then, paint a school mascot or cheer slogan on their cheeks with a Homemade Face Paint Recipe

· Cut large megaphones and school pennant shapes out of construction paper and write a cheer slogan on each one. Try “Go! Fight! Win!”, “Team Captain”,

· Balloons and streamers are a must-have at any party! Tie groups of balloons in your child’s school colors to the backs of chairs, float them up from tables, or use them to mark doorways. Star-shaped Mylar also add a festive touch, as do using pom-poms as balloon weights.

· If your child’s school mascot is something traditional - such as a wildcat, bulldog, or bear - set up some stuffed animals that match the mascot as decorations.

· Hang fun cheerleading banners on the walls.

· Lay down mats or padding in one area of the party space so your guests can safely practice routines and cheerleading moves.

· Pinata with decorative ribbons that are pulled by each child to release the treasures within.
