My step son (5) is having a birthday party next month and I need a great theme. This is my first year doing this and I want it to be great!

THEME I: WESTERN
Have everyone dress in their best cowboy/cowgirl outfit (that they won't mind getting wet)
Buy inexpensive water guns for each guest; (Use a paint marker to put names on them)
Have a shooting gallery with targets made from styrofoam plates (string across a line and let each kid take turns aiming/ shooting)
Buy 2 stick ponies and have stick pony races
Buy 2 inexpensive cowboy hats and place toss the hat on a post. ( A large wooden dowel pounded in the ground will work)
Serve Beans & hot dogs, beef jerky and a cake decorated in the western theme.
THEME II CARNIVAL
Pick up ducks (set a small children's wading pool up with water and rubber ducks numbered on the bottom) give a prize
Pop Balloons, pop a balloon to win a prize Tape small balloons to a large piece of wood covered with poster board or bright fabric
Face painting station: display only a few simple designs so it doesn't take up too much time
Make balloon animals
Have everyone dress like clowns or circus animals, the strong man (tarzan type costume) or the tattooed man. You could dress as a fortune teller.
Use poster board to draw circus animals in cages and hand around the fence outdoors/ or the room. Use bright colors. Play carnival music; serve cotton candy, popcorn, peanuts, hot dogs or corn dogs
Set up a photo booth, use 2 pieces of poster board and draw a carnival character or animal, cut out a hole for the child to poke his/her head through, take photos, you can place these in an album for your child (and make extra copies to send each child their pic with thank you notes).

Thanks for all the input! Those all sound like great and fun ideas. I went through these with him and when he heard Spiderman it was over! Thanks for your reply it was very well thought out and impressive! My niece is having a party soon and I think I'll have to suggest your carnival theme!
If there is not a business like that, all kids love arcades. Choose a place like that to take the party to.
I hope this helps you just a little.
