AJ has told me since last summer, "I want a SPY birthday party!!!". I had no idea what that meant and just hoped he'd change his mind by the time February rolled around. Well, he did not forgot so I started researching. And this is what we came up with:SECRET AGENT TRAINING: Obstacle course
Running cones
Jumping over chairs
Don't touch the laser beams or you'll activate the alarm (ring the bells)!
Shoot the target.
Detonate the bombs!
The Secret Agents in Training had a bomb (balloon) tied around their ankle.
They must detonate each other's bombs until the last man was standing.
Training Complete!!! After their hard training, they were officially Secret Agents!
They each had their very own badge with their own thumbprint and a codename.
They each had their very own badge with their own thumbprint and a codename.
Happy Birthday, Agent Aidan!!!
Aidan isn't a big fan of sweets.He doesn't like cake, only likes ice cream when he feels like it,
but LOVES cookies. He requests a cookie cake every year.
Gotta refuel before the mission.
One of our February Stuart birthday boys, Jeff and his two kids, Sydney & Noah!
Cousin Sydney!
It's impressive that she was able to get frosting in her eyelashes.Secret Mission
We split the kids up into two teams. We had half wearing black lanyards (the Black team), the other half in red lanyards (Red team). Their first note read:Congratulations on completing your Secret Agent training.
It is now time to put your training to the test.
You are now a part of the Red team (or black).
Work as a team to decipher clues to complete the mission.
There is a BOMB in the building!
Red team's mission: Locate the bomb before it blows up the building!
Black team's mission: Follow the clues to determine how to defuse the bomb.
Each of you is an important part of this team.
You MUST work together or you will FAIL this mission. Good luck.
They had 4 clues. They were the same for each team but in different order.
Clue#1: "The secret password to enter was a clue to help you think,
this is a place where you get a drink."
(the password was "Waterfall", so it led them to a water
fountain to find their next clue)
Clue #2: "I am black and white and have lots of keys,
to find your next clue you must crawl under laser beams"
(then I had a code in wingdings that they had to decipher, it said "classroom with piano". So they had to find a classroom that had a piano and it had the red yard laser beams with bells. Everyone had to crawl under the laser beams to get to the piano where the clue was sitting)
Clue #3: was a code they had to decipher that said "Pop goes the weasel", then the adult working with the team asked them if they knew what a weasel looked like and that they had to find the classroom with a picture of a weasel on the door to find their next clue.
Clue #4: The Weasel room was full of black balloons with clues inside each. They had to pop all the balloons, find the clues, put them together (they were numbered), and it read:
"You've made it this far, you are close to the end.
to find the bomb you must go to the GYM"
("GYM" was in a code so they had to decipher it)
So this leads them back to the gym. The red team's clue in the gym was:
"Your mission is here, the final clue will tell
how to deactivate the bomb so that all is well.
Take turns with the guns, knock all the cups down
Then look inside the cups so the clue can be found
Once BLACK team finds the bomb you must step up to the plate
And do your part so the bomb doesn't detonate."
Black team's clue:
"Find the bomb, it's up to you
Shoot all the cups to get your clue.
Knock all of them down before looking inside
Piece the clue together to find where the bomb hides"
(the password was "Waterfall", so it led them to a water
fountain to find their next clue)
Clue #2: "I am black and white and have lots of keys,
to find your next clue you must crawl under laser beams"
(then I had a code in wingdings that they had to decipher, it said "classroom with piano". So they had to find a classroom that had a piano and it had the red yard laser beams with bells. Everyone had to crawl under the laser beams to get to the piano where the clue was sitting)

Black team's clue:
"Find the bomb, it's up to you
Shoot all the cups to get your clue.
Knock all of them down before looking inside
Piece the clue together to find where the bomb hides"
Then the kids worked together to find the bomb. It worked out so great! One team found the bomb and the other team was able to deactivate the bomb by cutting a certain wire.
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!!!
Here's our Secret Agents!
We gave our secret agents CDs with spy music (Mission impossible theme, James Bond, etc.). Aidan had such a FUN time!!! Worth all the effort!!!
