Darth Vader Limbo:
Set up a limbo stick and have the kids take turns bending backward, channeling their inner Sith Lord. Play the Imperial March for added atmosphere!

Ewok Relay Race:
Divide the kids into teams and have them participate in a relay race while carrying a “package” (a plush Ewok or a small Star Wars toy) to represent the Ewok’s mission in Return of the Jedi.
Star Wars Party Karaoke:
Set up a karaoke station with popular Star Wars tunes like the Cantina Band song or even “A Whole New World” from the famous Anakin and Padmé scene. Let the kids take turns belting out their favorite galactic hits!
