Ariel is an independent, headstrong, and determined young mermaid. She is the youngest and prettiest princess of the sea, but spends most of her time outside the palace walls of Atlantica singing, daydreaming, and adventuring with her best friend, Flounder the guppy fish, and sometimes Sebastian the crab, who is also the royal adviser to Ariel's father King Triton. At the age of 16, she unexpectedly becomes deeply infatuated with a young and handsome human named Prince Eric and sacrifices all things dear to her for the chance of being with her one true love.

MERMAID GAMES
• Under the Sea Freeze Dance
Play an uptempo song. Encourage kids to dance and show off their best moves. Invite shy kids to dance with you. Every 10-15 seconds, pause the music and instruct the players to FREEZE! Anyone who moves has to make a silly face. Everyone keeps playing until the song is over.
• Pass the Crab
It's a classic game of hot potato, with a Little Mermaid twist! Gather
children in n a circle. Play an upbeat song. Direct the players to pass 'Sebastian' around the circle - but don't delay, he might pinch you! Pause the music every 10-15 seconds. Whoever is holding Sebastian gets "pinched" and has to make their silliest face! Keep playing til the end of the song
• Find Sebastian
Have the kids close their eyes and count to 15 or 20. Hide the Sebastian plush somewhere nearby. When they're done counting, the kids search for him. Whoever finds him first gets the next turn to hide him! Continue playing as long as the kids stay engaged.
​
Posing: Graceful, classic Princess poses. Clasped hands, "Princess hands", etc. Fishy face for fun!
Birthday Coronation Ceremony
The final activity of the party, this is a very special and memorable moment for birthday girls and their families. If parents don't already have their cameras out, encourage them to grab them before you begin! View and download script below!
