1,2,3..Let it Rip! Or perhaps “Chakkar De Takkar” is common in every household in India that has kids. I threw a Beyblade themed birthday party for my son’s 5th birthday and it was a super duper hit. Here are some of my ideas for invitations, decor, cake, games and return gifts.
Invitations
My son was thrilled to be a part of the invitation. I used an online tool to cartoonify his picture and added it to baby pictures of other famous beyblade characters to make the invitation.
I cartoonised my son’s pic and added him the group of his ‘Beyblade heroes’ on the invitation. The invite was email/WhatsApp only.
Beyblade Birthday Party Decorations
As always, I designed my own invitations, decorations and Thank you notes and got them printed from Vistaprint. I used the cartoon image of my son in everything.
For the Beyblade Party Decoration, I used the same graphic that I designed for the invitation – the one with my son. I got a huge banner printed out and it was the main backdrop along with columns of balloons in red, blue and yellow. Two other posters of my son with his beyblades were on either side and some quick paper beyblade shapes that I made, were glued under the main banner.
Other than the backdrop, balloons in the same colour scheme filled up the space.
I used two plastic table cloths – one for the cake table and the other was taped to the ground to create the Beyblade battle arena
Beyblade Birthday Party Games and Activities
We had many games using beyblades like the longest spin (whose ever’s beyblade kept spinning for the longest time would win) and spinning inside a circle (the beyblade shouldn’t move outside the square when spinning) etc. The main activity was the Beyblade Battle Championship, of course.
Beyblade Party Games – The beyblade championship was the main attraction.
The Battle was enjoyed by guests of all ages – even Mommies and Daddies!
Scores and winners for all games and activities were taken note of to decide upon the final prizes.

Post the cake, the kids had food and then played another game –
The Beyblade Bingo
Little kids love bingo/housie/tambola, whatever you choose to call it. But they find it difficult to quickly find numbers and cross them off correctly. A picture bingo is much more attractive to kids and I have had one at all my parties for ages less than 5. For our beyblade party, I created a Beyblade bingo with pictures of different beyblades and characters. You can find the free Beyblade Bingo printables to use for your own Beyblade themed birthday parties.
Since half the people were eating while we played, and was busy conducting the game, we forgot to take pictures when playing the game. This is from when I was cutting out the bingo tickets with my paper cutter. It is played just like Housie or Tambola. Those are calling cards that you see on the top left. I showed each card to the kids. If they have that picture on their ticket, they would cross it out. We had prizes for rows, full house and 2nd full house.
Return Gifts & Game Prizes
Beyblades for giving as Return Gifts. I bought severalpacks of 4 beyblades each, opened them up and put 2 beyblades with rip cords and launchers in each favor bag.
Beyblades for party favors/return gifts
The beyblade party prizes consisted of message bracelets, funky pens, pencil boxes and the like.
Our original beyblade – the Traditional Indian Wooden Spinning top had to be a part of this party! They were the full house prizes for the Bingo game
These personalized stickers were used for all and sundry – cupcake picks, decorations, thank you stickers for the grown up gifts etc.

how did you make the cake?? I am trying to make one for my sons birthday.
I got it made from a local bakery, Kathy. Took a printout of some beyblades and asked them to make whichever was most realistically possible for them to make.
Hi. Can you share the bingo file? I would really appreciate it!
