See You Later, Alligator

My daughter's 1st grade classroom celebrated the end of school with a "See You Later, Alligator" themed party. Their class mascot is a stuffed alligator named Later Gator so it seemed appropriate to choose this theme. Every child got a gator necklace when entering the party. We had a coloring station with a free alligator printable. We had make your own gator puppets from Oriental Trading. We played ring toss on an inflatable alligator game and the Crocodile dentist game. We had story time with "There's An Alligator Under My Bed" and "Zack's Alligator Goes to School." We had a photo area with the guest of honor (Later Gator) and played freeze dance. The kids got a goody bag on the way out with gummy gators. It was a lot of fun!
