Costumes
All your guests will need their own Kung Fu belt. Before the party, tear a white sheet into belt-sized strips. Have lots of permanent markers or fabric markers available so that each child can personalize their own belt.

Games and Entertainment
Then, it’s off to see the movie at your local theatre. After the show. . .

Invite a teenage “kung fu master” to safely show the kids some moves of their own. Help the kids tie on their belts, and they’ll feel like they’re on their way to becoming masters themselves!

Party Eats
For part of the fun, let the children try their hand at using chopsticks. Have a variety of candies available to put on top of the ice cream. Here’s the catch; they can only eat the candies that they can pick up using chopsticks!

Party Favors
Send the children home with a Chinese Box filled with chopsticks, Chinese finger traps, and their own fortune cookies. Send enough to share with their brothers and sisters.

Or, make homemade fortune cookies and personalize the fortunes for each child, focusing on their gifts and skills. The following recipe makes 48 cookies.

1 cup unsalted butter, melted
3/4 cup egg whites
1 2/3 cup sugar
1 cup flour
3/4 cup finely chopped almonds
1/2 tsp. vanilla
48 fortunes personalized on 3"x3/4" strips of paper.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Mix first three ingredients until sugar is dissolved. Stir in remaining ingredients, one at a time until well blended. Drop dough by level teaspoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheet.

Bake 10 minutes, or until edges are golden brown. Remove cookies from baking sheet.

Place 1 fortune in the center of each cookie; fold cookie in half; pinch sides together. Work quickly before cookies cool and harden. Yum! Yum!
