Birthday Party Ideas for Kids - By: diya

A birthday party for your child does not have to be elaborate and filled with lots of rented activities like clowns who create balloon
animals or large, inflatable obstacle courses that seem to charge you by the minute. Kids are usually happy just to be able to see their friends and spend time playing together. This year for your child’s Birthday party, plan something that is both entertaining and enjoyable for all of the party members, just not expensive.

Play Games: There are plenty of outdoor games kids love that are free, such as three-legged or potato sack races, tag or category ball. For category ball, have the birthday boy select a category, like animals. Then, all of the kids stand in a circle and bounce the ball to each other in no particular order. When each person catches the ball, he must say an animal name that has not already been said by another child.

For indoor games on a cold or rainy day, try a scvanger hunt, ping pong puff or sardines–a reverse hide-and-seek game where once you find the sole “hider,” you hide with him. The last person to find the entire group (now hiding with the original person) loses. Ping pong puff is best played on a long table with each person blowing through a straw to try to get the ping pong ball to his opponents side of the table. Put down tape as “goal” markers on each side of the table before starting.

Pot Luck: Kids are notorious for being picky eaters. To help please every palate, ask each parent to bring a snack her child loves to eat. This way, everyone will have at least one item she enjoys, and you will end up with a variety of party foods, from brownies to chips to chocolate-covered gummy worms. Put them out on a table that is just the right height for small party guests and be sure to thank every parent with a heartfelt, hand-written thank-you note after the party, wedding planner.

Nature Walk: If you want to take the party on a short field trip, go to a park or forest preserve with a wooded nature trail. Give each child a small paper bag to collect items from the nature walk, if park rules allow. While walking, stop and show the children things like spider webs, a bird’s nest or a funny-shaped tree. Encourage the children to do the same, pointing out objects they think look interesting. Also, ask them to find things like an acorn, a rock and a dried leaf. They will enjoy the experience and their found souvenirs.
