Finding the perfect kids birthday theme for your little one isn’t easy. Especially, when they are young. You have the responsibility of hosting a fun, memorable, and safe birthday party that will make your child’s day. Fret not, we are here to help you out. Here are 10 fun birthday party ideas for kids that are guaranteed to be a hit amongst kids!
Dig it like Indian Jones!
This Indiana Jones themed-party is packed with adventure, excitement, and action and will be a hit amongst kids. The children can dress each other up like mummies with toilet paper and “excavate” fake plaster for artefacts. You can set up the party in the garden or inside your house in the living room.
Bury some toys in the yard, or hide clues around the house for the little adventurers to follow!
Arena or Arcade party!
If your kid and his/her friends love sports and games, treat them to an amazing birthday party at a gaming arcade. Most of these venues offer to host birthday parties for a good deal. Ensure you have permission from the parents of the children coming to the party before making reservations or heading to the arena. We suggest that there be at least three adults to supervise the kids.
Karaoke party!
Unlike adults, children aren’t concerned about their singing skills. All they want to do is sing their hearts out and have fun. If your little one loves music, they will love this karaoke themed party. Don’t worry, you don’t need a karaoke machine for this. All you need is a few vocal microphones. Open up some karaoke music on Youtube and let the kids belt out to their favourite tunes in between pizza and slushies.
Red carpet!
This party will make all the guests feel like movie stars. Let the birthday boy or birthday girl choose the movie, after all, it’s their special day. A week before the party, send out invites to all their friends with a note about the dress code. Roll out the red carpet, play the paparazzi for all the guests decked in their best attires. You can screen the movie in the living room with a good supply of popcorn, pizza, candy, and sodas. You can mail the guests their red carpet photos after the party.
Aim for Boardgames!
This is a fun theme for kids birthday parties with small crowds. Choose board games that are appropriate for the children’s’ age. Split the party into groups and let everyone take turns playing their favourite board games. For snacks, we suggest finger food and lots of sodas and juices.
Paint the party red!
The birthday boy/girl doesn’t have to be Picasso to enjoy this party. Regardless of whether they can paint or not, every kid enjoys playing around with colours on a canvas. Give every guest a canvas, a few brushes and paint – and see the creativity flow! You can even make aprons out of old t-shirts for the guests so that they won’t dirty their clothes at the party.
Glow in the dark!
Planning to host a birthday party for kids at night? We’ve got just the idea. This glow in the dark night party will make your little one’s birthday the talk of the town. For decorations, we suggest going for glow balloons, glow sticks. For the drinks, you can use LED ice cubes or neon rimmed glasses. Hand out glow necklaces, bracelets, and glasses for all kids. For games try glow stick ring toss or ‘Night detectives’, where the kids have to find objects in the dark under a specific time limit.
Carnival fiesta!
We miss the good old ages when there would be a carnival in town every other month. But you can bring the carnival home for your child’s next birthday party. The party works best if you have a play area or a garden. Decorate the place with colourful balloons and streamers. Set up a few popular carnivals games such as dart balloon, bean bag toss, and ring toss. You can even set up a mini trampoline and have a face painting station. For food, opt for classic carnival foods like cotton candy, popcorn, corn on the cob, giant lollipops, hotdogs, doughnut, and ice cream!
Pool party
If you have a pool at your house or apartment, use the opportunity to throw an amazing pool party. This is a great party for kids above 8 years. Ensure all the guests stick to the shallow end of the pool and have enough floaties and pool noodles in case anyone needs it. The guests can even play throwball and other pool games. Swimming builds up quite an appetite, so make sure you have enough food for all the guests.
Slumber birthday party!
Host a sleepover party for your kid’s birthday by inviting their closest pals and letting them stay overnight. Let the kids choose how they want to spend their time. They can choose to watch a movie, play games, read books, tell stories, or even have a pillow fight!
