This child's party requires some level of preparation, but costumes are available for sale or rent everywhere, so it shouldn't be too difficult. Besides, a little creativity and ingenuity on your part can go a very long way. What makes children's parties extra fun are the unique themes that go with them. Anyone who continues to move or fails to keep a "frozen" position while the music is out is out of the game. The last child standing (or dancing) wins. 4) Charades This game is not exclusive to children's birthday parties or to kids. In fact, even adults have fun playing this. Kids will have an easier time making guesses if you use animals or common objects to act out. Children judge food initially based on their appearance, so you might want to make them enticing. Enticing, for kids, means cartoony and colorful, so you can go play with food coloring if you want. Blue spaghetti? Why not? It may look icky for adults, but it could the one big factor that would get your young guests to devour it. You can make up your kids costume or you can purchase a ready made one directly from a costume shop or a party supplies store. Invitations Ask your child who he or she wants to be present at his or her party. Remember, it's his or her big day so his or her opinion counts the most. Of course, invite some close adult friends and kids of adult friends whose ages are nearer to your child's so he or she will be exposed to other faces and learn to make new friends. It's just that for many years birthday parties have been marked as important events in children's lives, that it seems odd if you, as a parent, do not throw one for your child at least once. Now you don't have to spend so much to pull off a fun and memorable children's party. It only takes a little creativity and ingenuity to plan a party that would have your kid and his or her guests talking about it for days and weeks after. In addition, take note how many exits there are and if ample security is provided. Also find out if the restrooms are clean and in perfect condition, and if there are proper waste disposal areas in the vicinity. Also ask if tents are available, or if there is an option to move the event indoors, in case it suddenly rains.
