Q&A

What are some ideas for theme parties for kids?

You can have movie-themed parties, book-themed parties, game-themed parties, or even a party centered around a specific object like Solo cups. Other ideas include murder mystery parties, dress-up parties, historical event parties, or animal-themed parties.

What are some ideas for active parties for kids?

You can have a murder mystery party where participants act out different characters, or you can have an improvisational game party using ideas from a book like "Theater Games and Activities for Kids" by Lisa Bandy Winters. You could also incorporate physical activities into the party, such as playing games related to the party theme or even acting out during dinner.

How can you incorporate service into a kids party?

You can have a service scavenger hunt where participants go around the neighborhood performing acts of service. Another option is to do a service project, such as gardening or cleaning up a local park, and then have a special dinner where someone serves the food or you serve it to someone else. The key is to combine a service activity with a fun element, such as a game or challenge.

How can you host a creative party for kids?

If you have creative people in your group, you can have a Lego or block building party, where participants create structures using these materials. You can also have painting parties, create still life paintings, or even create a comic strip where each participant contributes a piece to tell a story. If you don't have artists in your group, you can have a Bob Ross party where you follow along with his painting instructions and have fun learning a new skill.

What are some ideas for mix-it-up parties for kids?

Mix-it-up parties involve doing things differently or outside of the norm. You can play games like Minute to Win It, where participants have to complete challenges using everyday items. Another idea is to have an Iron Chef competition where participants have to create dishes using specific ingredients. You can also mix up outfits, hairstyles, or even go thrifting and have everyone select an outfit for someone else. The goal is to have fun and be creative with how you mix things up.

How can you plan a challenge party for kids?

A challenge party is centered around a specific challenge or activity. You can create an obstacle course, have an ABC scavenger hunt, or even have an archery challenge where participants learn basic archery skills and compete in different challenges. Sword fighting with foam swords or launching squash with a catapult are also fun challenges. The key is to come up with a unique and engaging challenge that will keep the participants entertained.
