Party Entertainment For Kids

November 23rd, 2011

Face it, paper hats and pin the tail on the donkey are pretty lame for today’s birthday party. Kid’s have “been there, done that.” If you want to make your child’s party special, think entertainment. Just sending a group of kids screaming into a party room for 2 hours is a pretty dull and unimaginative way to celebrate one of the biggest days in your child’s life. While it’s fun, it’s hardly special. Kids go to these party factories every day and some are so impersonal and noisy there’s not much to enjoy. Having a birthday part for your child in a restaurant? That’s a lot more special, but make sure you plan out the entertainment. Kids get bored fast just sitting at a table. Having the party at home certainly makes the party more personal than a loud and crazy party room. But again, make sure you have some entertainment planned. Here are some ideas.

Inflatable Bounce Rides. Rent an inflatable at any good party rental location. but be aware that every year children get hurt on these rides and you are personally liable for any bodily harm they cause. You need to keep a very close eye on the children and insist that children not be left unattended. Parents of children under the age of five must stay and supervise their kids. If you have the room and adequate supervision, the children will enjoy these rides for a while. But, be aware that in the event of rain these rides may not be suitable for indoor use. Have a backup plan. Clowns. Not all clowns are scary, some are downright cute. Look for a clown who does not wear too much makeup. A “white-face clown” is too shocking and abstract for young kids and may actually frighten your guests. Choose a clown who has a friendly and human appearance for very little children. Be sure your clown has plenty of activities.

Entertainment Ideas

Party Entertainment comes in many forms and is the primary method of keeping guests involved in your party. You don’t want them to become bored, then the party is memorable in a bad way. Games are very popular ways to keep those of all ages entertained. The type of game will usually vary depending on the guests at your party. If you are throwing a party for children you can set up games like ‘Red Light, Green Light’ or ‘Simon Says.’ Family oriented parties can include Football or board games for everyone. While adult parties may have gambling games, like Poker.

Music is another form of party entertainment. It’s fun and energizing or slow and relaxing, you can influence the moods of your guests depending on what kind of music you play and when. If you want the party to get started play something with a fast tempo and a strong beat. If its late and you want to get everyone calmed down and out of the house so you can clean up start playing slow music. They’ll either calm down or get bored and leave. Remember to play music that’s appropriate to the audience, kids’ songs are better for children’s parties and adult songs are better for adults. If you’ve got a party for those in-between check the lyrics for inappropriate content before playing the music.

Lastly you can hire some entertainment for your party. There are bands, clowns, magicians, and petting zoos to name a few activities. Hired entertainment is a great way to help keep the overall theme of your party consistent. If your party is on Halloween, hire someone to do card readings. Or if you’re doing an elaborate mystery party you can turn it into a murder mystery by hiring some actors to enact a small drama and mingle with the guests.
