The program for the children’s birthday

All preparations are complete and the doorbell rings. The guests come and with them a complete background noise, which is one thing above all: loud. Now it’s time for you to close your ears and through. In order to protect your nerves, it is best to get support for the day. This can be your partner, but also grandma or a friend. Because four eyes and four hands can tame such a gang of little rascals more easily and some work is relieved of you.

Always with Tranquillity

Children don’t need a non-stop programme, they just like to play together without adult guidance. During this time you can, for example, prepare food or games or just relax with a cup of coffee. If there are arguments or tears, the motto is: keep calm. Always remember that the kids are at least as excited and full of expectations as you are. It’s normal for the mood to change from time to time. In such cases, distraction is the best solution. At the latest after a cup of cocoa or a song together, the spirits have calmed down again. At the end of the day you will look into bright children’s eyes that make up for all the work.

Photos and videos as a reminder

Your child’s birthday should not degenerate into a photo session just because you absolutely want to have lots of beautiful pictures of this day. Of course, you can keep pressing the shutter button or pointing the camcorder at your child. But remember that you are not a tourist on a sightseeing tour, you are mainly needed in front of the camera. Children generally do not like to stand still and posed group shots cannot authentically reflect the mood of the day. Just take a snap here and there and you’ll have lots of beautiful snapshots. Photos or a video on which the birthday guests are busy doing handicrafts, playing or eating are the best memories. You should definitely check beforehand whether a film has been inserted or whether there is still enough space on the memory card and whether the batteries are charged. And then it’s time to pull the trigger, get set, go!

Days of preparation and a lot of stress are part of a birthday like the icing on the cake. But fortunately the organization is also a lot of fun and in the end your commitment will be rewarded with a relaxed atmosphere. But what if the kids are in a bad mood and don’t feel like partying? Then your motto is: “Get to the game guns and fun commando march!”. Now it’s time to shake your aces out of your sleeve and surprise the kids with new ideas.

A raffle

This game brings a bit of fair air into the children’s room at home. And of course lots of excitement and fun. You should have made the lots in advance and of course there are no losers or losers in this lottery. Because every child is a winner in your raffle and you win their good mood. The prizes can be little things like pixie books, pendants or small puzzles – just base your selection on the age of the birthday guests.

Hide in the dark

A change in the environment can also help with a low mood. And it’s very easy and, above all, fast. Draw the curtains and turn off the lights. And it’s already getting nice and dark and playing hide and seek is much more fun. Of course, you can also buy special black light tubes that you exchange for normal fluorescent tubes. This creates a spooky atmosphere and the children can haunt around as little ghosts. Hui Buh the castle ghost has a lot of little competitors in one fell swoop!

Sing Star

With a Playstation, which you can also borrow, all guests can put their singing talent to the test. It doesn’t matter if the song is crooked or crooked, and hanging lyrics aren’t a disgrace either. On the contrary – fun comes first here. Nevertheless, you can also hold a karaoke competition in which each participant gets a recall. Then you are looking for your singing star, who will definitely be found despite many fits of laughter.

Plan B: free time

In addition to all these unusual mood makers, you should also have a plan B. And it’s very simple. Just leave the kids alone. Because maybe they are overwhelmed by all the hustle and bustle and would like to play something completely normal. Because sometimes the good old motto also applies to children’s birthday parties: Less is more! A game round with the good old Lego bricks can be a relaxing break for everyone, which you should also accept. Just ask the kids what they want to play. They know best what they want. Just remember that kids don’t need a constant entertainment program to have fun – luckily!
