Viking party for children’s birthday
Vicky and the strong men/girls are your party guests with this motto. Your apartment becomes the village Flake and Halvar, Snorre and Co. play their funny games. We’ll show you a few options for a real Viking birthday party.
Invitation to the Viking party
The Vikings were jolly, sociable roughnecks. Surely the birthday guests will have a lot of fun at such a Viking party. The invitation cards can be designed as shields, Viking helmets or swords. Simply cut out the desired shape from cardboard and paint it.
Decoration and food for the Viking party
You can decorate the apartment with thick pillar candles. Of course, these should not be within reach of children or simply not lit. You can make large signs out of cardboard and use them to decorate the walls. Cardboard swords can also serve as stylish decoration. Maybe the kids enjoy having their feast sitting on the floor? If the weather cooperates, you can make a small campfire outside and toast stick bread. Otherwise, Vikings particularly like to eat fried chicken with their fingers and a delicious salad with it.
program item
The Vikings were also known for their raids. A treasure hunt is a good idea here. A simple scavenger hunt with arrows or colorful markers is sufficient for smaller children, but from the age of around six to eight years it can be a bit more complicated. Simple jute bags are ideal for covering. Cut a hole for the head in the closed end and tie a simple cord around the hips. You can wrap a white bandage around your feet and legs and fix it with packing tape. Of course, every little Viking also needs a cardboard sword and shield!
The tasks
It is best to split the gang into two groups for the search. The first group should start about half an hour earlier so that the teams don’t get in each other’s way at the individual stations. You should think of various tasks in advance. Possible would be simple but fun games such as egg races, showdowns, for example in long jumps or races, or knowledge questions about Vikings. Of course, the tasks can also include the environment and you ask the children questions like: “What color is the car in front of the house?” You award points for each correctly solved task. At the end, the winner will be drawn, who will be the first to enjoy the treasure and then, of course, the rest of the gang as well.
