Maybe you’re done sending the coolest invitations, arranged the best party food, and your kid’s party is approaching. However, you keep thinking about how these 20 children can stay entertained and active for 3 hours. Seem pretty terrifying, right? In spite of the fact of how a supermom or super dad you are, the most effective way to keep kids entertained at a party is to plan fun activities up your sleeve. 

In this article, we are going to share with you our top tips for keeping the kids entertained and with some amazing advice as well to make the party more creative, high-energy and unforgettable.  

Give Kids Freedom

Kids are naturally great entertainers of other kids. This is the reason why it’s a good idea to create a kid-only room or place where they are able to mingle with each other. And because of the natural order of things, matured and older kids will certainly feel the need to look after the younger ones– which allows them to learn how to be responsible. 

However, you still have to make sure that there’s an adult present who’s watching over then at all times but allows them to do crafts, watch a movie, play, and socialize in their own small world so you can go around and mingle with other parents. 

Literally Jumpstart the Fun 

Notice how kids don’t get gassed-up and worn out easily, especially when they’re bouncing around. This is why trampolines exist! This is why it’s a great idea to have a trampoline at a party and have them bounce until they feel that happiness and contentment. If you don’t have an outdoor to do this, you may have it indoors if your house has that adequate space and place rows of trampolines which are perfect and easy for parties. Then order a large pizza and cake and you’ll surely nail the best party ever. 

Have a Classic Pool Party 

This is the perfect party during the summer! Having a pool gives the children a long time to have fun and keep themselves busy. Let them do some splashing on a pool. Look for a place where you could host your party indoors– your own backyard, a public spray ground or even a swim school. This kind of party provides itself delightfully to a mermaid, under-the-sea or any other spectacular, summertime theme.                                                         

Hire a Children’s Entertainer 

Kid entertainers have become a popular thing in the past few years. These people are usually not only called for birthday parties but also other special celebrations where kids are. There are people who think that entertainers are just for the children to focus on, but they actually do more jobs than that. They can totally help turn the party more effortless and unforgettable. They will give you and your party planner more breathing room so you are relaxed when the party is over. 

You need to put in mind that birthday parties are the stuff kids’ memories are made of. They may remember the cake, their friends, but having Superhero guests or the Princesses, that’s a true memory that never fades. You may want to hire one from a kid’s party entertainment company to help you keep the kids’ energy going. 

Do a Cooking Class 

If your birthday girl or boy dreams to be a wannabe chef, then it might be best to host a small cooking class in your home or at a local culinary school maybe just a great idea for his or her friends. There are a lot of options that will keep the kids busy such as learning to make dinner, decorate cookies, or bake cakes. 

Another, you may even set up a dessert station where the kids can make their own treats. Plus, how awesome it is that the finished product can be their perfect take-home gift? 

Plan a Kid-lympics 

This idea may take more effort compared to the others but having a sequence of fun games and mini-competitions arranged for the kids can help them get busy during the party. Pick safe and friendly games such as bowling, mini-golf competitions, or charades. You may ask to take them to play and make sure to have someone to be responsible for the master ceremonies. These different types of games, it will help kids learn sportsmanship, camaraderie, and teamwork with one another.  

Treasure Hunts 

One of the most important things to consider is to have activities that will cater to all ages who will be there at the party. This is necessary since older kids get easily bored if the activities are too childish. If you don’t like the idea of having two separate sets of activities, you may try creating a harder version of the same for the older children. We suggest doing treasure hunts which are an amazing example of a game that can be tailored to all age groups.
