Organizing a kid's birthday party can be a lot of work!
You have to plan the food, decide on a theme, shop for decorations, and most importantly, think of activities for the kids.
We've put together a list of kid's birthday party ideas for planning a fun and interactive birthday party for kids of all ages.
Fun games are a great way to get kids excited about the party.
A party theme helps keep the kids entertained while giving you something to work with when it comes to planning the party.
There are plenty of party themes to consider - like an Army Party, or Star Wars theme or something they love, like Fortnite, or even Superheroes.
Select one that your kiddo loves.
Planning to host your party at home in the backyard (or local park) can be a great way to keep to your budget.
You can also save on invitations because we have one you can download for free.
And compared to going to a theme park or Family Entertianment Centre this idea can be quite inexpensive.
But what to do with a mob of kiddos for a couple of hours at your place?
How the heck are you going to keep them entertained without blowing the whole budget?
Well, you could rent a set of laser tagger and playing some fun games at home. It is a great way to get kids excited about the party.
Laser tag has been a popular activity for the young, and the young-at-heart.
It’s a good way to get kids to have some fun and build their social skills at the same time.
It will keep the kids busy and delighted.
Games like "Capture the Flag" and "Team Elimination" are easy to run and fun to play. They are old favourites.
Kids love playing laser tag and it is a great way to keep them engaged.
The laser tag rental packs some in sets of 4, 8, 12 etc.
When you hire for Saturday you get Sunday, free.
So say you kiddo is has 15 friends they'd like to invite, you can rent a set of 8. Then have two teams on and two teams off. So you have a total 16 kids at the party.
While two of the teams are playing encourage the rest of the children to actively specate. For example, get them to offer their advice, such as:
"They'll on your left. No! Your other left."
That way they are consistently engaged. Keep the games short, like 5 or 7 minutes each round. And play in a round-robin format.
So everyone gets a go.
Becuase you get the laser taggers all weekend, many Mums and Dads have their child's friends over on the Saturday, then have the relatives over on the Sunday.
That's two parties for the price of one!
Playing and partying is hungry work for your kiddos.
Why not cater for the party with themed food.
Bonus: decorate your home in theme too!
When you rent a laser tag pack we will include the "Level-up" pack for free. That's two bunting hires and one camo net hire. No extra charge at all.
The bunting can be hung over your party table and makes a great decor.
The camo next can be used as backdrop for your insta photos or TikTok clips.
Or you can drape it over a couple of chairs for an extra hidey-hole for when the kids are playing their laser games.
A laser tag party at home is a great way to get kids to burn off some of that extra energy that they gain from all that party food & birthday cake.
"Kids have active imaginations and lots of energy, so ensure the entertainment is active. If you're doing a sleepover then you might like to steam a movie in keeping with your theme to wind down the day," said Nicole, Chief Fun Officer, Laser Tag in a Box.
There you have it.
Let your kids have a blast and don't break the bank with a laser tag party at home.
