This will help keep the children preoccupied and still for about an hour and half or so. Pixar and Disney animated films are favorites. There are many activities possible for children's parties. If you have no idea what these can be, try asking friends who have already thrown parties for their children. The games part is a little challenging, though, because you will need a good, enticing party host to get the guests to participate. Children are generally shy, so it can be quite a task to urge them to join in on the activities. There are many children's birthday party game ideas all over the Internet, so this part will be a cinch. Below are several children's birthday party games you might want to consider: 1) The "Who Am I" Game When the young guests arrive, stick a picture of an object or an animal on their backs and tell them to ask each other questions that can only be answerable with "yes" or "no" to guess what was written there. The most common children's party games include Pin the Tail on the Donkey, Hit the Pinata, and relay races. You can stick to this lineup, but you can also modify these games to fit your theme (if you have one) or to coincide with your child's gender. For instance, if your child is a girl, you can modify Pin the Tail on the Donkey into Pin the Bow on the Princess, or whatever tickles your fancy. Invitations For Your Childs Birthday Party It's not compulsory, but invitations are usually required whenever you are planning to throw a party for your child. Not only are invitations a formal way of letting people know that you'd like their presence at your event, it's also a great way to keep the guest list in check, just in case you don't want anyone uninvited to crash your party. For a themed party to be successful, the kinds of food you serve, the games you play and the favors you give out should be consistent with your theme. Hence, if you've decided on a fairy princess party, your food should include things like dainty-looking cupcakes and shimmery food coloring in pastel colors, and your giveaway bags should have princess prints on them.
