Birthday Parties for Kids Ages 7 to 9

Carnival Themes, Chucky Cheese, Dave and Busters

You can be very creative when hosting birthday parties for kids ages 7 to 9. By this age they are quite independent, even daring, so go out on a limb and come up with something other than the traditional birthday and cake sit down with gifts. It's not like they are going to turn down anything you decide to do, right? At the same time, try to engage them in the planning and the final decision. Let them use their little minds and see what great ideas they can come up with for hosting birthday parties for kids ages 7 to 9.

First of all weather dictates a lot. The spring and summer babies tend to have more options because they can have birthday parties indoors or outdoors. This particular age group is not only active, but also their personalities change around this time, as does their fierce need for independence. They can be in a word rowdy! This goes for the boys and the girls. If weather permits hosting an outdoor party, this is your best bet. Hosting birthday parties for kids ages 6 to 8 is going to require a little ingenuity. You want to keep them actively involved, you want them safe, and you want them having fun and fulfilled.

Why not consider having a carnival themed birthday party. You can rent the bouncy inflatable toys for hours (look out energy bill), as well as have your friends and family man the other carnival activities. Try to be versatile with what you have. Think about it hosting birthday parties for kids ages 6 to 8, we don't want them to have the opportunity to call the party lame, right? So think carnival, and think carnival fairway. Of course the girls always enjoy face painting so have your favorite make-up artist friend man that table. Also have a Fortune Teller, Magician, The Tallest Man on Earth (stilts are handy if you don't have a super tall friend), the smallest man on earth (a challenge but definitely doable), have some one on a unicycle, and any other carnival themed acts you can come up with. Try to include some sort of water games, and safe fairway games. Most parents prefer their children stay away from toy guns, so try a go fishing theme, water balloons, or dunking for apples to win a prize or something of that nature.
