So, we all like to attend parties, be it birthdays, farewells, anniversaries or other events. Parties actually help bring people together who are otherwise working their busy schedules. Children especially like to enjoy birthday parties not only because of the tasty cake or colorful balloons, but also because of playing and participating in other activities. For a child, nothing can be more amazing than her own birthday. Birthday parties are usually organized or planned by parents, but children can also be involved in the arrangements. By doing this, they can learn to be creative enough, how to manage, learn values. If the birthday party is successful, the children can be motivated to work harder and perform better.
Here are some ways below that can help you:-
Children always love to paint and draw designs. Therefore, instead of printing invitation cards, give children blank cards with colors on them and tell them to draw pictures. One of the parents must sit nearby and guide the child to avoid the massacre. This can help build children’s confidence. The creative nature of the child can also be revealed when portraying the card.
The cake is the fundamental part of the birthday party. So why don’t you bake the cake at home and ask the child to act as a maid? He or she will really enjoy the task. Ask her opinion about the taste of the cake, whether she likes the fruity or chocolate flavor or the shape of the cake. She or he should give you opinions and stick to them as much as you can. At the birthday party, you can even tell the guests that the idea behind baking the cake is for the birthday boy or girl.
You can look for suggestions from the birthday boy about food and snacks. He or she knows better than what your friends like to eat. Decide the dinner, snack and dessert menu with her consent. If you are preparing the dishes in your own kitchen instead of making use of caterers, once again enlist the help of your child as a kitchen assistant.
Children love to control and monitor. When the party starts, tell your child to take care of the comfort of the guests, whether they have had their snacks or tea or need more etc. Give your child the responsibility of caring for other children so they don’t go out and mess things up. Being guardians, you can’t always run after groups of kids, so give your child the duty of care. In this way he or she can learn to be responsible enough.
You can even tell your kids to take up photography, and of course, you need to take a lead. Your child should be a professional by gathering the other children for a group photo. Have your child organize a short performance. He or she must ask the guests to perform some art like dance or music for the sake of their birthday party. Many will deny it in the first place, but the child should be able to convince them to act.
