Need Ideas For 6 Year Old Boy's Indoor Birthday Party

RE: Need Ideas For 6 Year Old Boy's Indoor Birthday Party Post By ellie (Guest Post) (08/25/2008) Hi there. I to had the same problem my advice is find the nearest play area (make sure it is large and has plenty of space). I recommend jungle mania as it is very peaceful and these kids you are on about don't worry if they do start a problem tell them off and then they will respect your choose. I am afraid that an indoor party will stress you out. Good luck, all the best, Ellie Report Spam or Abuse RE: Need Ideas For 6 Year Old Boy's Indoor Birthday Party Post By deedee (Guest Post) (04/30/2008) I am a child entertainer in the sd area children love magic and face painting. I only charge my area 100.00 dollars for a three hour party. Parents deserve to be able to afford fun for the children. They will always remember what you have done.

(Guest Post) (02/21/2008) at my sons 6th birthday we had face painting on one side of the party hall, my sister was in charge of that, I had pin the tail set up and my sister-in-law did that, we had a table set up with make your own mask or puppet supplies, like glue, diffrent types of googlie eyes, plastic plates, brown paper lunch bags, pipe cleaners, sparkels, paint & brushes and so on and one of my friends helped out with that, we also had musicial chairs which we broke down into 4 groups of 6 and the winner of each round played for the big prize(every child that particapated got to reach in the prize bags and get their own prize) I had one for girls and one for boys. we also played pass the parcel and freeze dance, some other friends helped with those games.Both grandma`s helped in the kitchen to prepare the lunch for the kids, so i was free to videotape, take pictures and enjoy my sons special day with him, thanks to all the people that helped keep it organized. The party lasted 2 hours and it was a success. i found that these little games kept them busy and on their feet, they no time to be bored. they all left with smiles on their dirty faces including the birthday boy Report Spam or Abuse RE: Need Ideas For 6 Year Old Boy's Indoor Birthday Party Post By hayley (Guest Post) (01/22/2008) Play musical chairs with them and passing the parcel. Board games are also fun and scavenger hunts. Rent a movie and order pizza. Costume parties are fun too.

I am having trouble coming up with ideas for both. Something I thought about that might help you would be a bonfire party. They could have hot dogs and make s'mores. You would probably need the parents to stay or have helpers to watch the kids with the fire so they wouldn't get hurt. We thought about making sugar cookies and decorating them since his birthday is 20 days from Christmas, we might have a ornament decorating contest. Things like that. Hope it helps!

They come in for about an hour to do experiments and things. In this area it starts at $200 and then add ons are addl. (cotton candy, potions). You can hire a magician to come in...kids love that. How about a puppet show...nothing too babyish or if he likes a character you can get someone to come in dressed up. Other than that pinatas are fun, you can play music and do freeze dance and musical chairs and limbo. Or you could do "make your own" ice cream sundaeas or decorating cookies or some other craft thing....sand art for instance. Good luck!!

FOOD just order some pizza or have a bbq hot dogs salad any thing! GUESTS i think you should let your son decide who he wants to invite. show him a picture of his class and let him point to who he wants to invite. ( since he is a boy there are probably going to be more boys then girls) AND MAKE SURE YOU ARE COMFORTABLE WITH WHO HE INVITES TOO! THEME go to the store and let your son decide what theme he wants(bat man spider man super man ) oh yah and one more thing have fun!

Report Spam or Abuse RE: Need Ideas For 6 Year Old Boy's Indoor Birthday Party Post By Sandt (Guest Post) (04/26/2007) My son turns 6 May 3 he is a big scooby doo and hot wheels fan so we are having a mixed theme for the party. When the guest arrive they will have a designated place to put the gifts. After everyone arrives they will have a small craft time (which will be decorating the paper gift bags I purchased for goody bags each child gets one with markers crayons and stickers) while they decorate the bags I hide the gifts. When the kids go to watch the birthday boy open there gifts they will only find a clue where the gifts were. The clue leads to another clue and at each clue there will be a game to play such as pinata (which is a huge blue hot wheels car) musical chairs pin the sandwich on shaggy scooby doo where are you etc. the last clue will lead to the hidden gifts.

I also thought 6 was a little young for sleepovers, so we decided to have a "pretend" sleepover. The boys will come dressed in their p.j.s and we are going to play games like slipper toss in which the kids can go one by one or be split into teams and they have to toss a slipper (or both) into a bucket from whatever distance away you choose; freeze dance; face painting by his older sister; and maybe a magic show by neighbor 11 yr. old boy. When my daughter had a sleepover party we decorated pillowcases with glow-in-the-dark paints and the kids loved them!! You can also buy all the G-I-D items for them to take home. Also, you can buy popcorn bags to use as the kids goody bags or just fill them with popcorn! Good luck and have fun!!!

I decorated with camoflaged material, each child was given a set of "homemade" dog tags with their name on it, each child was encouraged to wear camoflage as wriitten on the invitation. The party was only 2 hours long and we did have around 12 children. We played games such as an obstacle course made with objects found around the house etc. It was a huge success.

We are going to make our own pizzas with thomas' english muffins, make our sundaes with choc. van and strawberry ice cream, syrup the works, some munchie foods, sweet and salty of course and also some veggies in case they like them also. I am renting 2 videos for them to watch and told their parents if they felt uncomfortable with their sons sleeping over alone they could also stay. We have a pullout couch bed so I am going to put the tent ontop of it and let their imaginations run wild, they are boys of course who like the camping, pirate theme. Plus it's low cost you can get all of the stuff at a dollar store or thrift shop.

I have never wanted to have friends over because they're too, like you said, rowdy. What I always have for birthday's is have friends maybe adults, neighbor kids, people from church! The one thing to try and avoid is school kids. Then if you have like gramma and grampa that want to say hi, the other kids will want all the attention. When you don't have a lot of kids games aren't always fun especially for the older kids. Maybe you could have a pinata that's what i always use. That way all the children and adults can hit it. Have lots of food Pizza maybe a could idea or maybe something else you can make something easy. Have fruits and veggies out for guests. Since you don't know all you're neighbors you could send them an invitation to the one's that have children it could be a great way to get to know each other which is alway's great if you want some friends living around you. I hope I gave you a great ideas. If you're son wanted a theme birthday party you could ice the cake with the color or put little decorations on it. Get theme plates and napkins. If you wanted to do a pinata that could be the theme too! If he wanted to have a few school friends you could always go to an arcade like chucky cheese or something. And have all his school friends. Well Gloria I hope this helps you, if you read this can you please email me and tell me what you think, email me at katiecole94 AT yahoo.com hope your son has a great 6th birthday party!

Report Spam or Abuse RE: Need Ideas For 6 Year Old Boy's Indoor Birthday Party Post By Kimberly W (Guest Post) (12/30/2005) I have 3 boys, and they love parties! At the age of 6, it seems as though the girls don't really "bug" them, but they tend to have a lot more fun without the girls... I've done everything imaginable at my house, turned it into every boys theme you can think of, but the one I find to be the easiest in a small space or a birthday party room, is (JUNGLE THEME) which may fit nicely into the Army ideas.. Very easy to find jungle/animal games and prizes.. 6 year olds love prizes no matter what they are, and you can generally find great things at the $1 store that are big and exciting for them.. I like the indoor fishing pond, with a small blow up swimming pool and a fishing pole.. each child gets something.. dancing to music with balloons, keeping them off the ground, and clothes pin in a bottle. I think cupcakes work best for birthday parties, especially if you're going to a party room... they are already cut and in individual packaging! I also buy the individual ice cream cups and Capri sun juices! No cutting, no scooping and no pouring! My kids have all loved it! We save the big cake, for the family! Good Luck! My youngest will be 6 this year as well!

Report Spam or Abuse 6 year old party idea Post By Nana Wramp (Guest Post) (01/19/2005) I was looking for ideas to, I thought of a "costume party" in February. Go to Goodwill, get outfits, fishing pole, bob for apples, pin the tail on Daddy's britches and cake and icecream. Remember the clue is to keep the number of guests to the same as the age of the child, 6=6guests. If you get cheap outfits the kids can take them home. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Need Ideas For 6 Year Old Boy's Indoor Birthday Party Post By Melody (Guest Post) (01/11/2005) I adhere to the one child per age rule for birthdays (my kids are April & Sept.) and then we have an invite everyone party outdoors in the park in nicer weather. If you go with the army man theme, try doing a boot camp modified for your living room (or garage if possible). String ropes across the room 12" off the floor for a "mud crawl" on their bellies, walls/boxes to climb over, have a magnetic dart firing range (you could use cookie sheets with sticker targets and kitchen magnets if you don't have a dart set) or a bean bag toss made with holes in a box (painted with camoflage of course - good prep job for your son to do) and old socks filled with rice, stomp the balloons (or bubble wrap sheets) with stickers inside each balloon - but no grabbing stickers until all balloons are popped and "clean up" reveals them on the floor, decorate a helmet made from empty ice cream cartons (not just round but rectangular too), Follow the leader marching exercises (while singing marching jodies you could make up ahead of time "Your right, your right, your right, left, right" type of thing - who said kids shouldn't learn at a party!), treasure hunt with packing peanuts in an old wading pool or cardboard box with goodies scattered under the peanuts (plastic soldiers, stickers, pencils, cards, etc.). Ask soldiers what they did at boot camp and scale it down to something managable. Most of these ideas can be adapted to any theme by decorations used. Remember, boys like to move and/or get messy and/or loud (preferably all 3) so give them safe ways to do it.

They now play with each other, and want to play in the evening before bed (instead of watching television -- YEAH!) How about inviting parents to stay and having a "card" party, with an adult at each playing area, playing too? Kids seem to love having the attention of an adult. You could play kids card games. "Slap Jack", Crazy Eights, or any child's card game, then give each of the kids their own card game to take home with them - they're very inexpensive and might even be found at the Dollar Store near you. You could have them play as a tournament - 6 year old boys are quite competitive - to see who gets to be "King of the (SlapJack) Hill."

You can get lots of cool ideas from http://www.birthdaypartyideas.com. If you really want to enjoy your son's party along with him you may want to consider inviting no more than 6 friends. I read somewhere that a good rule of thumb is one guest for each year of your child's age. Six kids is manageable without their parents. If you are going to invite the whole class maybe you could suggest that the parents stay also. It would be twice the cake for half the headaches. Good Luck, Dawn M. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Need Ideas For 6 Year Old Boy's Indoor Birthday Party Post by Songbird100 (16) | (01/04/2005) Contact A good rule of thumb is to only invite as many children as the age of your child: 6 years of age equals 6 children invited. Or just invite family, if possible, when he's still that young. Does he have any favorite cartoon/TV characters (maybe GI Joe or action heroes)? I always planned my son's parties around these. Makes it easy to find plates, napkins, tablecloth, etc. You could make a cake yourself or have the local bakery at the grocery store do it for you--they have lots of ideas/examples to choose from with your special theme in mind. Add lots of balloons and drape twisted crepe paper streamers from the ceiling to make it look festive. Perhaps your son could even come up with some suggestions for games that he'd like to play. Good luck and have fun! Report Spam or Abuse RE: Need Ideas For 6 Year Old Boy's Indoor Birthday Party Post By Gloria (Guest Post) (01/04/2005) My son just turned 7 so I am just barely ahead of you. We just moved to our area nine months ago. You could try to find camoflauge decorations or just go with dark green and light green. For the cake I would just ice a cake with chocolate icing and use green sprinkles and put army men on it. If you can find the chocolate rocks you can make a big 6 on the cake. Kids that are that age still love basic games like pin the tail on the donkey. You could pin the helmet on the soldier, Hot potato (pass a GI Joe action figure) Find the handgrenade. Have balloons all over the floor and put a note inside one that says BOOM. The one who steps on it wins. You should be able to find army men packs at the dollar store. They would make good goody-bags. If you have access to a large room, I would invite the whole class. That age has easily hurt feelings. Good Luck! Report Spam or Abuse
