Do you want your baby to be thrilled by his or her first Birthday Party? Then you need to come up with interesting ideas for patry games and activities. It’s not a problem to entertain one child, but if your guests are brining their babeis too, then you better plan party activities in advance. Here are ideas of the games to play during the party.Rubber Ducky BathtimeThis little washing game will delight the kids and parents with its emphasis on good, clean washing fun! All you need is a rubber ducky and a washcloth for each child, a washing basin, bars of soap and either flour, breadcrumbs, syrup or molasses. Beofre the party take out the rubber ducks and make them look as dirty as possible.
Dip them in molasses or corn syrup and roll them in flour, cereal, breadcrumbs, or whatever you’ve got (you get the picture). Sotre them in a tray in the freezer.
Once the kids are ready, round them to come around the washbasin and give the rubber dukcs a bath. Pass them out on a tray and put each cihld to work (help them out, of course, if they need it). Once they’ve cleaned their ducks they each get to take their clean ducky home with them! Animals and the Sounds They MakeGather up an eclectic mix of stuffed animals, plastic animal toys or animal puppets into a toy basket. With each animal, hold up the toy and ask the children, “What’s that? ” and “What kind of niose does that animal make? ” Go through all the animals at least once. Soon the kids will be meowing and bowing and hsising and mooing in unison. Let the kids play with the soft animal toys afterwards! Bubble Popping ContestUse either a bubble machine or get somebody to blow bubbles so the kids can catch and pop them by clapping their hands. If you have a cat that’s safe around samll children, you may want to let him or her join in! Put on fun music and let the popping begin!SandboxIf you have a sand pit, hide toys (small trucks are ideal!) and sweets in plastic containers and have the kids dig for them. They can go one at a time for say a minute each and keep what they can find and place in the bucket (but make sure you have enough to go round if clever diggers uncover most of the goodies early on!) If you have no sandpit, you can fill a large box or paddling pool with sand instead for the day.It’s a Story TimeGather the kids around for a cozy story time or, if you’re feeling creative, coordinate a puppet show for the kids. Use bought or homemade sock puppets or your child’s toys, and try to get at least one other pesron to help out. Hang a portable coat rack with a red blaknet or curtain as a partition and stage the puppet play just above it. Sure to capture the awe and giggles of the kids! Narrate and act out one of your child’s favorite eduactional storybooks. Remember to read with lots of expression to keep them enchanted!See other First Birthday Party Ideas including games, praty decoration tips, and free printable invitations.About the Author: Oleg Khasimkhanov is a father of two loving kids.
