The truth about parties for young ones….
We ran this party for 6yr olds at the weekend. We had a lot of fun and it was going really well. We played lots of dance games and then taught the chosen routine (to Katy Perry’s ‘Roar’ of course - for the millionth time 😆).
After the break when it was time to do the performance for the parents, some of them changed their minds, and then some others followed suit…. They just didn’t want to perform.
We know how amazing you feel after a performance, but also now nervous and shy you can get beforehand too. So we took the pressure off and said they didn’t have to perform if they didn’t want to.
So the birthday girl chose another game to play and they all relaxed. But after that we gently suggested they do the performance in the garden (as the parents were out there). Suddenly they were up for it again - yay!
So it did happen in the end, and the parents loved it. But we don’t ever push too hard. We want them to have fun and enjoy the party, so our parties are often led by the children. If they want more games we do that, or if they want a full on dance routine, we GO FOR IT!
