Otherwise, choose games that match the space you\u2019re provided (i.e keep windows and wine glasses out of shooting distance).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Ball Games<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The number of ball games you can organise for the kids is endless. We recommend planning an actual game as opposed to just providing the props. Get the fun started, then the kids will take it from there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When selecting a game, keep in mind that younger kids tend to prefer group-based games, while older kids generally enjoy sports games more. Again, this all depends on the kids themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the games involve a lot of running (and potentially rolling around in the grass) let the parents know in advance so that they can plan spare clothes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ideas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Soccer<\/li><li>Ball tag<\/li><li>Hot potato<\/li><li>Crack up<\/li><li>Grass bowling<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pro-tip: we suggest staying away from games that have a single loser, like \u201cMonkey in the middle\u201d. These games create unnecessary tensions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Propless Outdoor Games<\/strong><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A surprising amount of fun games can be played without any props. There are perfect for younger kids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Again, we recommend planning the game in advance and having an adult kick it off. In fact, the adult might want to play the first few rounds as well\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ideas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/considerable.com\/duck-duck-goose\/\">Duck, duck, goose<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/lifeandstyle\/2008\/nov\/23\/13\">Hide &amp; Seek<\/a>, including all the numerous variations<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.verywellfamily.com\/relay-races-for-kids-1257402\">Crazy relay<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/playtivities.com\/30-funniest-simon-says-ideas\/\">Simon says<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.playworks.org\/game-library\/elbow-tag\/\">Elbow tag<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Lawn Games<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lawn games are giant board games that you can set-up outside for your guests to enjoy (think Alice In Wonderland). You can rent these for the day and they\u2019re great fun for kids and adults alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ideas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Jumbo Tic-tac-toe<\/li><li>Giant Connect 4<\/li><li>Giant Jenga<\/li><li>Bean bag toss<\/li><li>Horseshoe<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pro-tip: when choosing a game, keep in mind the duration, the number of players and the age requirement. For example, a giant chess set might look nice on the lawn but it can take over an hour to play and the rules can be complicated for kids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Bouncy<strong> Castle<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bouncy castles are a popular choice as they can <a href=\"https:\/\/partywizz.com\/search\/kids\/bouncy-castles\">easily be rented for a day<\/a>. Just be aware that some of your adult&#8217;s guests will be dying to try bouncing as well. Choose a castle accordingly\u2026 (And take pictures!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pro-tip: &nbsp;keep in mind the noise from the air fan. It might not be huge but it\u2019s worth placing the castle slightly further away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Carnival games<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Carnival games are ideal for younger kids. However, they do require adult supervision. Consider hiring a minder or an entertainer for the job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When it comes to planning the actual games, there are 2 main approaches you can choose from:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Have a separate stand with the game(s) and let the kids approach the stand to play.<\/li><li>Plan a series of games (4 or 5 should be plenty) and get the kids to play each in turn.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The best option will depend on the number of kids you have and the amount of space you are provided with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ideas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Bean bag toss<\/li><li>Balloon pop<\/li><li>Rubber Duck race<\/li><li>Apple bobbing<\/li><li>Ring toss<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can find a list of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.momjunction.com\/articles\/carnival-games-for-kids_00376923\/#gref\">carnival games<\/a> in this article by Mom Junction. Realistically, the games don\u2019t need to be traditional carnival games. Any game that can be framed as a \u201cchallenge\u201d will do. Just don\u2019t forget to reward the winners with a prize!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Indoor kid\u2019s wedding activities and games<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your wedding is happening indoors, don\u2019t worry. There are some great kids&#8217; activities you can still do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Plan a kids&#8217; corner<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"918\" height=\"590\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.partywizz.com\/blog\/20230313084333\/crayon_image.png\" alt=\"Drawing as a kids wedding activity\" class=\"wp-image-1497\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.partywizz.com\/blog\/20230313084333\/crayon_image.png 918w, https:\/\/assets.partywizz.com\/blog\/20230313084333\/crayon_image-300x193.png 300w, https:\/\/assets.partywizz.com\/blog\/20230313084333\/crayon_image-768x494.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 918px) 100vw, 918px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Depending on the layout of the venue, try to plan a small kids&#8217; corner with different activities to do. For example, drawing, reading or basic DIY crafts.&nbsp; Some kids will be happy to have some quiet and relaxing activities to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ideas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Books<\/li><li>Games<\/li><li>Paper, pens &amp; crayons<\/li><li>Round edge scissors<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Activity bags<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If space doesn\u2019t permit the activity corner, or if you want a more personal approach, plan individual activity bags for the kids. These are similar to party bags; just fill them with fun items to keep the kids busy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ideas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Games<\/li><li>Puzzles<\/li><li>Stickers<\/li><li>Drawing<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pro-tip: Be careful not to include any items that are too messy or too noisy. For some more tips, check out our article on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/partywizz.com\/blog\/family\/activity-pack-guide\/\">putting together an activity pack.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Hire a Kid\u2019s Entertainer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When looking at <a href=\"https:\/\/partywizz.com\/weddings\">hiring an entertainer<\/a> for weddings, we generally have the adults in mind. But you can also book an entertainer to perform for the kids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are 3 main show formats you can book:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>A formal show where the entertainer performs a 40 minute to 2 hour set; This is a formal show for the kids to enjoy.<\/li><li>A strolling entertainer where the performer strolls among the guests, entertaining kids &amp; families small groups at a time.<\/li><li>An entertainer stand that the kids can approach to see a mini-show.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ideas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/partywizz.com\/search\/weddings\/magicians\">Wedding magicians<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/partywizz.com\/search\/weddings\/face-painters\">Face painters<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/partywizz.com\/search\/weddings\/balloon-modellers\">Balloon modellers<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/partywizz.com\/search\/weddings\/clowns\">Clowns<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/partywizz.com\/search\/kids\/party-packages\">Party Packages with games<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pro-tip: when selecting an entertainer, make sure you book entertainment that\u2019s suitable for the age group. As a rule of thumb, if you have a broad age group, choose an entertainer that does a \u201cfamily show\u201d instead of a \u201ckids show\u201d. It will be less targeted at the youngest members but will appeal to everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Traditional Party Games<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With a presentation twist, most traditional party games are great for weddings. You can see a few of <a href=\"https:\/\/partywizz.com\/blog\/family\/games\/7-great-party-games\/\">our favourite party games<\/a> in this article. Again, consider hiring a minder to supervise the games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ideas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Pin the tail on the donkey<\/li><li>Pass the parcel<\/li><li>Duck duck goose<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10. Board games<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It sounds easy, but it\u2019s often overlooked. Plan 4 or 5 board games and choose a designated space for them to be played.&nbsp; This is ideal if you have kids that are slightly older.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For medium to large groups, play games like mafia (or werewolves). If you don\u2019t have the board game, you can always recreate the essentials with pen and paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ideas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Snake and ladders<\/li><li>Queens or Chinese checkers<\/li><li>Monopoly<\/li><li>Twister<\/li><li>The game of life<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pro-tip: You can also ask a few kids to bring their favourite game &amp; teach it to the other kids there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"805\" height=\"537\" src=\"https:\/\/partywizz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/ben-waardenburg-turMjjFKEBE-unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3809\" srcset=\"https:\/\/partywizz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/ben-waardenburg-turMjjFKEBE-unsplash.jpg 805w, https:\/\/partywizz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/ben-waardenburg-turMjjFKEBE-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/partywizz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/ben-waardenburg-turMjjFKEBE-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 805px) 100vw, 805px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Planning tips for kid\u2019s wedding activities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You don\u2019t need to prepare an endless list of activities and games. Just enough to keep the children busy during the reception and towards the end of dinner.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The real key to success is to not forget to plan the small things:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Have an activity schedule<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At weddings, children tend to get split into 3 age groups:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The younger ones who will spend most of the day with the minders&nbsp;<\/li><li>the older ones who will do some activities with the parents and some activities among themselves.<\/li><li>The teenagers who are they\u2019re old enough to do things on their own (and too \u201ccool\u201d to be with the rest of the kid\u2019s).<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before planning anything, make sure you establish a basic activity schedule for the kid\u2019s: Where will each group be throughout the day? And, for the younger ones, who is responsible for looking after them?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next, you can select your activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We recommend having one main activity (for example&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/partywizz.com\/weddings\"><strong>hiring an entertainer<\/strong><\/a>) before dinner, a few simple games that kids can play on their own throughout the day and a simple activity before bedtime (for example a movie).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The real \u201cnightmare\u201d, especially for the younger group, is the reception or the cocktail at the start of the wedding. Spending time chatting to friends and relatives sounds fun to adults but for kids\u2026 it\u2019s pure torment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Professional minders&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have a \u201csignificant\u201d group of kids (more than 5 or 6), we highly recommended you book professional minders for the day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cost is comparatively tiny compared to everything else but will make a huge difference.&nbsp;&nbsp;It provides peace of mind for the parents and they can guide the kid\u2019s through the different activities and ensure they have an amazing time!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Introduce the different groups<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the kids are from different sides of the family or just don\u2019t know each other, make sure you introduce them. Otherwise, they might ignore each other for the entire evening. Help them break the ice to make sure they have a great time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When making the introduction, it\u2019s a good idea to also give them an activity to do. This can be one of the games mentioned previously or just a simple task they could do together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ask the kids if they want to help<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kids will generally be happy to help out during the wedding. Especially if it\u2019s perceived as fun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, you can ask them to find the adults for the photographs. You can also get them to give directions as your guests arrive. You can easily make these activities into games with scoreboards and a prize at the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Plan a Place to Sleep<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Make sure the kids have a place they can escape to if they want to sleep\u2026. It doesn\u2019t have to be anything fancy. A quiet room with a sleeping bag is always welcome, especially if the party is going to be on late. You can use the same space used for the \u201ckids\u2019 corner\u201d that you re-purpose after a certain time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Plan a Movie Area<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not everyone wants to go to bed early. It\u2019s a party after all. Planning a movie for the kids might be the perfect solution. It will also help bring the energy down after the exciting day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Establish the Boundaries<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don\u2019t be afraid to establish some boundaries with your younger guests. For example, if you have a picture stand with Polaroid cameras, make sure the kids are aware that they need to leave some refills for the rest of the guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Delegate the Planning<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you have a rough idea of what you want to plan and you\u2019ve made the bookings (if any), it\u2019s time to delegate the planning. If you\u2019re the bride or groom, you\u2019re going to have more important things to think about. Find someone you\u2019re close too and ask them to sort out all the details. They\u2019ll be delighted to help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re reading this and you aren\u2019t getting married, that means the bride and groom has already delegated the planning. Well done them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">That\u2019s a wrap<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We hope you&#8217;ve enjoyed this content! Remember, keeping the kids happy will definitely make the adults happy. Everyone will enjoy your special day that bit more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At PartyWizz we help parents and party organisers easily book entertainment and key elements of a party online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We pride ourselves in working with the best entertainers in each category \u2013&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/partywizz.com\/search\/kids\/magicians\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>magicians<\/strong><\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/partywizz.com\/search\/kids\/face-painters\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>face painters<\/strong><\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/partywizz.com\/search\/kids\/balloon-modellers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>balloon modelers,<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/partywizz.com\/search\/kids\/princess\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>princess parties<\/strong><\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/partywizz.com\/search\/kids\/art-and-craft\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>arts and crafts<\/strong><\/a>, and many more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re based in Ireland and you\u2019re interested in&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/partywizz.com\/partners\/dublin-kids-entertainers-for-hire\"><strong>hiring a kid\u2019s entertainer<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;you can place the booking directly through PartyWizz<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--HubSpot Call-to-Action Code --><span class=\"hs-cta-wrapper\" id=\"hs-cta-wrapper-e732ec75-174e-4883-b2eb-04ed0962a0f3\"><span class=\"hs-cta-node hs-cta-e732ec75-174e-4883-b2eb-04ed0962a0f3\" id=\"hs-cta-e732ec75-174e-4883-b2eb-04ed0962a0f3\"><!--[if lte IE 8]><div id=\"hs-cta-ie-element\"><\/div><![endif]--><a href=\"https:\/\/cta-redirect.hubspot.com\/cta\/redirect\/3811420\/e732ec75-174e-4883-b2eb-04ed0962a0f3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"hs-cta-img\" id=\"hs-cta-img-e732ec75-174e-4883-b2eb-04ed0962a0f3\" style=\"border-width:0px;\" src=\"https:\/\/no-cache.hubspot.com\/cta\/default\/3811420\/e732ec75-174e-4883-b2eb-04ed0962a0f3.png\"  alt=\"&gt;&gt; Book a Wedding Entertainer Online\"\/><\/a><\/span><script charset=\"utf-8\" src=\"https:\/\/js.hscta.net\/cta\/current.js\"><\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\"> hbspt.cta.load(3811420, 'e732ec75-174e-4883-b2eb-04ed0962a0f3', {\"useNewLoader\":\"true\",\"region\":\"na1\"}); <\/script><\/span><!-- end HubSpot Call-to-Action Code --><\/a><\/span>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Planning wedding activities specifically for kids is an easy way to entertain them while freeing up the adults to enjoy the day even more.
