Unique Kid Party Ideas

The title of Christina\’s topic was reaching Kids with Creativity and Traditions. She also shared fun party ideas…

*Christina has 3 girls, so one idea she shared was a Baby Shower Party. I know my daughter LOVES babies and her dolls, so when she gets older I can imagine that being a hit!

*For older kids and teens, a \”tent city\” party. Christina and her husband made the choice to not allow her girls to go to sleepovers. However, they did put in the effort to pick up the girls late at these parties. So, once a year, they had a tent city party. Each girl would invite a certain number of friends, and they would set up stations (crafts, food, games, etc..) and the girls would rotate stations so each sister would be able to spend that time with her own friends and experience the sleepover.

*Hosting a dinner for Sunday School teachers (one could do this for coaches, scout leaders, youth leaders, etc…) Once a year, her girls would host a dinner for their Sunday school leaders. As they got older, their level of responsibility increased. They would serve the meal, cook, create a budget, shop, plan the menu (ask the guest about food preferences). Mom and Dad would get to have a meal with the teachers! I like this idea because one can increase the level of responsibility with age, and it seems it would develop an incredible sense of accoplishemnt in kids. Imagine being 10 and being part of a team that just took care of adults. Pretty cool.
