Age matters more than the theme

With a children's party, the children's age matters more than the theme you choose. With six to eight-year-olds, a task has to be short and immediately clear, otherwise their attention drifts. From around ten, a storyline can run much longer and the tasks can be properly tricky. So we first ask about the age and the number of children, and only then about what you had in mind yourself.

Almere is a young city with lots of families, and you can see that in the kinds of parties held there: children from a school class, neighbourhood children, or a birthday that half a class turns up for. With groups like that, the numbers are often bigger than the space at home allows. So we look at the space first and only then at the programme. If it's too tight at home, a small hall, a community centre or a patch of park works just as well, and we adapt the tasks to what's possible there.

What we ask before we come up with anything

  • The age of the children and how many there are
  • How much time you have and where it's taking place
  • Whether parents join in or just watch

Where the party can take place

  • At your home, indoors or in the garden
  • In a hall, community centre or canteen
  • Outdoors in a park, if the weather plays along

Frequently asked questions

Why do you ask about age first and not the theme?

Because the age determines how long a task can last and how complicated it can be. We can build a theme around almost any set-up afterwards, but a programme that doesn't suit the age won't work with any theme.

How many children can take part?

Anything from around six to thirty children works well. With larger groups we split into teams and bring extra hosts, so nobody is left waiting for their turn.

Do we, as parents, have to do anything on the day?

No. We bring the materials and run the party ourselves, including the hosting. You only need to arrange the space and the food and drink. You're welcome to join in, of course, and children often love that.
