Children and adults together during a game
Also for those who stay

Siblings and parents who stay to watch

At a children's party there are almost always more people than just the invited guests. A brother of four who is too young for the challenges, a sister of thirteen who is too old, and two or three parents who don't leave. Without a role, those become three little groups standing at the edge, and that draws attention away from the children who are taking part. We solve that by involving them: the oldest helps a team, the youngest gets a small task of their own, and the parents staff a station or keep the score.

That only works if we know beforehand, so tell us in your enquiry who else will be there and how old they are. Then we build those roles into the programme instead of thinking something up on the spot. Otherwise the same applies as always: we need a room or a piece of garden, power, and an indication of the number of children. Parents who would rather just watch don't have to do anything, of course.

Roles for those who are there

  • Older brother or sister: helps a team or leads an element
  • Younger brother or sister: a task of their own that suits their age
  • Parents: staff a station or keep the score

What we want to know beforehand

  • Who else is there and how old they are
  • Whether parents want to join in or would rather watch
  • The number of children and the age of the birthday child

Frequently asked questions

My youngest is too small for the challenges, what then?

A younger brother or sister gets a task of their own with us that suits their age, such as giving the starting signal or handing out stamps. That way the child is part of it without holding up the challenges.

Can parents join in the game?

Letting parents join in works well, as long as they have a role of their own and don't play against the children. We usually put them at a station or on the score, because that gives the children the feeling that it really counts.

How many adults can stay?

The number of adults who stay isn't a problem, as long as the space allows it. Do let us know when you enquire, though, because ten parents watching in a living room changes how much room is left to move.

Do siblings and parents count towards the price?

Siblings and watching parents don't count as extra participants. We look at the group that plays the programme and at the duration. If many extra people get an active role, extra hosts may be needed, and that will simply be in the proposal.
