Children's party
in Eindhoven
A party that suits the age of the group, with challenges that are not too long and not too easy. From €15 per child.
Six-year-olds need something different from eleven-year-olds
At a children's party, the age of the children matters more than the theme. With six to eight-year-olds, a challenge needs to be explained in two sentences and finished within about five minutes, because after that attention drifts and the first children start doing something else. From around nine, a challenge can have several steps and may include something that doesn't work straight away. With eleven and twelve-year-olds it only really works when there is something to win and when they are allowed to discuss among themselves without an adult watching.
That is why the first things we ask about are the age of the birthday child and the spread within the group, because six children who are all exactly eight is something different from a group aged six to eleven. After that we choose the length of the rounds and the difficulty of the challenges. Beyond that we need little: a room or a piece of garden, power, and an idea of the number of children. We bring the materials and the hosting.
What changes with each age
- Six to eight years: short rounds, explanation in two sentences
- Nine to ten years: several steps per challenge
- Eleven and twelve years: a league table and room to discuss among themselves
What we want to know beforehand
- The age of the birthday child and the spread within the group
- The number of children and whether parents are staying
- The space available, indoors or outdoors
Frequently asked questions
The group ranges from six to eleven years old, does that work?
A mixed-age group works well as long as the challenges have several ways to score. We don't put the older children against the younger ones, but spread them across the teams, so the oldest explain and the youngest carry out.
How long does a round last with young children?
A round lasts about five minutes with six to eight-year-olds, and ten to fifteen with older children. So with the youngest groups we plan more rounds in the same time, because standing still is where it goes wrong.
Can you adjust the game during the party?
Adjusting during the party happens almost every time. If a challenge turns out to be too easy or too hard, the host changes the next round without the children noticing.
Does the price change if the children are older?
Age changes the programme but not the way we calculate. What does count is the number of children, the duration and how much material we need to bring. We give you a specific amount after a short conversation, and it's a single figure, not a range.
