More than waiting for Sinterklaas

At many Sinterklaas parties the children sit in a hall for an hour waiting for Sinterklaas to arrive. They get restless, parents stand up, and by the time he walks in half of them are tired. A games programme beforehand gives the children something to do and builds the excitement instead.

We set up a Piet gym in the hall, have the children do challenges in small groups and finish by handing out a Piet diploma. Parents can watch or have a coffee.

What the children do

Piet gym

A course through the hall: balancing across the roof, crawling through the chimney and throwing presents into the chimney. Each child does it at their own pace.

The Great Book is missing

A short scavenger hunt in the hall or the building. The children follow clues and find the book just in time.

Finding pepernoten

In small groups, searching for hidden pepernoten and bringing them to the Piet's bag as fast as possible.

The Piet diploma

After the training, every child gets a diploma with their own name on it. They can proudly show it to Sinterklaas.

How the afternoon goes

  1. 14:00The children arrive and are split into small groups. We're already set up and waiting.
  2. 14:10Piet gym and pepernoten hunt. The groups rotate between activities.
  3. 14:50The Great Book turns out to be missing. All the children help to find it.
  4. 15:15The Piet diplomas are handed out. Then it's time for Sinterklaas, if he's coming.

For younger and older children

Younger children do everything at a calmer pace, with short challenges and plenty of help. Children from around seven get harder clues and play in teams against each other. With a mixed group, we make the groups by age.

For the parents too

Are the parents staying after the children's programme? Then we can add a short game for adults, such as a present game with a story or a Sinterklaas quiz. Mention it in your enquiry.

A Sinterklaas programme starts at €195 for the whole group. The price depends on the number of children, the duration and how much is customised.

Frequently asked questions

Are you bringing Sinterklaas too?

We provide the games programme. If you've already arranged your own Sinterklaas, we'll build the programme around his visit, so the children are ready when he walks in. Say in your enquiry whether Sinterklaas is coming and at what time, and we'll take it into account.

Will you come to our own venue?

Yes. A canteen, sports hall, clubhouse or hall you already have. We bring the materials, set up before the children arrive and clear up afterwards.

Do you also travel outside Twente?

Yes. For venues outside Twente a travel allowance may apply, which is then listed separately in the proposal.

How far in advance should we book?

Most Sinterklaas parties fall in the last two weekends of November and the first weekend of December. Those Saturdays go first, so ideally enquire a few weeks ahead. Short notice? Just ask, sometimes it's still possible.

What do you need in the room?

An open stretch of floor for the Piet gym and a power socket. We're happy to use benches and mats from a sports hall if they're available. We bring the rest.

A Sinterklaas party the children will be talking about?

Give us the date and the number of children. Within one working day you'll know what's possible.
