Provisions for Kids at Parties
Kid’s parties are parents’ parties too!
Even if the celebrant is a child and the whole place is teeming with kids, parents should have time to socialize and mingle. A sure solution to this would be to provide activities for kids to participate in while their parents talk and eat.
A kiddie host must be hired to entertain and moderate the kids’ activities, as well as ‘table watchers’, who will subtly monitor the interaction among kids.
Some suggestions for activities would be:
1. arts and crafts tables
2. cake making contests
3. play dough
4. sandbox and mini playgrounds
5. parlor games (such as print and play games)
Hiring a host for Kids’ tables should be done carefully. The ideal traits of such an employee include cheerfulness, patience and friendliness. The coordinator plans the kids’ tables activities with these hosts so that a structured schedule of games and food serving is followed.
