So how do you do it?1) Enlist the help of the Birthday child or older kids at the party to tell everyone that the games are starting.
2) Be confident and use your “big voice” to announce the start of the party games in an excited and animated way.
3) Be Confident and Bring the children to the area where the games are happening and have them sit down, so that they don’t run off or become distracted. Or start with warm up, so that you can capture everyones attention. \n\n[/cs_content_seo][/cs_element_layout_column][/cs_element_layout_row][cs_element_layout_row _id=”34″ ][cs_element_layout_column _id=”35″ ][cs_element_image _id=”36″ ][/cs_element_layout_column][cs_element_layout_column _id=”37″ ][cs_element_headline _id=”38″ ][cs_content_seo]Warm Up\n\n[/cs_content_seo][cs_element_text _id=”39″ ][cs_content_seo]Get the kids ready for the games with a warm up; tell the kids something like the following ” Most important before the games, we need to warm up, so every one follow me!” Show them Jumping jacks, running man, leg kicks, toe touches, anything silly always starts things out well.

Start off by asking who knows how to play “tug of war”? To get a good idea of how many children already know the game. This also creates an element of excitement. 2) Next make the 2 teams, choose the team names, put the two teams in place for the game. Then explain how the rest of the game works. 3) Create Camaraderie by asking ” team 1 are you ready?” the ” team 2 are you ready?” then the count down. \n\n[/cs_content_seo][/cs_element_layout_column][/cs_element_layout_row][cs_element_layout_row _id=”46″ ][cs_element_layout_column _id=”47″ ][cs_element_image _id=”48″ ][/cs_element_layout_column][cs_element_layout_column _id=”49″ ][cs_element_headline _id=”50″ ][cs_content_seo]Birthday Child is King\n\n[/cs_content_seo][cs_element_text _id=”51″ ][cs_content_seo]Never loose sight of why you are at the event in the first place.
