Stress Free Eight Year Old Birthday Party Ideas!

But the title actually means low-stress for parents. Kids at this age like to run around and express themselves, so sometimes, activities can do wonders for them until they wind down. During this stage, you can expect that a refreshments station set up in a corner can do wonders for the guests whether young or old alike.

Scavenger Hunt Birthday

Who doesn’t enjoy a scavenger hunt? You will need a list of things to look for in the birthday venue. You can also give your guests a time limit to work with. Depending on the number of guests you have, divide them into different coloured teams, of four to five kids each. You can give out clues on the list like “something for your feet” or “a vessel for liquid”, these are what makes an interesting list and your little guests can run around validating all their guesses. Don’t forget to give them a clock so that they are right on time. It’s one of those no sweat kids party games that let them stretch their imagination.

Marbles Birthday Theme

It’s an oldie but goodie theme where marbles are the centre of attention. Here, anything round goes. There are actually some party decorations that are dual purpose. You can conduct a Guess and Win game by pouring in different types of marbles into different, shaped jars and ask the kids to guess how many are inside. You can count how many are actually inside right in front of the children and give a prize to the closest guess there is. Your balloons can also look like marbles if you use the tiny, matte ones.

Mad Hatter Birthday Party

It’s a simple theme and yet anybody can be a part of it. Imagine different guests arriving in different hat designs. It’s something that almost anybody has, and it’s inexpensive. Print a silhouette of an over-the top hat design for the invitations, and you can ask kids to talk about their choice of hat and a few questions like “is it something they see themselves doing in the near future?” just like show and tell. You can also hire your very own Mad Hatter from Fly By Fun, Australia’s leading company when it comes to entertainers for different events. Now that’s one kids party entertainment idea off your list.

The Amazing Race Birthday

All you have to do is establish different stations where you can drop clues for your guests. In each station, you can give them riddles to solve, ranging from easy to the more difficult. In each station, you can leave a clue so that at the end of the “race” your teams can put together a message or piece them all together for a bigger puzzle. There are free printables all over Pinterest where you can pick up ideas and retrofit them for the birthday party you are organising. As for party food ideas, you can go around the world.

It’s a kinaesthetic activity that combines music and moves, not to mention it can be a skill to impress an audience.

We have used Fly By Fun exclusively for over three years and will continue to do so. The team have a great vibrancy that the children adore and respond well to. Keeping toddlers engaged, happy and motivated for several hours is a rare talent, which in turn gives the adults a rare gift – time out! Nothing is ever too hard for the team at Fly By Fun!

For the last 2 years I have used Fly by Fun for our Christmas Family Day. The whole process has always been so seamless, from the booking process to the team that arrive on the day. Wrangling 120 children can be no easy task but the team manage it with such ease and make it look like a walk in the park. I couldn’t recommend Fly by Fun enough, they help add that special touch to our family event!

Frequently Asked Questions

There is no minimum or maximum number of children that can attend the party. Based on the number of children that are attending, we will typically recommend a certain length and number of entertainers for the party. If you are having more than 25 children, then we recommend having two entertainers.

As a rule of thumb, we typically recommend a 1hr party for up to 12 children, 1.5 hours if you are having 12-20 children, and 2hrs for more than 20 children.

The length of the party and number of entertainers ensures that there is enough time for all children to enjoy the activities and ensures that our kids party entertainers can provide adequate attention and supervision for your little ones.

We have kids party entertainers to suit children aged 1 – 15 with a diverse range of different themes, activities, and entertainers to suit different ages. With more than 100+ different themes and countless different activities to suit your child, we’ve got something that is going to suit just about everyone.

We are a mobile party entertainment company, so we can come to you – wherever that may be. Some of the most popular venues include backyards, parks, function centres, and halls. We can provide indoor and outdoor party entertainment so if it looks like the weather is going south, you can always reschedule to a dry, indoor venue.

Our kids party entertainers can adapt to your space – big or small. As a minimum, we would recommend that you provide enough space so that all guests can comfortably sit in a large circle.

Our entertainers will provide everything that is needed including music, slap band prizes, stickers, and everything else that is needed to keep them entertained. You’ll just need to provide the tables, chairs, and food and drinks for the party.
