Nine. Whew. The first day your child was just a toddler, all of a sudden he or she is expressing personal opinion and observations, mingling with friends and just cannot stop growing up. Kids at this age can now look forward to completing tasks as part of the party games that you have prepared, not to mention you can encourage them to be silly as a way to have fun. Here are some top ideas that you should try out as your child turns nine.

1. Backward Party

If it’s silly you’re after, you’re definitely going to gain some laughs with this one. You can set everything backward. Starting from the moonwalk, to reversing banners and place cards in reverse, even the meals can be served in reverse, desserts first (yey!). Your guests can also dress backwards. You will need bigger spaces here though and a lot of guidance if the kids will attempt to walk backwards. Favors for this party can be silly putty. Of course, a naked cake is a popular choice for party food ideas, and it fits into the theme effortlessly.

2. Birthday Brunch

Here’s where you see your child practice his or her social skills. At this age, it’s best to observe how your child can interact with other children, and entering into socialization events such as Birthday Brunch can be a good idea to instil manners into a growing child. Popular ideas for this kids party themes are pastries, fruits and you get to see which child is used to waking up quite a bit early at this age. Not to mention, it’s also a budget friendly theme for everybody. To be truly unique, you can present a mix of cake samplers for your guests. This theme can have a focus on cakes, macarons and sparkly juices, adding a grown-up twist for a nine year old birthday theme.

3. Olympics Party

Fly By Fun is Australia’s leading children’s entertainment company providing top entertainment for birthday parties, and one staple is the talented and fun-loving entertainers for kids parties of all ages. One sure way to win the hearts of young kids is to hold a sports party where they are free to run around and engage each other in friendly competition. During this time, kids will have a sense of good sportsmanship. As for creative party food, allow your young guests to indulge in festive sports colours like blue lemonade, and fresh fruit such as kiwi, pineapple, blueberries, strawberries and other associated colours of Olympic rings. For your DIY party decorations ideas, you can even add a torch to complete the theme. You can also add some tiny flags and reward winners with medals for fun souvenirs!

4. Discovery Party

Mind games are a great way to get kids engaged. Mind games don’t have to be intricate, you can design them to be just appropriate for kids aged nine years old and use many brain teasers at your disposal. This theme can be called a Discovery party and you can bring together puzzles and tricks as well as mad scientists to perform and catch the interest of your young guests on this special day.

5. Today’s Detectives Solve The Crime

You know how kids like to be rewarded? A newspaper clipping of detective news can provide just the right motivation for nine year olds, and you can create a walk-in gallery of famous detectives on the way to the party venue, and at the end an opportunity for them to dress up and take their photos as detectives with mustaches and pipes. You can give them a mystery to solve (after setting up a fake crime scene) such as a stolen gem and help them out with missing clues. It’s a great activity for children who are naturally inquisitive. The props for this one is fun, you can use caution tape, and the fun part is a detective’s suitcase filled with detective equipment like latex gloves, fingerprint powder, magnifying glass, tweezers and an optional map. You will be able to build up excitement and curiosity and it’s a sure way to make a memorable birthday party in terms of kids party entertainment.

Also, it’s good to encourage them to have fun and to promote sportsmanship especially if there’s a little competition involved. The ideas here are not just for kids but for adults as well, don’t forget to supervise the kids and enjoy yourselves too!

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.

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.

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.
