Birthday Party Ideas

Birthday Ideas for Girls (Ages 6-9)

  1. Fairy Tale Adventure: Turn your backyard into a magical fairy tale land. Use the Backyard Hunt app to create a scavenger hunt that leads the kids through enchanted forests (your garden), castles (playhouses), and dragon lairs (decorated areas). Each clue can involve solving puzzles related to their favorite fairy tales.
  2. Princess Treasure Hunt: Organize a treasure hunt where each clue leads to a piece of princess attire (tiara, wand, necklace) hidden around the yard. The final treasure could be a special birthday gift or a royal party favor.
  3. Animal Safari: Create a safari adventure where kids can find and learn about different animals. Use stuffed animals or animal pictures and hide them around the yard. Each clue can provide a fun fact about the animal they are looking for.

Birthday Ideas for Girls (Ages 10-13)

  1. Mystery Detective Hunt: Older girls will love playing detective. Set up a mystery hunt where they must solve clues to find out “who did it.” Each clue can involve different detective tasks such as fingerprint analysis (use stamp pads) or decoding secret messages.
  2. Fashion Show Hunt: Create a runway-themed hunt where each clue leads to a new piece of fashion or accessory. At the end of the hunt, have a mini fashion show where the girls can showcase their finds.
  3. Science Adventure: Turn your yard into a science lab. Create a hunt where each clue involves a fun science experiment. This could include making slime, volcanoes, or simple circuit experiments.

Birthday Ideas for Boys (Ages 6-9)
