7 year old boy birthday party ideas?

Opt for a theme! A movie, a colur, a style of fancy dress, here are some sggestions: Pirate, red blue and yellow, movie characters, football, or animal theme.

Get the children coming to dress in the theme, and play games based around the theme. E.g if you were doing animal them, play funky animal music, get the children to make masks and play pin the tail on the donkey. If you were opting for a pirate theme for example, make a treasure hunt, and make up a game called walk the plank where you blind fold the children and get them to walk around the room, who ever bumps into somebody else has to "walk the plan" and face a forefeit card which you can make up saying ideas like "crawl around the room like a cat" or "sing a nrsery rhyme".

If you don't want to have a party at your house, there are many other options:

• Try you local sports centre for a fun activity filled party. They normally do a secial all inclusive birthday package with a selection of fun activities to chooses from, party food, and party bags.
• Take your child and a group of his mates to the nearest "bear factory" for a cuddly party and inbrace the inner child.
• Take the birthday boy and a few friends to a near nature reserve, or animal sanctory, pack a picnic and treat them to an ice cream and a paddle in the pool. Or fly a bird at a bird sactory!
