Pitch a Tent Party Kids Love
Kids all love camping, so if you intend to plan a party for your kid, pitching a tent party is a very good idea.
There are different types of tent parties you could plan.
Most tent parties are planned outdoors, like in your backyard or on a campground.
Set up a campfire (if it is legal) and sit around telling stories or chatting or playing a musical instrument and singing.
Get ready some food like hotdogs and marshmallows to be roasted.
Other times, mostly because the weather does not permit outdoor camping, tent parties take place indoor, such as in the bedroom, living room or other room in the house.
Set up a tent in the room and pretend they are camping for the night.
Besides building a fire, the children can participate in some of the activities mentioned above, like telling stories, playing a musical and singing.
The other limitation will be that cooking the hotdogs and marshmallow will have to be done in the microwave instead.
Besides hot dogs, other food served can include mini-pies, grilled cheese sandwiches, min-pizzas and hamburgers.
The upside of indoor parties is that it can be held in all weather and children can stay warm.
Other activities outdoors include a dance contest, hide-and-seek, craft activities, hiking (either around the block or on an outdoor trail on a campground), swimming (if you have a pool or elsewhere) and treasure and scavenger hunts.
Activities that can take place indoors are playing video games, watching movies or having a dance contest too.
To help your indoor camp looks like an outdoor one, decorate your home with either real or fake tree leaves, rocks and a fake fire pit.
Try to make it look as authentic as possible.
Depending on whether the party is indoors or outdoors, you will also need sleeping bags, bug spray, blankets, pillows, toy binoculars, bouncing balls a football, basketball or volleyball, musical instruments, CD player or other audio device, paper cups, plates and other plastic utensils and toiletries (for overnight trips).
If you intend to take the kids to a special camping resort, then more long term planning is required and you may decide to take a smaller group.
Another good idea will be to consult some parents whose children you intend to invite.
They may be willing to help you to chaperone or plan the event with you.
Taking care of a bunch of kids is no small feat but can be a very rewarding one.
