Summer is right around the corner and with it comes every parents' favourite time of the year... School holidays! Make sure your kids never have to complain about being bored with these awesome ideas for a summer party. Hosting a party for kids in the school holidays can be a daunting prospect, but Party Savers can make it simple with these awesome ideas for a summer party that your kids will remember for many summer holidays to come!
1. Throw an ice cream party
What better way to kick off the summer season than with an ice cream party? Ice cream is a must during summer and we all have fond memories of slurping down ice blocks on hot summer afternoons. A fun and versatile theme, you can decorate using pastel shades and set up a delicious create-your-own sundae table indoors with a variety of toppings and flavours for children to get creative with!
For a fun twist, why not encourage your guests to bring their favourite types of ice cream, ranging from gelato and mochi to kulfi and paletas? This ensures that a wide variety of ice creams are available to kids, while also catering for a range of dietary requirements. Fun, simple and memorable!
2. Backyard water games
Your only limit is your imagination with this theme! Kids will love an afternoon spent cooling off with sprinklers, water balloons, Slip 'N Slides, bubbles and water guns. A backyard water games party keeps kids busy and active on hot summer days, providing a fun and healthy way to burn off some energy! Visit Party Savers to check out our range of summer party décor and pick up items for your next backyard water games party, such as our water pistols.
3. Throw a jungle party
A jungle party is a perfect theme for hosting a party in your backyard, as it's the easiest to decorate! Encourage your kids and their friends to dress up as their favourite wild animals and spend a fun afternoon hosting a jungle party with face painting and jungle-themed games such as Sleeping Lions (perfect when you need a moment of peace!) and jungle animal charades. Check out the range of jungle-themed decorations and party supplies available at Party Savers!
4. Host a sports day
Much like a party with backyard water games, a sports day can be a fun and creative way for your kids to burn off all their excess energy this summer. Keep your kids and their guests entertained for hours with fun sports games such as sack races, dodge ball and foam sports (foam soccer can be a big crowd pleaser and played indoors)!
Sports days are easy to organise and require little equipment. Browse through the list of sports-themed decorations and party supplies on the Party Savers website for more inspiration!
5. Host a picnic/movie night under the stars
On particularly hot days, you could also host a party as the sun goes down and the temperature drops a little, with a fun picnic and movie screening under the stars. This one does take a bit of planning and is made easier with the provision of a projector and screen. It can also make for a memorable party if you bring out the fixings for smores and pop some popcorn to go with the movie night - your kids and their friends are sure to have a blast! You'll also enjoy this stress-free party idea and kick back to watch a movie or two with your kids - fun for everyone!
