If you’re hosting a kids birthday party, make sure that you plan the entertainment well in advance. The little ones can be quite demanding when it comes to keeping their attention and there’s a whole host of activities available to help keep them engaged, from children’s party characters to inflatable castles and dancefloors.
Many children’s entertainers specialise children’s party entertainment services in a particular field and will tailor their performance to suit your event. When browsing profiles, look for pictures and videos to get a feel for their style of act and the type of audience they cater for. You can also see what previous clients have said about their performance. Be sure to check whether they have DBS clearance (police checks carried out by the Disclosure and Barring Service) as this is a legal requirement in some areas.
A skilled ventriloquist can really hold the attention of a young crowd, and children will be entranced by their gripping stories, dramatic flair and dummy comedy. They can even bring along puppets and props to add an extra dimension to the show.
Face painting is always popular and a great way to add a magical element to your event. Kids will love transforming into their favourite animal, princess or superhero and many children’s entertainers will provide hypoallergenic paints which are safe on the skin.
Some children’s entertainers will perform in pairs, or with a group of friends, to offer a more bespoke experience for your child’s guests. This can be a more affordable option and can provide a more intimate, interactive performance.
If your children’s party has a sporting theme, you can hire professional sports-based entertainers to take the kids through skills and games. This is a great idea for boys and girls parties, and can range from football to gymnastics or rugby.
A kids’ party entertainer who can juggle and spin plates is always a hit with the youngsters, and can create a fun atmosphere for the whole room. They can also provide music, dancefloors and props to create a themed experience.
Medieval-themed party entertainment can really impress the children, and will provide a fantastic focal point for your event. Costumed entertainers can take the form of knights and ladies, and bring a real sense of authenticity to your event.
A bouncy castle is the ultimate children’s party must-have, and will ensure that kids have plenty of energy to burn. You can hire these from a number of different companies, and you can usually book online or over the phone. They’re easy to set up, and can be removed quickly when your party is over, which means they’re a great addition to a home party.
