[Childcare] Birthday party ideas kids can join in: A roundup of crowd-pleasing activities

Nursery Teacher Mom Writertsukada moe
After working for five years at an after-school childcare club and three years at a nursery school, I began working as a freelance writer. I’m a mother of two children. Inspired by playing the flute in the school wind ensemble in elementary school, I joined a jazz club at university. I’ve also incorporated ukulele and piano performance into childcare. Playing, laughing, feeling sad, feeling frustrated—through all kinds of experiences, I want children to grow.

Many children look forward to birthday parties that celebrate the birthday child.

Teachers also have a lot to prepare—songs, performances, and more.

If you’re going to put on a performance, wouldn’t you love to have the children join in and make it lively? If that’s what you’re thinking, this is for you.

Here are some performance ideas perfect for birthday parties, where children can take part!

You’ll see kids happily calling out, thinking about your questions, and reacting with joy.

Sketchbook Theater: ‘Knock, knock, knock♪ Who is it?’

Sketchbook Theater: 'Knock, knock, knock♪ Who is it?'

Sketchbook theater is easy to make and can be played over and over, so it’s a great item to prepare during spare moments.

In this idea, you cut out part of a door drawing to make a “window,” and an animal picture peeks out from there.

Sing along with the teacher and guess which animal it is.

It’s nice to create an atmosphere where children feel free to say whichever animal they think is the answer.

For birthday parties, visibility is key, so try using a large sketchbook or drawing on construction paper and showing it like a picture-story show.

Birthday parties are one of the events children look forward to.

It would be great if teachers could enjoy themselves while making the party lively.
