[Childcare] Performances that excite birthday parties (11–20)
Quiz
Let’s enjoy a quiz with the children at the birthday party.
It’s fun when the caregiver asks the questions, but letting the birthday kids who are turning four or five be the quizmasters can really liven things up! With a silhouette quiz, the children asking the questions only need to show the papers in order, so they don’t have to memorize any difficult lines.
To the younger kids, the older ones running the quiz will look like role models.
Coming up with topics and preparing them is part of the fun, too.
Be sure to create a quiz that everyone can enjoy together.
Hand dance
A hand dance performed with gloved hands that really stands out against a black backdrop.
With this hand dance, even teachers who aren’t confident at dancing will be fine! Pick songs kids love, put on gloves, and dance by moving your hands to keep the rhythm.
Start with white gloves, then switch to colorful gloves at the end—children will be thrilled.
It’s also fun for them to guess, “Which hands are Ms./Mr.
○○’s?” Planning the staging is enjoyable too, and adding patterns to the gloves makes it extra cute.
hand play song
For the opening of a birthday party, be sure to include fingerplay songs.
They not only help children have fun while they wait for the party to begin, but also help them understand, “The birthday party is about to start.” Since birthday parties bring together children of various ages, it’s best to choose fingerplays with simple actions and lyrics.
When everyone shares a cheerful atmosphere, it naturally encourages them to express their feelings of celebrating their friends.
The most important point is for the caregiver to have fun and liven up the birthday party!

Kids love putting things in a bowl and mixing them, don’t they? So this time, let’s make a birthday cake together.
We’ll use a sketchbook that flips from the top, allowing the illustrations to change along with the story.
There’s a bowl drawn at the bottom, so please add the ingredients—eggs, sugar, flour, butter, and so on—in order to complete the cake.
If everyone does a mixing motion each time you add an ingredient, it really feels like you’re cooking and it’s a lot of fun.
