Ideas on how to spend an 11-year-old child’s birthday at home

The format of the home party is chosen in advance, as well as its theme. It is advisable to plan together with the child to take into account the wishes. The party should be memorable, and the program should be eventful. The sequence of the holiday is very important: a regular change of activities. The holiday program for a girl and a boy is often different.

But don’t forget that it’s a children’s holiday – let the birthday boy calmly have fun with his friends. You should not interfere in the course of action unless necessary.

Here are some tips for a fun birthday party at home:

Age. This is the beginning of adolescence, it’s time to adapt to the child’s characteristics. Build your program taking these features into account. Entertainment should be fashionable, modern and interesting. The birthday boy should feel that he has become older.
Safety. Outdoor games and competitions can be traumatic. So don't forget about safety at the holiday. When choosing competitions, it is important to consider the size of the room. If very active competitions and games are planned, prepare protective equipment for children in advance.
Treats. Active recreation is an energy expenditure. Be sure to include a hot dish, fruits and vegetables, snacks, and sweets in the menu. But you can let the birthday boy think over the menu, even if he chooses pizza and Coca-Cola. And, of course, a cake with candles - the child looks forward to it most of all.
Invitations. Prepare them in advance so that the child gives them to his friends - this will add additional solemnity to the celebration. You can make them together with your child.

Table entertainment

You can also diversify the children's feast. If there is very little space for active entertainment, you can arrange table fights. Puzzles, flip-flops, riddles, crosswords, quizzes, video and audio guessing games. The gaming industry offers us many interesting board and table games.

Many parents want entertainment to not only bring joy, but also be useful to their children. They carried an educational component. It can be easily included in quizzes and quests, as well as in drawing tasks. For example, 3D drawing. It is easy to do and absolutely everyone can do it. Especially, drawing a hand. To do this, you only need a few multi-colored felt-tip pens and the ability to draw semicircular lines. The effect is amazing and the effort is minimal.

When choosing game tasks, remember the main rule: they must fit into the theme of the holiday. You can't fly spaceships at an Indian party and play Vikings on a spaceship.

Well, the birthday boy himself will be happy to help you decide on the theme itself. Ask him what he likes best. This will be the answer to the birthday theme question. Write down the number of tasks and games with a good margin, because the children’s reaction cannot be predicted. If you see that the idea was unsuccessful, change it and move on to the next option. After all, the purpose of any holiday is pleasure.

Quests

A quest is an unusual immersion into a parallel reality, which has its own scenario, course of the game, unexpected turns and developments. Children love this format, where they can be locked in a room or forced to look for a way out in a complex theatrical setting with clues. It becomes especially interesting when the quest is carried out outdoors: at home, in a cafe, on the street, in a park, etc. And for birthday people they will always come up with a special game scenario.

We offer to conduct one of the professional outdoor quests for children in Moscow:

chocolate quest
we are making a film
Harley Quinn. Suicide Squad
Spy Kids
Adams family
Heads and Tails

Gift ideas for an 11 year old child's birthday

A birthday gift should suit the tastes of a growing child. The gift can be either universal, suitable for boys and girls, or chosen taking into account the preferences of the birthday person. We've compiled lists of popular gifts so you have plenty to choose from.

Universal gifts:

Bike. You should definitely first find out if your child’s peers have such a vehicle. After all, it is unlikely that he will ride alone.
Rollers. Children will always find like-minded people in the park or at school. This kind of hobby brings people together.
Sneakers with wheels. These shoes are now very popular among teenagers. If necessary, the wheels can be removed.
Watch. Girls can choose an elegant, fashionable watch model, and boys can choose an electronic one. It’s good if the watch is additionally equipped with a timer, alarm clock, and stopwatch.

Gift ideas based on hobbies:

creative kits;
boxing gloves;
sports uniform;
musical instruments;
microscope;
good books;
boxing gloves;
telescope;
cloth;
gadgets.

It’s worth mentioning separately about creativity kits. Sets for young chemists, for burning, and for modeling are suitable for boys. And girls love to cook, embroider, weave jewelry and create soft toys. Perhaps, by purchasing just one set, you will give your child a hobby for years. But if a child is cold towards creativity, then you shouldn’t force him.

Presents by gender.

Girls like grooming or cosmetic sets. But cosmetics must correspond to the age of the birthday girl! For a boy, you can buy deodorant, shampoo, lotion. He may be starting to learn how to shave at this age.

In addition, girls can be given:

Plush Toys;
bijouterie;
handbag or backpack.

And for the boys:

radio controlled models;
key rings;
purse for pocket money.

What not to give

The following items are not accepted as gifts:

Sharp things can worsen relationships and provoke a quarrel.
Religious paraphernalia - you should first ask about the girl’s preferences.
Intimate items - underwear, personal care products.
Shoes and clothes - such gifts are allowed if you know the sizes.
A comic present is not always appropriate; it is important to take into account the birthday girl’s sense of humor.
Empty dishes - it is assumed that something needs to be put there.
