Going to be
at Heritage Square, CO for someone's birthday? Celebrate throughout
the day with these fun ways to keep the birthday fun going!
These ideas
are sponsored by the Great Heritage Square Adventure Challenge -
Watch the video below for details!
Make a game
out of their actual age number - see how many times you can find
that number throughout the day at Heritage Square, CO. For example, if the birthday
boy/girl is turning 21, everyone must look for the number '21' throughout
Heritage Square, CO. Award one point to the FIRST person who finds a new one throughout
the day and add up the points at the completion. You might find
numbers on height requirement signs, menus, ticket pricing signs,
phone numbers, etc.
Make up shirts
for all those going to Heritage Square, CO with the birthday boy/girl that say
something fun like "It's Tim's Birthday today!" or "Point
and smile at Tim - he's 18 today!"
Plan
a fun scavenger hunt throughout the day at Heritage Square,
CO. There are all different types of scavenger hunts to go on,
each with a different format. Although for some parties having
different teams compete with each other can be a lot of fun,
for someone's birthday when there is one person to honor, it's
typically best to have everyone on the same team - everyone
gets to help the birthday boy/girl be successful when one
person wins, they all win! These can be a lot of fun to create,
but can take some extra work to make creative (sometimes you'll
need more than just a list to excite some teens, for example.)
Consider our GREAT
ADVENTURE CHALLENGE AT Heritage Square, CO - a package for
them to open once there filled with all kinds of puzzles and
things to do! CLICK
HERE to learn more!
Head of times,
write down on small pieces of paper different topics for memories
to share about the birthday boy/girl while standing in line or throughout
the day. For example, you may choose that every 30 minutes a different
person (NOT the birthday boy/girl) will draw a piece of paper out
of a hat - perhaps the first one says "FUNNY." That person
will then share a funny story about the birthday boy to share with
everyone. This is a great way to encourage the birthday boy/girl
throughout the day!
Gather a bunch
of trivia to create questions about the actual year the birthday
boy/girl was born. This could be about everything from movies, music,
political leaders/current events and even the price of gas! Ask
a few questions each time there is a lull in the fun (I.e. waiting
in line, etc.) and keep track of who gets the most correct answers
throughout the day. Give a prize at the end for the winner. The
prize could be something special that they get to do WITH the birthday
boy/girl!
Pick different
events that happened in the birthday boy/girl's life - events that
happened somewhat close to each other. For example, different sets
might include: (first tooth, crawled, sat up) or (learned ABC's,
ride a bike, poured his/her own milk). This will work for adult
events as well including (first girlfriend, first job, broke leg.)
Everyone else there will have to guess the ORDER that the events
happened. Award points as you go and determine a winner at the end
of the day. This is a great activity to play while there are lulls
in the fun (I.e. while standing in lines)
Bring a bunch
of small cake candles with you to Heritage Square, CO and stick them in EVERY
bit of food that the birthday boy/girl eats for the day - to blow
out the candles each time. It will get to be a lot of fun as they
blow out the candles on their birthday hot dog, birthday churro
and birthday soda!
Have the birthday
boy/girl wear a funny hat/shirt/outfit so that as they walk around
Heritage Square, CO everyone will know it's their birthday. In this way, other
visitors at Heritage Square, CO will be able to with them a happy birthday!
Wrap a single
gift many times, preferably with different colors/types of wrapping
paper and containers (though not necessary.) Give the birthday boy/girl
the gift at the beginning of the day and tell them that they can
unwrap ONE layer in each line that they wait in. Don't tell them
how many layers there are - let them wonder if each layer will be
their last! If you don't plan on going on many rides/attractions,
you can also have them unwrap one layer every hour.
If you'd like
to give them a gift for them to open AT Heritage Square, CO, consider putting
it in a locker first and then wrapping up the key to the locker
in a little gift bag. This way you won't have to carry around the
gift all day and it's always fun and mysterious to get a 'secret
key' as a gift! This also works especially well if you're planning
a treasure hunt or scavenger hunt inside Heritage Square, CO.
