Going to be
at Legoland Florida for someone's birthday? Celebrate throughout the day with
these fun ways to keep the birthday fun going!
Have the birthday
boy/girl wear a funny hat/shirt/outfit so that as they walk around
Legoland Florida everyone will know it's their birthday. In this way, other
visitors at Legoland Florida will be able to with them a happy birthday!
This is a great
game to play for a larger group (4+). Ahead of time, prepare a list
of fun tasks to do at Legoland Florida at write the out separately on small
pieces of paper - at least enough for each person going. It's best
to have someone else (who is NOT going with you to Legoland Florida) write
them out - someone you can trust. Throughout the day, the birthday
boy/girl periodically pulls one task out and reads it out loud.
He/she then CHOOSES who in the group must complete the task right
then. The rules are that EVERY person completes one task. The birthday
boy/girl cannot look ahead at the different pieces of paper to see
which ones he/she wants to assign or do for himself/herself. This
can also be a great thing to do in the different lines you might
wait in.
Plan
a fun scavenger hunt throughout the day at Legoland Florida.
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 Legoland Florida - a package for
them to open once there filled with all kinds of puzzles and
things to do! CLICK

If you'd like
to give them a gift for them to open AT Legoland Florida, 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 Legoland Florida.
Surprise the
birthday boy/girl with special 'guests.' Do not tell them about
your plans to invite one or more of their friends to join you/him/her
at Legoland Florida. Make it seem like a family trip. Arrange to meet his/her
friend(s) AT Legoland Florida. It will feel like an added gift to see their
friend(s) there when he/she wasn't expecting it!
Make a game
out of their actual age number - see how many times you can find
that number throughout the day at Legoland Florida. For example, if the birthday
boy/girl is turning 21, everyone must look for the number '21' throughout
Legoland Florida. 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.
This activity
is typically best with family (or friends they've known for a very,
very long time) and although it might take some coordinating, it
can have a great impact on the birthday boy/girl. Divide up the
years among everyone going to Legoland Florida with the birthday boy/girl.
For example, if he/she is turning 14, then divide up the years 1-14
among everyone. The goal is to have a unique story to share about
each year in his/her life that can be shared with everyone throughout
the day. For those that are older, it's ok to skip every few years
for the sake of capturing their whole life span. Make sure the stories
are told in order. This also works especially well when you focus
on their achievements throughout his/her life!
Have a stack
of cards already made out by the birthday boy/girl's friends and
family. Throughout the day at Legoland Florida (preferably while they are in
line for a ride/show/attraction) hand them a different card. They
will be reminded of how much they are liked and loved throughout
the day by those that weren't able to join them inside the park!
Bring a bunch
of small cake candles with you to Legoland Florida 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!
Make up shirts
for all those going to Legoland Florida 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!"
