Celebrating A Birthday At Seabreeze Amusement Park?

10 GREAT BIRTHDAY IDEAS

Going to be at Seabreeze Amusement Park 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 Seabreeze Amusement Park Adventure Challenge - Watch the video below for details!

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 Seabreeze Amusement Park 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!

Plan a fun scavenger hunt throughout the day at Seabreeze Amusement Park. 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 Seabreeze Amusement Park - a package for them to open once there filled with all kinds of puzzles and things to do! CLICK HERE to learn more!

Have a stack of cards already made out by the birthday boy/girl's friends and family. Throughout the day at Seabreeze Amusement Park (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 Seabreeze Amusement Park 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!

This is a great game to play for a larger group (4+). Ahead of time, prepare a list of fun tasks to do at Seabreeze Amusement Park 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 Seabreeze Amusement Park) 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.

Sing Happy Birthday in EVERY line that you wait in. You'll be surprised how often other folks don't mind joining in the song…especially in those longer lines when there's not a lot else for folks to do.

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)

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 Seabreeze Amusement Park. Make it seem like a family trip. Arrange to meet his/her friend(s) AT Seabreeze Amusement Park. It will feel like an added gift to see their friend(s) there when he/she wasn't expecting it!

Have the birthday boy/girl wear a funny hat/shirt/outfit so that as they walk around Seabreeze Amusement Park everyone will know it's their birthday. In this way, other visitors at Seabreeze Amusement Park will be able to with them a happy birthday!
