Going to be
at Six Flags Over Georgia 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 Six Flags Over Georgia Adventure Challenge
- Watch the video below for details!
Although this
can get a little pricey, it can be a lot of fun. Set out at the
beginning of the day to collect a certain number of items at Six Flags Over Georgia.
For example, if the birthday boy/girl is turning 14, then have them
collect 14 buttons throughout the park. They could also collect
different pressed pennies, pieces of candy (the wrappers), signatures
from workers, etc.
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.
Plan
a fun scavenger hunt throughout the day at Six Flags Over Georgia.
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 Six Flags Over Georgia - a package
for them to open once there filled with all kinds of puzzles
and things to do! CLICK

Have the birthday
boy/girl wear a funny hat/shirt/outfit so that as they walk around
Six Flags Over Georgia everyone will know it's their birthday. In this way, other
visitors at Six Flags Over Georgia will be able to with them a happy birthday!
If you'd like
to give them a gift for them to open AT Six Flags Over Georgia, 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 Six Flags Over Georgia.
Make up shirts
for all those going to Six Flags Over Georgia 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!"
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 Six Flags Over Georgia. Make it seem like a family trip. Arrange to meet his/her
friend(s) AT Six Flags Over Georgia. It will feel like an added gift to see their
friend(s) there when he/she wasn't expecting it!
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!
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)
Make a game
out of their actual age number - see how many times you can find
that number throughout the day at Six Flags Over Georgia. For example, if the birthday
boy/girl is turning 21, everyone must look for the number '21' throughout
Six Flags Over Georgia. 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.
