Make it one they would really love. The games and activities you organize can make the difference between a boring party and one they would talk excitedly about for weeks to come.
Yes, food is important. But so isthe entertainment. A must for any Christmas party for kids is the appearance of jolly old Santa Claus. Get a willing guy to dress up as Santa Claus, in that red suit, white beard and stomach padding for the occasion.
Prepare a large sack of presents for Santa to give out to the kids as he makes his grand entrance. Get a photographer to take photos for the guests with Santa. If possible, download these photos to a PC and have the photos made into calendars or other souvenirs for the guests to take home after the party.
Why just stick to Santa. Get the full supporting cast with Santarina (a pretty woman dressed up in a short, female Santa dress). Get a pair of bickering elves to accompany them for comic relief. These characters are pivotal to the plot in this Christmas party.
After giving out presents to all the guests and taking photos with everyone, Santa suddenly realizes he lost his magical treasure box. He pulls out a photo of it and shows all the kids. What follows is a treasure hunt. The kids a split into 4 search teams to find that box. The team that finds the box wins. Santa would pull out prizes for the winners from his sack.
After the kids have settled down with the prize and all the guests had time to help themselves to the party food, Santarina dashes into the room, screaming, ‘We’re under attack!’. The boys are ushered outdoors where a large pail filled with water is waiting for them. They are given plastic bags to make water bombs. Grown ups in Halloween costumes approach them, making scary noises. The boys fend off the intruders with water bombs. After the intruders are chased away, everyone celebrates with a log cake. Note, if it is snowing, or the ground is covered with snow, have a snowball fight instead. If the weather is too cold outside for a water fight, give the boys light sabers or ping pong balls as weapons.
Let the kids have warm drinks and desserts by the fireplace. If you have time for one more game, make it a Christmas version of Sardines.
Get the elves to tip toe into the room, acting frightened and whispering to each other. Then they call the kids to gather around them to whisper what they have seen. ‘Too many invaders. We have to go into hiding while Santa leads his forces against the new invaders. We need you to follow us. Hide with us until the coast is clear’ or something along that line.
With that, the elves leave the room. Santarina stops them from leaving as she hands each boy the supplies they need. Chocolate bars for energy and a bottle of water or a bottled drink in case they get thirsty. Santa delays them further by handing them light sticks to light the way.
By then, is should be dark. Turn off all the lights and let the kids find their way using their light sticks.
Each child who finds the elves hides with them. The elves can entertain them with card games or stories.
After the last child finds the elves, the game ends. Santa and Santarina emerge victorious as they enter the room.
The kids are given they photo souvenirs and led to their waiting parents.
