Birthday competitions – what to think about in advance
For children of any age and especially toddlers, it is important to alternate outdoor games with those that require greater perseverance and concentration. Thus, the birthday boy and his guests will not get tired and will be able to have fun for a long time. For active games, you need as much space as possible, so it is better to take care of the venue for this type of competition in advance. There are two things to consider when it comes to children’s holidays:
- safety (this includes the preparation of the place, as well as the process itself, because competitions for fast eating of sandwiches are definitely not suitable for young children)
- fixed time (games and competitions should alternate with congratulations of the party, feast and disco)
