Article Directory :: Arts & Entertainment Articles A Special Birthday Game For That Special One Year Old By Gail Leino Republish: EasyPublish™ Published: 19Feb2012 Word count: 638 Viewed: 53 time(s) Get Free Content For Your Site A child's first birthday is a very special birthday indeed! It's the day when your little baby officially becomes a little toddler. Your little one is growing up to be a big kid, and it's natural that you'd want to celebrate this occasion with a very special birthday party. For a fun and festive party, you'll need 1st birthday party supplies and invitations, food, a very special birthday cake, drinks, party favors, and of course some fun games. Finding good 1st birthday party games for a one year old (or in this case, a group of one year olds) can be challenging since toddlers not only have a lot of energy but they have short attention spans too. However, they do love to play with noisy things like rattles and tambourines. With that in mind, a great game to play at a 1st birthday party is "1 Year Olds On Parade!" Like the name suggests, your little party guests will be able to participate in a fun parade. Hand out instruments like rattles, shakers, tambourines, cymbals, noisemakers, and small drums for the kids to play as they follow and adult marching through the house. You can also put on marching music to add to the fun! Another good idea for this game is to give out colorful masks and other costume elements to make the parade more festive. You can use animal masks, carnival masks, feather boas, silly, colorful hats, and what ever else you can think of. Give the birthday boy or girl an extra special mask or hat. If there are children who would rather not play an instrument, you can give them streamers to wave or pom poms to shake. Also, it's best to put the older children toward the front of the line and the younger children in the back. Be sure to march at a pace that everyone can keep up with. You can also wear some festive parade wear yourself! If you have face painting at your party, it's a good idea to play this game after everyone has had their face painted so they can show off the cool pictures on their faces! This is a fun game to play at any 1st Birthday Party. There are no winners or losers, just everyone having lots of fun. It also gives the parents plenty of picture opportunities. This game is easy to do and also the kids will have a lot of fun playing their instruments, waving their streamers and celebrating your child's first birthday party! Mrs. Party...
