Top Activities for a 6-Year-Old Birthday Party
When it comes to the best activities for a 6-year-old’s birthday party, the ideas can range from something as simple as a few fun games with a small group of kids to a ton of kids doing fun activities for the entire day. But remember, the best party ideas will ensure that your kids have a fun and memorable birthday party. At Urban Air, we’re ready to make sure your 6-year-old’s birthday party is everything they’ve dreamed of.
There are tons of activities to try during a birthday party, especially for six-year-olds. Trampolines offer endless hours of jumping fun, and a variety of kid’s games can be played on them. Trampoline dodgeball is one example of an entertaining game that is perfect for a kid’s party, as kids can get competitive trying to get others out as quickly as possible while the jump, dodge, and dive around.
Climbing walls are another party activity that provide so much fun for the birthday boy or birthday girl and al of their party guests. Everyone can get involved on the climbing wall, using concentration, strength, and enduring to climb all the way to the top. This activity also requires a bit of patience and can even teach kids about perseverance to reach their goals.
Do your kids like a bit of a challenge? Obstacle courses like our Warrior Course are challenging activities and are the perfect addition to any child’s party since they require a variety of skills to complete. Kids can work together to complete the course, work alone and try their hardest to finish, or use a combination of teamwork and individual skills to work their way through the course. No matter what they choose during their birthday party, the obstacle course is sure to keep both younger kids and older kids entertained during this fun activity.
Inviting children to a game of virtual reality is one sure-fire way to get their attention. While this party game is more of a one-man-show, it’s just as exciting and works great for your child and your child’s friends. While one person gets to experience virtual reality, the others wait and get excited about what’s to come. They can also play a range of virtual reality games that cater to each of their personalities and what they like to do.
All these activities come with loads of fun and interaction between kids. And what’s better is that they can all be personalized to fit into any birthday party. For example, if you are having an animal-themed party, you can encourage kids to use the climbing wall and see who can be the best monkey. Or, if you’re trying out a science party, you can incorporate the flashing lights into a “science experiment” to see who can find the coolest light colors. During your birthday celebration, you can also add an element of competition. For a character party or even a superhero party, try to see “who can save the day” by completing the obstacle course.
No matter what you’re planning, these birthday party ideas will surely provide a great start to creating endless amounts of fun.

Tips for Planning a Successful Party
Creating a successful birthday party is made easier by a variety of party ideas, party games, and solid planning. For your six-year-old’s party, we have a few tips to make your child’s birthday a hit.
Start by choosing a party package that includes everything you need. This is the easy part of the process and will help you get started in the right direction. Urban Air can help you with party planning, and even provide recommendations as well as more birthday party ideas on what are the best activities depending on your child’s personality. Every party package is customizable!
When scheduling the party, be sure to make it a convenient time of the day. Your child will want everyone they invited to come, so be sure to keep this in mind when planning the day and the time. Many children have activities that can conflict with party times, so be sure to check with your guest list and even family members.
Try a themed party. This will help you get organized and stay on topic so that you can start picking out party favors, gathering new party ideas, and creating a cohesive look for the birthday child.
Give out invitations early. Urban Air offers birthday party invitation templates to help you make this step easy. Doing this will ensure that your party guests can clear their schedules and prepare for the party ahead of time. Also, be sure to invite the right number of guests. If your child does not do well in large group settings, you’ll want to keep the group and the party area small.
Lastly, be sure to choose age-appropriate activities. For six-year-old’s, an adventure playground can be a big place. Most kids will be excited about all there is to offer, but some can be overwhelmed. Be sure to keep this in mind when planning your party and think about who you are planning it for and what makes the most sense.
