A child’s first communion is a big event. The service is serious, but the following party can be happy and fun for the kids. If you plan the right activities, the kids will be satisfied and interested in the party. Here are some fun and acceptable ways to entertain kids at a First Communion party.
1. Interactive Games:
- Scavenger Hunt: Set up a scavenger hunt with hints that have something to do with the First Communion. In a fun and engaging way, this game can help kids learn more about what the day means.
- Bingo: Make your bingo cards with images from the ceremony on them, like a cross, chalice, dove, and bread. Prizes can be easy toys for kids or ones that have something to do with the day.
2. Arts and Crafts Station:
Put everything you need for different projects on a table. Among these are:
- Card Making: These are things the kids can use to make cards they can give to the guest of honor or keep for themselves.
- Religious Symbols: Give them the tools to make simple cross chains or decorate prayer rocks, which can also remind them of the day.
3. Performers:
Hire actors to make the event fun for kids. Here are some options:
- Magicians: A magician can keep kids’ attention with tricks with themes of change and partying.
- Puppet Show: Alternatively, you could see a puppet show with religious or moral stories told in a fun way.
4. Outdoor Activities:
If the weather is nice and you have room outside, think about:
- Inflatable Bounce Houses: An inflatable bounce house is a great way for kids to exercise. These are always a hit with kids.
- Games: Set up games on the grass, like bubble boxes, bean bag toss, and sack races.
5. Movie Corner:
Make a small space for kids to watch movies. Pick pictures appropriate for all age groups and show how spiritual the event was. Set up some popcorn and soft pillows to make the room feel cozy.
6. Storytelling:
Ask a storyteller to share stories that teach ideals like faith, kindness, and generosity. This can be fun and useful for kids at the same time.
7. Face Painting:
Have a professional paint the kids’ faces to look like their favorite figures or animals. Angels or birds are good choices because they can fit with the party’s theme.
