What is the best theme for my son's birthday party, he's turning 7 years old?
By mayet from Philippines
There are too many choices: Cars, Star Wars, and Toy Story are only a few. Think of the program or video your son really enjoys. Use that as your theme. You should be able to find items for any theme at your local party supply store.
If you can't think of anything else, try centering your son's party around his favorite color, or his pet if he has one. Have fun, and Happy Birthday to your son!
Ask your son what he wants as his theme, and involve him in the shopping for the plates and cake decorations and so on. It will make it more fun for him if he is in on the planning. Dinosaurs are something most 7 year olds are interested in.
When my daughter turned 7, we had a Scooby-Doo party, but you could simply make it a detective party. When the kids came in, we sat them down for a snack, to be followed by cake. I brought in an empty cake plate with a note saying it was their job to solve the Case of the Missing Cake. They had to work together to receive clues (for example, they played pass the parcel and the clue was in the final box they unwrapped).
OMG I totally love the detective game idea! The mystery of the missing cake, I already have in mind how I want to do this. Thanks for the great idea.

I need ideas for a 7 year old's indoor birthday party.
By Mary from Chicago, IL
First off is it for an boy or an girl party? You can rent an magician for the day to show them magic. Again for boys you can do that and have an party for him at chuck e cheese and make it simple. Or you can do an party at the local zoo and rent out an space.
Growing up in Brooklyn, most parties were inside. We always played musical chairs and pin the tail on the donkey. Another game we played was the parent who is hosting the party would put about a dozen items on a tray, for instance a rubber band, paper clip, a pen you get the idea. The kids would have 5 seconds to look at the tray, then would have to write down as many items that they remembered. The person who can name the most won. Maybe you can get a bunch of party hats and have the kids decorate them. When my son was turning 6, I had a sponge Bob party for him. I bought a bunch of yellow sponges, google eyes, felt and other craft odds and ends and I had the kids make their own Sponge Bob. Hope these ideas can help you out!
yes your good
My son is really into ninjas. I can't think of any games that center around that. Any ideas?
My sons used to play a tag game called Ninja. They would all start in a circle then jump back in their best ninja pose. After that, the game was basically freeze tag. I'll ask my sons if they remember any more concrete details. :)
If he is into the Lego Ninjago characters, the party is terribly easy as there is tons of merchandise out there. You could buy a few sets and have the kids play with them as a part of the party.
At seven, he will be thrilled with whatever "ninja" items you can find (foam swords or other weapons, black masks, dragons, Japanese decorations, red and black streamers, etc.). If you are doing a party at home, you could end it with a favorite ninja or martial arts movie.
You don't say how old he is. Maybe a Best Ninja stance contest, pin the sword on the ninja and like that.
I need ideas for an inexpensive birthday party for a seven year old girl. She wants bubbles.
By Amanda from Graham, TX
Go to a dollar store and buy a bunch of bubbles. Give them to the kids you invite to her party and ask them all to make bubbles while she blows out the candles.
Blow up your balloons and rub them on her head the static. It will make them stick to the ceiling.
