Forget about candy and video games for a day. Throw a party that is so much fun, that the kids never realize they’re building self-esteem, developing motor skills and learning about teamwork and cooperation.
Two Great Options
Have a great time – no setup, no clean-up – just show up and enjoy!
The kids have a blast! – they are physically active, learn something new, and discover their hidden talents.
Then they have an unforgettable moment in the spotlight showing off their new skills, complete with circus costumes, makeup and music.

2. The party
Instruction
We set up stations with the circus skills you selected. Every station will have an adult station boss who gives instruction & oversees safety at his/her station. We give a quick demonstration of each skill and then the kids are divided in small groups and receive about 10 minutes of hands-on instruction at each station.
We provide name tags for every kid and adult.
The kids are encouraged to come up with creative ways of utilizing the props at each station.
We break for a snack. During the break we ask the kids to pick their favorite acts.
Rehearsal
After the break the kids get some more time to rehearse the skills they selected and put together the acts for the show.
During this time the students also get dressed and made up for the performance.
3. The Show
The kids will amaze you – and themselves – with everything they learned and thought up in a very short time. They put on a show complete with costumes, makeup and music. The birthday kid usually doubles as the ringmaster who introduces all the acts.
The Audience
The show is a great community building opportunity. Invite your entire neighborhood to come see this spectacle. Your neighbors will bring their own lawn chairs, have a great time encouraging the kids with their applause, and they are sure to be talking about the amazing performance for a long time.
