If your kid loves skateboarding and you’re trying to plan an upcoming birthday party, a skateboard party might be just what you need to make everyone happy. A skateboard theme can be a lot of fun and is a great way to have a lively and exciting party that will keep all the kids entertained. Here are some ideas on how to pull it off with style and safety in mind.
Skateboard Lessons and Demonstrations
Consider giving skateboarding lessons and demonstrations at the party. If you skate yourself, this is a great time to teach the kids some beginner moves or you can hire a trainer (consider GoSkate.com) to help teach the kids at the party. If possible, try to have some extra boards, helmets, and safety gear for kids who may come without it.
You can also get some kids skating videos to play at the party or to help teach the kids if an instructor isn’t available. Just make sure that younger children are supervised by adults at all times at the party.
Security First!
Safety should always be your top concern in skateboarding. You are responsible for any children who show up to the party, so make a rule that no one boards your board without a helmet and make sure there are enough adults to enforce it. Give the kids a safe place to practice, bike and play (not on a busy street) or have the party in a safe place like a skate park.
Cakes and party favors
There are so many great ideas that you can do for a skate party cake. You can order one made by a bakery or create your own. Consider a skate park cake design with ramps or a mini figure skater cake. Another idea is to use small tuning forks to decorate the top of the cake. Skateboard Legos are another cake decorating idea that you can rinse and store afterwards.
Tech Decks are a great idea for your skateboarding birthday party. Skateboard stickers are another great idea. You can save money when you buy them in bulk and the kids love them. They’ll trade and swap them, collect them, decorate their boards with them, and more.
These ideas will help you have a rocking skateboard themed birthday party for the skater boy in your life. It’s easy and guaranteed to be a hit with any kid who loves skateboarding.
