Karaoke isn’t just for adults, so what’s stopping you from planning a kids karaoke birthday party except not knowing what to do? Karaoke themed birthday party for your kids is a good alternative to the usual birthday parties where clowns and board games are used.
According to research, a kids’ karaoke birthday party is ideal for children ages seven and up. It seems that the children who are madly in love with their favorite singers are the ones who appreciate this party plan much more.
Here are the tips for planning your kids’ karaoke birthday party.
1. Prepare a good karaoke machine. If you don’t have your own machine at home, you can choose to buy a machine designed for children that already has CDs with songs from the most famous music stars.
2. Prepare a guest list. What’s a kids’ karaoke birthday party without your kids’ friends when they were kids, so you need to ask them to list who they’d like to attend? Since younger children usually come with their parents in tow, you can scan your guest list and ask ahead of time for parents who are willing to help—after all, kids are sometimes hard to handle on their own.
3. karaoke party decorations. They are optional, but if you have a theme in mind, choose decorations that depend on the theme. Some theme ideas aside from popular children’s shows like Hannah Montana and Camp Rock are Disney cartoons like Aladdin, Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast and more.
After choosing the theme for your kids karaoke birthday party, you can research the right type of decorations to use. You can even extend the theme to party invites.
4. Karaoke party songs. Ask around or find out what your kids love to hear. You can also find soundtracks for shows that your kids love to watch i.e. Hannah Montana and then find songs from this show.
5. Let your guests know if they must wear costumes. These are entirely up to you, but are great for kids to feel completely at one with the theme. For this, you can ask the children to dress up according to their favorite character or just dress up according to the theme.
6. Prepare prizes. This will entice party guests to participate, even if they are quite shy. You can organize a singing contest for the children and give the highest prize to the winner.
7. Prepare a goodie bag. This is what most children look for when they attend children’s parties.
8. Prepare delicious food that both children and adults. Remember that you not only have child guests, you also have parent guests.
9. Also prepare your trusted camera. If you don’t want the fun and smiles to be lost forever, assign someone to take pictures of the event.
10 At the children’s karaoke birthday party, no pressure. Some children are naturally shy until they sing their first song. If you notice that no one is holding the microphone, you can start singing yourself and soon after all the kids will follow and then you can play the KJ.
