Five-year-old birthday party

Birthday party for 5-Year-Olds

Published 2024-04-11

Is your child turning five soon? Then it’s time to invite them to a party! When children turn five, many have already started having birthday parties and it is common to invite their friends from kindergarten. Whether it’s your child’s first birthday party or you’ve had or been to a few before, many of course want to make it a special experience. Turning five is a big deal!

Invite to a 5-year-old's party

For five-year-olds, friends have become a big deal. The child may have made one or more friends at preschool who he or she wants to invite to a party. At this age, it is also more common for the child to want to be involved in planning the party – who will come, where will it be held, and what will be on the menu. Sometimes children have been to someone else’s party and want one of their own. By listening to the child and letting them make some small choices, the birthday party can be a fantastic experience for the birthday child, party guests, and parents alike.

Games for a 5-year-old's birthday party

At this age, both a child’s personality and development are blossoming. Movement and play are extra important! Those who have or have had a five-year-old know that children at this age love to move and rarely sit still. They jump, run, and challenge themselves to new heights on the climbing frame. Five-year-olds love to play and explore, and it is important that they can do so in an environment where they feel safe enough to let loose and have fun!

Leo’s has thousands of square meters of play area and lots of fun activities. Climb the climbing frames, ride the slides, and run around letting your imagination run wild. During a party at Leo’s, kids are sure to get plenty of exercise!

Catering for a 5-Year-Old Birthday Party

At this age, children often want to be involved in deciding what they eat. They can also become a bit picky, so it’s especially important to serve food that they will enjoy. The perfect party food for five-year-olds is usually simple food that kids their age like. If you book a party at Leo’s, we have ready-made party menus to choose from. In addition to ice cream for dessert, you can choose from hearty options such as pancakes, hot dogs with bread, and hamburgers. This gives the children some extra energy so they can run and play in the play area. Parties often involve a lot of sweets, so serving one of our hearty party menus is usually popular.

The Role of a Parent at a 5-Year-Old's Birthday Party

For five-year-olds, it may be the first time they’re attending a birthday party without a parent. Usually, at this age, they’re accompanied by a parent, friend, or relative. Children of this age need a lot of reassurance, and it’s up to each family to decide what works best for them.

If you’re having the party at Leo’s, parents are welcome to join in both the party room and the play area. Everything is designed to ensure that the child has the best and safest possible experience.

And a party at Leo’s is not just an action-packed experience, it’s a memory for life. During the party, the five-year-old gets to sit on a special birthday chair and wear a crown on their head.
