Planning Activities

Activities Make Your Event Fun!
Now that you’ve got your theme, it’s time to think about the activities that will make your event fun and engaging. The activities you choose should match your theme and keep your guests entertained. Here are some tips for planning great activities:

• Match the Theme: If your event has a specific theme, your activities should reflect that. For example, if you’re doing a “Superhero Party,” you could have a “Superhero Training Course” where guests test their agility and strength.
• Think About Variety: It’s good to have a mix of activities so there’s something for everyone. For example, if you’re hosting a talent show, you might also want to include a craft station where guests can make their own awards.
• Consider the Space: Make sure your activities fit the space you have. If you’re hosting an event indoors, you might want to plan activities that don’t require a lot of room, like a scavenger hunt or a board game station.
• Plan for Different Ages: If your event has guests of different ages, try to include activities that everyone can enjoy. Younger kids might like simple games, while older kids might enjoy more challenging activities.

Fun Activity Examples:

• DIY Craft Station: Set up a table with supplies where guests can make something to take home, like decorated picture frames, friendship bracelets, or custom t-shirts.
• Obstacle Course: For an outdoor event, create an obstacle course using items like cones, ropes, and hula hoops. It’s a fun way to get everyone moving and adds a bit of friendly competition.

Activity 2: Plan Your Activities
Think about the theme you chose and start planning the activities that will bring it to life. Write down a list of activities in your Event Idea Journal and make sure they match your theme. You can also sketch out how the activities will fit into your event space.
