A Summer Birthday Party at the Park

Parties at the park during summer months are fun. Everyone can soak up the pleasure of the surroundings and everyone invited can enjoy the beautiful day. Some summer parties are birthdays, to company picnics. Keeping these simple is easy with few decorations and a few planned games.

For decorations you can have balloons. Balloons are inexpensive and usually you can buy a package with maybe about twenty to fifty in the pack. Blow them up and group them in three, tie with a string and you have a balloon cluster. You can attach these to the tables or a nearby tree. If you don’t want balloons crepe paper is also a great item to use. Purchase several different colors put them together and twirl them and hand them around table or tree.

Games are fun too. Having a plan as to which ones are smart to have. One game from yesteryear is red light/green light. Have the kids and/or adults line up in a line about fifteen yards out and have a person that will be the light. They players in the line must take one step at a time…no running. The light will either say green light or red. If you move on a red light then you are out. The person/person who ends up close will get a small token/gift.

Another game to play is Simon says. Having a player that is Simon, he will tell the players what to do. Some examples are, Simon says hop in place, Simon says stop, then you can say jump, if anyone jumps when you just jump they are out.

These games are free to play. No one will get hurt playing these. They are simple and even the youngest of players can understand how to play. These are just simple games and decorations. When you are on a budget and at a loss as to what games and décor to have then this simple suggestion will come in handy.
