A Gymnastic theme is a great party to have at an outside venue…whether that be a local gym, Gymboree Center, school gym, or a funky spa/gymnasium for parents and kids, such as Urban Monkeys, this is sure to be a lot of fun for many different ages, 3 years old on up!
If you are having it at a center, such as a Gymboree or Urban Monkeys, they often have birthday party plans all set for you to simply choose from, so all you have to do is arrive and enjoy the party along with your birthday kid and her guests.
If you are having the party at a regular gym and/or your own home, here are some ideas to have a gymnastic fantastic time:
Check out gymnastics party supplies to pull this theme together!
Set up “fun stations” around the party area and have the kids do different structured activities:
- Have a Hula Hoop Contest. Play Musical Chairs using Hula Hoops instead of Chairs.
- Have a somersault/cart wheel competition.
- Enjoy a trampoline jump.
- Use a parachute to keep balls bouncing in the air.
- Set up an obstacle course to be completed as a game.
- Have the kids make different numbers and letters with their bodies. Perhaps to spell out, “Happy 5th Birthday!”
- You can always use the US Olympic colors and have your decorations and party table reflect red, white, and blue.
- Make gold medals as a craft activity.
- Make a team T-shirt with iron-on decals.
- As a favor, send home the team T-shirt & gold medal crafts they made, as well as a coach’s whistle, a bouncing ball, gymnastics stickers, pencil and notepad, water bottle filled with candy, etc.
Coolest Kid Birthday Parties also has some very good party theme ideas around an Olympics theme, so there may be other ideas for a more general theme here outside of gymnastics. It is still applicable as gymnastics is an Olympic sport. I like the gold medal cake they suggest as well. Check it out!
