Block
Party Ideas seen by an Entertainer. |
Being a professional
balloon entertainer
I have been performed at many block parties and have seen
many successful and cool block party ideas.
Here are some block
party ideas to help make your block party a success.
Block Party Ideas
#1 Kid crowd control - To insure every kid on the block
receives a balloon or gets their face painted, I would suggest
giving each house on the block a badge/wrist bracelet that identifies
the kid as living on this block. This will give these kids a special
priority, thus eliminating kids that attend from other neighborhoods.
If time remains, the entertainer can entertain kids without the
bracelet.
Block Party Ideas
#2 Sell extra wrist bracelets - Block parties are a community
event, people who have no kids invite family and friends with
children. These children now have to be calculated into the cost
of the block party. For these families that normally do not have
children, sell them wrist bands. This will help calculate the
number of kids at the block party and offset entertainment and
prize expenses.
Block Party Ideas
#3 Invite local law enforcement or fire department to
your block party. Most local government agencies can provide free
community education such as, D.A.R.E., Kids finger printing, police
dog education, fire safety, home safety, plus they can bring vehicles
for children to inspect. This will make your block party educational
and fun.
Block Party Ideas
#4 Frozen T-shirt Game. The idea of the game is to take
a folded frozen T-shirt, unfold the T-shirt and put it on. This
game requires 5 T-shirts. I suggest that you find a local company
that would like to donate some T-shirts (free advertising for
the company). Soak the T-shirt in water and fold. Place freezer
paper between shirts and freeze rock solid.
The Game - Have five
contestants unfold the frozen T-shirt and put it on. They can
do anything to defrost the T-shirt, BUT must be done in the street.
If a barbecue kettle is available, then roasting a T-shirt is
legal. You will be surprised how creative people will become trying
to unfold a frozen T-shirt.
Block Party Ideas
#5 In planning your block party activities, remember to
make provisions to recycle all of the materials that are normally
collected by the City. So, when the fun is over and it is time
to clean up, recyclables are already bagged.
These
are just a couple of block party ideas that I have learned from
balloon entertaining. I hope you can use these ideas to have a
successful neighborhood block party.
Have a lot of kids
on your block? Consider the balloon
show which entertains the whole block party all in 45 minutes. |
