These creative touches can entertain kids without costing you too much. You’ll save and still look like a pro party planner by making your party inexpensive, not cheap.
1. Photo Booth
Set up a photo booth area with various items like hats, scarves, wigs, paper mustaches, or any other random things you have around the house or find at Goodwill. Use a digital camera, and email the pictures to parents after the party. This activity is fun for parents to take part in too!

2. Pie in the Face
Kids love to get messy. I remember my parents threw me a birthday party where everyone got pied in the face. We had various field games such as a three-legged race, an egg race, and a water balloon toss. If you lost in any of these events, you got pied. It put a unique spin on normal games, and everyone had a really good time.

3. Ball Pit
You can easily make a ball pit by getting a baby pool and filling it with plastic balls. I’m planning this activity for my son’s first birthday party, but it would be fun for older kids as well.

4. Dance Party
Kids go crazy when music is playing. They love to dance and have no shame about their skills (or lack thereof). Parents enjoy watching kids dance too. Add to the excitment by doing a freeze game where kids freeze when the music stops. Or blow up a bunch of balloons for kids to try to keep in the air while the music plays. As for the music, you can hook up your laptop computer to some external speakers and utilize some of the free music listening and sharing websites.

5. Telephone Game
One person starts the game by whispering a sentence into the ear of the person sitting next to them. They whisper what they think they heard to the person on the other side of them. This continues until the sentence gets to the last person. At that time, the person says out loud what they think they heard. This is a fun game to play indoors if the weather does not permit outdoor games.

6. Obstacle Course
Set up an obstacle course in your backyard. Have the kids crawl under limbo sticks, through boxes, and down slides. This is a great way to reuse and recycle household items laying around.

7. Scavenger Hunt
If the party is for younger kids, you can set up a scavenger hunt for everyday items scattered around your house or yard. If you have older kids, you can do a scavenger hunt in the mall. I remember doing a mall scavenger hunt for a party and having a lot of fun. You don’t have to buy the items, just find them faster than the others.
