Now that summer is in full swing in Colorado, it’s time to get out and put a new twist on outdoor fun! If you are planning a party or want new, exciting things to do beyond cake and balloons, try out some of these add-on ideas:
Game Master
Not sure where to start with a party plan or theme? Invite a Game Master. Wearing an official Game Master outfit, they suggest rules, act as referee and keep kids engaged and entertained. A Game Master also maintains the energy flow of the party, switching things up to make sure everyone feels like a winner. This is a great option for shy kids or those who tend to sit out of group activities. If you want a helping hand in running the show, this is a perfect way to take a party from OK to awesome.
Water Balloon Toss
You can never go wrong with water at an outside party! Kids love playing with the balloons, plus it’s entertainment that keeps them cool. If you are looking for a simple way to keep kids focused on fun and working as a team, this is an easy, versatile game style to add to the day.
Add in a Super Hero or the Snow Queen
If you want to make a party extra special, why not add in a little extra personality? Invite along our Snow Queen to make the day dazzle or Spyderman to bring in extra excitement and action. The guest of honor is thrilled when a party personality stops by to play an active part in the day’s festivities.
Hula Hoop Competition
A hula hoop competition is good, clean old fashioned fun! Perfect for kids and adults! It’s an easy way to create little contests between party goers for fun prizes and treats. A little hula hoop action is also gets people connected people and get them laughing in unconventional ways.

Guests can do something subtle or go all- out to change up their look. It’s a great way to get everyone into the spirit of the celebration.
