A kid’s birthday party is perfect for bringing your inner child out to play. As the world becomes more diverse, birthday parties become even more fun, entertaining, and engaging for kids. Here’s a list of a few unique ideas you can explore for your child’s next birthday bash!
KARAOKE PARTY
The ultimate ice-breaker, Karaoke is a fun and engaging party idea that’ll keep the kids busy, entertained, and excited. It promises bucket-loads of fun and appeals to all ages, especially kids! You can rent out a karaoke machine (here’s a list of vendors) or set up a simple karaoke system at home (refer to the checklist below).
To keep things interesting, you can even turn the party into a karaoke contest and give out gifts to all the participants!
Checklist
- Speakers
- Mic & TV display
- Karaoke playlist – you can find karaoke channels on YouTube (Sing King) or make one using your favorite tunes!
CITY BUS TOUR

Here’s one unique party idea that’d probably get every parent’s vote! Take the kids out on a chartered open deck city bus tour and give them a chance to have their very own birthday picnic. You can show them around the city’s hot spots and stop for treats along the way, and here’s the best part – no mess to clean up at home!
Checklist
- Booking the City Bus Tour (Spreeh recommends Nikamal, rated by TripAdvisor!)
- Birthday treats and goodies (you can pack the food in travel-safe tiffins)
- Birthday cake (imagine cutting the cake at a famous city landmark)
- Some paper plates, cutlery, and trash bags
- Birthday bus playlist for some energetic singalongs
- A camera to capture the memories!
CARNIVAL FIESTA
Bring home the carnival for your kid’s birthday party! Besides the carnival-themed decor, and a big, bold and bright birthday cake, you can think of hiring a photo booth, serving easy finger food for the munchies, and throwing in some low-maintenance carnival-themed games (we’ve got a checklist for all your needs listed below!).
And if you really want to go all out, don’t be afraid of the mess and treat the kids to a face-painting session, or hire a mini-trampoline if you’ve got some outdoor space.
Checklist
- Carnival decorations (party-supplies stores, here!)
- Show-stopping birthday cake (our fav confectionaries here!)
- Photobooth for hire (a few vendors, here!)
- Trampoline for hire (a few vendors, here!)
- Chart papers and hula hoops for games
- Art supplies for face painting kits
- Carnival games ideas
BIRTHDAY OLYMPICS
Kids love some friendly competition. You can set up a few games (such as sack races, musical chairs, twister; three to four will do great), divide your guest into teams, and DIY a scoreboard. You can organize a fun little awards ceremony at the end and hand out special prizes to the winning teams.
Checklist
- Backyard space (You could also use your apartment complex’s common area, or go to a nearby park)
- Whiteboard and markers for the scoreboard
- Prizes for the participants
