Birthday Game: 10 Day Countdown to Your Little Ones Birthday

Of course, your child’s birthday is special. That is a no brainer. But what about kicking it up to the next level? Doing some really unique and cool things either in the days preceding or on the big day will surely add to the excitement. Let me give you a few examples. How about if you make a fun calendar that has the 10 days preceding their birthday highlighted on it and on each day, you could have a picture on it. Let’s say your child’s birthday falls on July 23^rd. Ten days before would be the 14^th of July so that is where you would start. In our example below there is a picture of a bird. Beforehand you can hide a picture of a bird somewhere in your house and you can then put your child on a scavenger hunt to find the bird! When they find the bird, you can have a small birthday present attached to it. A good idea would be to keep the presents small on the first few days and then make them bigger and bigger up until the big day! Imagine the excitement of them waking up every day to play this scavenger hunt game with a present? Here is a sample of ideas of gifts that you can give them during the 10 days of pre-birthday fun Day 1 – Cupcakes or brownies (or a healthy treat!) Day 2 – A small stuffed animal or figurine Day 3 – A fun children’s learning book or activity book Day 4 – A fun small toy Day 5 – Movie night where they pick the movie Day 6 – A trip out for ice cream Day 7 – Something cute to wear or sneakers Day 8 – A cool board game Day 9 – A small make your own pizza party with the family Day 10 – Their big gift that you choose!
