3. GET THE CHILDREN INTO A CIRCLE: ‘Let’s Make a Circle’ by Anne Porter Without speaking, get the children into a circle by singing:
Let’s make a circle,
A circle a circle.
Let’s make a circle,
At insert Child’s Name’s birthday party.
Repeat until everyone is in a circle. Please use this song every time you need the children in a circle throughout the duration of the party.
4. WISHING SONG: ‘Starlight Starbright’ (traditional)
“Let’s see what I have in my sparkly magic bag today.” Reveal magic wand. “What does a magic wand do? Today I’m going to show you how we can use it to make wishes come true. You can wish for a superpower like x-ray vision, shooting webs or flying to help you be a real superhero or you can wish for something to make you a real princess like a tiara, a fairy godmother or a beautiful dress. First you need to learn the special wishing song and it goes like this.” Point your wand to different children to the pulse as you sing the song acapella.
All:
Starlight, starbright,
First star I see tonight.
Wish I may, wish I might, Have this wish I wish tonight.
You: Birthday girl/boy, (insert child’s name) what’s your wish?
(you may need to give some suggestions)
Birthday girl/boy: I wish for a pony. (the child invents their own wish) You: (spoken) Now, let’s all say “One, two, three abracadabra”!
All (spoken): One, two three, abracadabra! (the children wave their imaginary wands)
Repeat several times as above, except for at the end of each verse when you ask the children to put their hand up if they would like to make a wish. You then sing “Hello, what’s your wish?” to a child that has their hand up. If you have more than ten children, you could try asking a few children at a time (at the end of each verse before saying “one, two, three abracadabra”) to speed up the activity. If you have more than 20 children you can ask everyone that hasn’t had a turn to shout their wish out at once.

6. PARACHUTE ACTIVITY WITH TOY/S ON TOP: ‘Five Superheroes’ by Lucy Milan Davis “Let’s see who is hiding in my sparkly magic bag.” Reveal Superman doll. “Who can tell me what his superpowers are... Yes, he’s very strong, has X-ray vision and he can fly. We’re going to make him fly now using the parachute. We’re going to practice with the imaginary one and if everyone does a great job then I’ll get the real one out.”
Move the imaginary parachute from side to side to the pulse as you say the rhyme. Quickly lift the parachute high up into the air as you say “Whoosh!”
