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’ by Traditional
“Let’s see what I have in my sparkly magic bag today.” Reveal magic wand. “Does anyone know what this is? And what does a magic wand do? Today I’m going to show you how we can use it to wish for our very own minions. You can wish for a smart minion, a silly minion, a scary minion, a pretty minion or any other type of minion to be your best friend. But 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: Which minion do you wish for? (to the birthday boy/girl the first time, you may need to give some suggestions)
Child: I wish for a silly minion. (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 “Which minion do you wish for?” 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.

“Let’s take a look in my sparkly magic bag to see what we’re going to do next!” Reveal Kevin soft toy. “Does anyone know who this is? That’s right, his name is Kevin! Kevin
is very crazy and so loves nothing more than jumping up and down on a
bouncy castle! So let’s make him a bouncy castle now using my parachute!”
