3. GET THE CHILDREN INTO A CIRCLE: ‘Let’s Make a Circle’ written 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. “What does a magic wand do? Today I’m going to show you how we can use it to make all of our wishes come true. 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” to make the wish come true! 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.
5. CHOREOGRAPHED DANCE ONE: ‘Fairy Dancing’ performed by The Fairies
Click on song name to open the video in YouTube.
“Now I’m going to teach you a special dance that will help you to make even more wishes come true.” Hand each child a wand or a “magic wishing sword” and go through the tricky moves. Play the track and perform the dance as in the video. Collect the wands (and swords if applicable) at the end.
6. PARACHUTE ACTIVITY WITH TOY/S ON TOP: ‘Ten Toys on the Bouncing Castle’ (tune of ‘Two Teddies on a Trampoline’ by Linda Bance)
“Who can tell me where princesses live?” “My favourite kind of castle is a bouncing castle. Let’s make one now with the parachute.” Explain that first they must practice with the imaginary parachute and that if everyone listens really well then you will take out the real parachute. Sing the song and move your arms up and down in time with the pulse.
