Many parents see it as a milestone when a child or children turn 10.
They are now preteens and may not want to have a birthday party at home to celebrate. In most cases, they will want to go out and have fun with their friends at a theme park, the cinema, or even having a game-based day.
With so many events to choose from, it is tough for parents to home in on the right activities to engage in with their kids for the big 1-0. So, here are some great ideas to help you celebrate the day with them.
Airsoft
Airsoft can be a great birthday idea for those who enjoy active and challenging activities. It is an exciting and dynamic sport that can provide a unique and memorable birthday experience.
If your kid is an airsoft enthusiast, they will likely enjoy the opportunity to play a game with friends and family. If they are new to the sport, airsoft can be a fun and adventurous way to try something new.
If you are worried about having to pay for equipment on the day, you can invest in used airsoft gear, which has the added benefit of actually belonging to you and your kid(s), so you can personalize it if you want to!
Paintball
Paintball can be a suitable activity for your 10-year-old’s birthday celebration as long as it’s done in a safe and controlled environment. Many paintball facilities have age restrictions and require players to wear protective gear, such as masks and gloves.
It’s important to consider the child’s maturity level and physical ability when deciding if paintball is the right activity for them.
It’s also a good idea to check with the paintball facility beforehand to confirm their age restrictions and any other rules or guidelines they may have.
Laser Tag
Next on the list of combat-based activities, laser tag is another crowd-pleaser when it comes to kids’ and birthday parties.
As a high-tech version of hide and seek, laser tag is a fun and interactive way for kids to engage in friendly competition with each other.
It is also suitable for groups as small as 4, so if you want to keep it strictly as a family affair, you can, and your kid(s) will be sure to have a great time!
Trampoline Parks
A trampoline park is an indoor recreational facility that features a large number of interconnected trampolines, along with other attractions such as foam pits, obstacle courses, and climbing walls. The idea is to provide a safe, fun, and energetic environment for people of all ages to enjoy.
So, if you have kids attending birthday activities that are a range of ages, this is likely to be the most suitable option, and it is fun!
Escape Rooms
If your child is a bit more on the intellectual side or is a fan of Sherlock Holmes, it can be worth looking for an escape room for them and you to take part in.
An escape room is a fun and challenging activity that requires teamwork, problem-solving, and critical thinking. Kids can work together to solve puzzles and escape from a themed room before time runs out.
