7^th Birthday Party Ideas

At this age, children are increasingly independent and are likely able to hang out together with little less interference from parents than when they were younger. In short, 7 year old’s are a awesome age for some party activities. When planning your child’s 7th birthday party, keep in mind their interests and feel free to extend the party time a bit longer than when they were young. Check out some of our ideas below!

Pro party tip – Keep the party manageable by just inviting the number of children that is your child’s age.

LEGO Party

LEGO has been a family favorite for decades! It is colorful, versatile and there are no limits with what your imagination may come up with when building. A LEGO party is a great 7th birthday idea for girls and boys because they can work together to complete a project or easily work independently. One idea is to give each party goer their own LEGO bin with pieces to use during the party, but then can take home as their party favor.

Minecraft Party

Another one of our 7^th birthday party ideas is to a throw a Minecraft themed party. Minecraft is a very popular video game where players can work on their own or cooperatively with others. Turn your space into the world of Minecraft by implementing green and black into your décor as well as placing characters from the game like Creepers and pigs around. Have guests make their own Minecraft inspired masks and serve snacks labelled as items from the game. For example pretzels as “sticks.” If your child loves Minecraft, your child will love this theme!

Slime Party

Get your Slime party started with a “Slime Lab” where the kiddos mix up their very own colorful concoctions. Set up different stations with glitter, beads, and even glow-in-the-dark options for that extra wow factor. Then, hold a “Slime Olympics” with contests like the “Stretchiest Slime” and “Biggest Bubble.” Of course, don’t forget the slime-inspired snacks like “Slime Popcorn” (green popcorn with a touch of edible glitter) and “Slime Jello Cups” with gummy worms wriggling on top. See our best Slime party ideas here.

Football Themed 7th Birthday Party

Is your child into football (or soccer as some call it)? If so, then consider throwing a football themed 7th party. To start, use greenery and fake grass to give a stadium feel to your space. Next, organize a friendly match amongst the guests and have them develop their own team cheer. Following this, they can enjoy football shaped cake pops. Finally, don’t forget to take a group photo with a trophy! Also, any sport can make a great birthday party theme. Go team!

Pastel Carousel Party

A pastel carousel party is the perfect choice for a magical and lovely vibe for a seventh birthday party. In order to get the same effect for a birthday party, chose pastel colors like pink, blue, yellow and purple. Add a touch of gold for a more vintage feel in your décor and food. Hang pastel colored banners and ribbon in a way to mimic the carousel shape and serve cupcakes with fluffy icing for dessert. Enjoy!

Scavenger Hunt Party

If you want to take an outdoor party to the next level then include ascavenger huntin your party games. You can theme the Scavenger hunt to the theme of your party, or do a Nature Scavenger hunt, or a seasonal hunt depending on the time of year, like a Fall Scavenger Hunt. Kids work in teams to find the items on your scavenger hunt list and the first to find them all wins.

7th Birthday Bowling

Bowling is fun and 7 year old’s love it! Have your guests and the birthday boy or girl take turns going for that strike! Cheer each other on as everyone goes for the pins. For those who may need a little help, there are usually bumpers for the lane to help guide the ball. Some bowling alleys even offer their own party packages so look into that before booking yourself. For additional fun, go cosmic or glow in the dark bowling. The kids will have a ball!

Character Themed Birthday

If your child loves a certain Disney princess, TV cartoon character or superhero, then use them as your inspiration for one rad party! Lots of party supply stores offer character tableware, decorations and favors with popular characters on them. Finding a local grocery store or baker to make a character inspired cake is fairly easy these days or make your own with edible frosting sheets. Finally, perhaps even see if that character can come and visit the party goers to lead some activities. It will surely be special!

Sonic The Hedgehog Themed Party

Dance Party

For a birthday dance party all you need to do is find your dancing shoes, turn on the strobe light and blast some tunes! This is the ultimate party idea for any kid who loves to dance, listen to music and have fun. Take turns picking songs to dance and play the game “Freeze Dance.” In addition, maybe the kids can work together to come up with their own choreography or learn a new dance from a video. Make it a glow in the dark dance party with neon colors, a black light and glow sticks. No matter what, it will be memorable!

Gymnastics Party

These days many organizations offer party packages for families, even if you do not usually use their services or facilities. One idea is to host a birthday party at a recreation or gymnastics center.
