Check out the tips below to get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1-Talk-to-the-kids-about-what-they-want\"><\/span>1 . Talk to the kids about what they want<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Any birthday boy or birthday girl will want a say in what kind of party they&#8217;re going to have. Preferences change year to year, so it&#8217;s important to revisit these kinds of conversations. You want to plan something that everyone can enjoy, especially the guest of honor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-Put-together-a-list-of-party-guests\"><\/span>2. Put together a list of party guests<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve decided on party preferences, you&#8217;ll need to start thinking about how many guests should be invited. You probably don&#8217;t want to ask <em>too <\/em>many people to attend, with it being a virtual event. After all, kids can be shy, and some may have a hard time interacting with everyone else on the call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep it simple. Create your guest list with close family members, friends, and classmates in mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-Put-together-a-theme\"><\/span>3. Put together a theme<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s a lot more to a kid&#8217;s birthday party than cake and candles. Put together a theme to keep the kids entertained throughout the day. Think of things that can be incorporated into a virtual event and won&#8217;t be too difficult for your party guests to organize on their end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Themes will vary by age, but we suggest a dance party, a tea party, a dessert party, or even a game night!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4-Prepare-for-the-challenges\"><\/span>4. Prepare for the challenges<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t overthink things. Think about the logistics, and start eliminating the ideas that will be too difficult to organize online. Try to stick to themes that allow everyone to participate from their respective locations. Remember, this isn&#8217;t a show &#8211; it&#8217;s a <em>party<\/em>. Get your guests involved!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"su-note\"  style=\"border-color:#00255f;border-radius:5px;-moz-border-radius:5px;-webkit-border-radius:5px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#0e3f79;border-color:#daffff;color:#fff;border-radius:5px;-moz-border-radius:5px;-webkit-border-radius:5px;\">Planning a virtual party can be challenging.

You can use them during a birthday party, family dinner, or even on the road. <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>It also carries many other benefits, including helping improve the immune system, balance, bone health, and pain prevention. Of course, there are lots of different ways to introduce a little exercise into a kid&#8217;s party. We&#8217;ve narrowed things down to our four favorite activities. Check out the list below to learn more:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Squat-Challenge\"><\/span>Squat Challenge<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Hope the kids are ready to test their leg strength! The game is simple: everyone must position their lower back against the wall, assume a seated position, and hang tight. Whoever can wait it out the longest wins!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Volleyball-Pass\"><\/span>Volleyball Pass<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This one requires some help from mom or dad. Each duo must stand about 10 feet apart. Pass the ball back and forth. Make sure to bend your knees and only use your fingertips when making contact with the ball. If you don&#8217;t have a proper volleyball, or you&#8217;re not confident in your passing skills just yet, you can use a soft plastic ball instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each group can take turns while the rest of the party roots them on remotely. The team to achieve the most uninterrupted passes wins!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ping-Pong-Game\"><\/span>Ping Pong Game<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;ve ever played a game of beer pong, then you already know the rules. Grab a table to play on, arrange ten cups on either side and grab a handful of ping pong balls. Once everyone has set up, put a timer and see who can land the most balls inside the cups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure all players stand about 3 feet away from the table and only throw one ball at a time. Once the timer goes off, the kids can take turns counting their balls &#8211; whoever has the most wins!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Jump-Rope\"><\/span>Jump Rope<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a great one to incorporate into a virtual obstacle course! Get everyone jumping with a simple rope exercise. You don&#8217;t need to assign a goal or introduce the activity in terms of competition. The kids can simply jump around and enjoy themselves. Besides, it&#8217;s a great excuse to take a few photos of everyone up in the air looking silly!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"14-A-virtual-video-game-party\"><\/span>14.

Like, <em>a lot<\/em>. Fortunately, you can now combine that affinity with another favorite: their birthdays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best part is that these activities were designed to connect players from afar, meaning you don&#8217;t need to make any major adjustments for a virtual birthday party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"su-note\"  style=\"border-color:#00255f;border-radius:5px;-moz-border-radius:5px;-webkit-border-radius:5px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#0e3f79;border-color:#daffff;color:#fff;border-radius:5px;-moz-border-radius:5px;-webkit-border-radius:5px;\"> Be sure to discuss with the parents to make sure everyone is ok with the theme. Once you have the go-ahead, you can pick out which game you want to use. To help narrow down the search, we&#8217;ve introduced a few of our favorites below. <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fortnite\"><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.epicgames.com\/fortnite\/en-US\/home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Fortnite<\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortnite is a free-to-play <em>Battle Royale<\/em> game with multiple game modes for every type of player.

The kids can play as a team or individually.&nbsp; They have to collect building materials to construct different things, like protective covers, bridges, ramps, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best part? It\u2019s cross-platform compatible! That means party guests can use an Xbox, computer, Playstation, or even a smartphone to play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Roblox\"><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.roblox.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Roblox<\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Roblox is an online platform where users can organize their own game or set up another world with friends or virtual explorers.

Minecraft introduces a magical world where kids are sure to put their imaginations to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"More-From-Great-Wolf-Lodge\"><\/span>More From Great Wolf Lodge<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We hope you enjoyed our list of virtual birthday party ideas!
