Celebrating A Birthday At Delgrosso's Amusement Park?

10 GREAT BIRTHDAY IDEAS

Going to be at Delgrosso's Amusement Park for someone's birthday? Celebrate throughout the day with these fun ways to keep the birthday fun going!

These ideas are sponsored by the Great Dollywood Adventure Challenge - Watch the video below for details!

This activity is typically best with family (or friends they've known for a very, very long time) and although it might take some coordinating, it can have a great impact on the birthday boy/girl. Divide up the years among everyone going to Delgrosso's Amusement Park with the birthday boy/girl. For example, if he/she is turning 14, then divide up the years 1-14 among everyone. The goal is to have a unique story to share about each year in his/her life that can be shared with everyone throughout the day. For those that are older, it's ok to skip every few years for the sake of capturing their whole life span. Make sure the stories are told in order. This also works especially well when you focus on their achievements throughout his/her life!

Plan a fun scavenger hunt throughout the day at Delgrosso's Amusement Park. There are all different types of scavenger hunts to go on, each with a different format. Although for some parties having different teams compete with each other can be a lot of fun, for someone's birthday when there is one person to honor, it's typically best to have everyone on the same team - everyone gets to help the birthday boy/girl be successful…when one person wins, they all win! These can be a lot of fun to create, but can take some extra work to make creative (sometimes you'll need more than just a list to excite some teens, for example.) Consider our GREAT ADVENTURE CHALLENGE AT Delgrosso's Amusement Park - a package for them to open once there filled with all kinds of puzzles and things to do! CLICK HERE to learn more!

If you'd like to give them a gift for them to open AT Delgrosso's Amusement Park, consider putting it in a locker first and then wrapping up the key to the locker in a little gift bag. This way you won't have to carry around the gift all day and it's always fun and mysterious to get a 'secret key' as a gift! This also works especially well if you're planning a treasure hunt or scavenger hunt inside Delgrosso's Amusement Park.

Make up shirts for all those going to Delgrosso's Amusement Park with the birthday boy/girl that say something fun like "It's Tim's Birthday today!" or "Point and smile at Tim - he's 18 today!"

Before you even leave for your day at Delgrosso's Amusement Park, decorate the INSIDE of your car with streamers and balloons (of course, being sure to not obstruct the view of the driver.) This will get the excitement going for the day ahead before you even get there!

Make a game out of their actual age number - see how many times you can find that number throughout the day at Delgrosso's Amusement Park. For example, if the birthday boy/girl is turning 21, everyone must look for the number '21' throughout Delgrosso's Amusement Park. Award one point to the FIRST person who finds a new one throughout the day and add up the points at the completion. You might find numbers on height requirement signs, menus, ticket pricing signs, phone numbers, etc.

Gather a bunch of trivia to create questions about the actual year the birthday boy/girl was born. This could be about everything from movies, music, political leaders/current events and even the price of gas! Ask a few questions each time there is a lull in the fun (I.e. waiting in line, etc.) and keep track of who gets the most correct answers throughout the day. Give a prize at the end for the winner. The prize could be something special that they get to do WITH the birthday boy/girl!

Have the birthday boy/girl wear a funny hat/shirt/outfit so that as they walk around Delgrosso's Amusement Park everyone will know it's their birthday. In this way, other visitors at Delgrosso's Amusement Park will be able to with them a happy birthday!

Pick different events that happened in the birthday boy/girl's life - events that happened somewhat close to each other. For example, different sets might include: (first tooth, crawled, sat up) or (learned ABC's, ride a bike, poured his/her own milk). This will work for adult events as well including (first girlfriend, first job, broke leg.) Everyone else there will have to guess the ORDER that the events happened. Award points as you go and determine a winner at the end of the day. This is a great activity to play while there are lulls in the fun (I.e. while standing in lines)

At one point, buy a helium balloon at Delgrosso's Amusement Park. Each person there uses a Sharpie marker (that you brought with you) to write down something positive they'd like to wish for the birthday boy/girl for that coming year (or later in life.) Once everyone has had a chance to write them all down on the balloon, allow either each person to share what they wrote or allow the birthday boy/girl to read them all. Finally, let the birthday boy/girl RELEASE the helium balloon in the air and watch their dreams sail up and up - where the birthday boy/girl will 'catch up with them later'!
