7 is such a great age! Full of fun and wonder that makes a 7th birthday party fun! If you’re having a kid soon, read on because we’ve got some fun and easy 7th birthday ideas for you. Here are our 7th birthday party ideas to ensure a great 7th party celebration.

7th Birthday Party Ideas

At this age, children are more independent and likely to be able to hang out with less parental interference than when they were younger. In other words, 7 years old is a wonderful age for some party activities. When planning your child’s 7th birthday party, keep their interests in mind and feel free to extend the party a little longer than when they were younger. Check out some of our ideas below!

Pro party tip Keep the party manageable by only inviting the number of children your child’s age.

LEGO Party

LEGO has been a family favorite for decades! It’s colorful, versatile and there are no limits to what your imagination can create 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 7th Birthday party ideas are a Minecraft themed party. Minecraft is a very popular video game where players can work alone or cooperate with others. Turn your space into a Minecraft world by adding green and black to your decor as well as placing characters from the game like Creepers and pigs around. Let guests make their own Minecraft inspired masks and serve snacks labeled with items from the game. For example pretzels as “sticks.” If your child loves Minecraft, your child will love this theme!

Football Themed 7th Birthday Party

Does your child love football (or soccer as some call it)? If so, consider throwing a football-themed 7th party. To start, use plants and fake grass to give your space a stadium feel. Next, arrange a friendly match with the guests and let them form their own team cheer. Next, they can enjoy football shaped cake pops. Finally, don’t forget to take a group photo with the trophy! Also, any sport can be a good birthday party theme. Go team!

Pastel Carousel Party

A pastel carousel party is the perfect choice for a magical and beautiful vibe for a seventh birthday party. To get the same effect for a birthday party, choose pastel colors like pink, blue, yellow and purple. Add a touch of gold for a more vintage feel to your decor and food. Hang pastel colored banners and ribbon to mimic a carousel shape and serve cupcakes with soft icing for dessert. Enjoy!

Escape Room Party

Now a real escape room is probably a step too far for little kids, but the Escape Room Kit is a great way to have an Escape Room party at home. This Time Travel Escape Quest kit is perfect for this age group and is very simple to set up. First, download the instructions and the game. Second, print out the kit items and transform your home with a step-by-step guide. You can also make changes to the difficulty level of the game depending on your guests. So easy and so much fun!

7th Birthday Bowling

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

Character themed birthday

If your child loves a Disney princess, TV cartoon character or superhero, then use them as your inspiration for a rad party! There are many party supply stores offers character tableware, decorations and favors with popular characters on them. Finding a local grocery store or baker to make a character inspired cake is pretty easy these days or make your own with edible frosting sheet. Finally, maybe even see if that character can go and visit the party goers to lead some activities. It will definitely be special!

Dance Party

For a birthday dance party all you have to do is find your dancing shoes, turn on the strobe light and play some tunes! This is the ultimate party idea for any kid who loves to dance, listen to music and have fun. Take turns choosing songs to dance to and play the “Freeze Dance” game. In addition, perhaps children 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

Today, many organizations offer party packages for families, even if you don’t normally use their services or facilities. One idea is to host a birthday party at a recreation or gymnastics center. Children will be taught how to use certain equipment, can play and have a great time trying new things and being active. Bonus, there’s no cleaning your house to worry about!
