| Presents
Have a box or table by the front door for arriving
children to leave their presents. This will keep all the presents
safe, allow you to open them at home and to keep track of
who gave which presents. For party latecomers this will also
avoid disrupting the show in mid-flow.
Parents & Adults
Most parents will leave their children at the party.
For those that stay they are welcome to sit with the children
and join in along with the show (most do).
On occasions, adults will want to stay for a coffee and a
chat. This can be incredibly distracting for the children
and the entertainer. For this reason it is a great idea to
arrange some chairs at the back of the venue for these adults
to sit. Rest assured if they get out of the control a bit
of adult audience participation always does the trick!
It is essential that at least
ONE adult must be present at all times whilst the entertainer
is performing.
Bouncy Castles and Balloons
In situations where a bouncy castle has been hired
for the children, the bouncy castle must be deflated during
the magic show. Controlling a large group of young children
is a fine art and having a bouncy castle lingering in the
background is very challenging.
If a bouncy castle is desired, time can be allocated in the
show schedule to allow sufficient playtime.
Please do not under any circumstances
blow up balloons and leave them laying on the floor for when
the children arrive. Any decorative balloons should be tied
up in bunches, hung out of reach and then given away at the
end of the show.
Food & Drink
A good idea are small food boxes, these can be used
with either hot or cold food and keeps all the mess in one
place. If all the food is placed in front of the children
they will eat you out of biscuits and leave all the savoury
food for you to eat over the next week.
Don't serve food or drink while the entertainer is performing
as this is very distracting for the children and will leave
you with a messy carpet!
