Mind Mapping households are happier and
healthier – and give each other more breaks!
Plan a Kids’ Party
Who doesn’t enjoy a good party? Planning a party, however, can be quite
another matter – especially a children’s party, where expectations appear to have
rocketed in recent years. Long gone are the days when you could just feed the
little darlings some jelly and ice cream, and expect them to entertain themselves
for a couple of hours. Today, throwing a kid’s birthday party can be a bit like
organizing a military manoeuvre, covering all the bases and preparing for every
eventuality. Happily, the Mind Map is on hand to help. In this Mind Map, I’ve
used the example of a children’s birthday party with a superhero theme, but you
used the example of a children’s birthday party with a superhero theme, but you
can of course use any theme you like – or leave out the children completely, if
you wish!
MIND MAP FOR PLANNING A KIDS’ PARTY
The core logistics of most parties are the same for children and adults: once
you’ve set the date, you need to choose a theme (if you want one) and a venue,
setting considerations such as cost, space and transport against each other. Then
draw up your guest list and plan the entertainment, the food and drinks and the
decorations, exploring these on the main branches and subbranches of your Mind
Map. If the party is going to include any special features, such as games,
swimming or a magician, include these in your Mind Map too. You could also
use one of the branches to explore how your party will reflect the theme, perhaps
through costumes, decorations and the small gifts that the children get to take
home. With an exciting topic such as a kid’s party, you can really have fun
creating your Mind Map, especially if there is a theme involved.
