How To Make A Barbeque Cookout Fun For Kids
Barbeque cookouts are perfect for adults who simply want to hang out together and have some fun. But would not it be great if kids can join in the fun as well? Suppose you are planning to have a cookout soon. Let the kids come! Here are some tips on how to make barbeque cookouts fun for kids:
Make sure there are hotdogs
Adults love meat and not just any type of meat. Most adults would want those thick, heavy, and very juicy burger patties. But do not forget that kids have to enjoy the food as well and most kids find very big burger patties to large for their tiny stomachs. That is why you have to make sure that there are hotdogs for them. Kids really love hotdogs and these cook very fast.
Prepare a list of party games
You should also prepare a list of party games that would keep kids busy. Since most barbeque cookouts are conducted outdoors, especially at backyards, then you might want to think of appropriate games.
• Limbo - One example is limbo. All you need is a stick and good music. The good thing about this game is that adults can join in as well. Encourage everyone in the party to join this game.
• Tug of war – Tug of war is also another simple lawn game for kids. For extra fun, you might want to place a pool of water in the midst of the two teams. The losing team will end up wet.
• Tag – Tag is a game that you can let the kids play by themselves. It is a fun and classic game. Just make sure that the kids do not run near the dining table or the grill to avoid accidents.
• Mini-golf – If you have some time, you can always create a mini-golf course at your backyard. Well, this might take up a lot of your time. But come party day, all you need to do is leave the kids at the course while you and your buddies enjoy some juicy burger patties.
Prepare fruit juice
Soda, beer, and wine are perfect beverages for a
barbeque cookout. But of course, you have to be mindful of the kids. Too much soda can make your kids very hyper. Of course, beer and wine should never be served to kids. That is why you should prepare fruit juice. Prepare at least two flavors of fruit juice so that the kids have options.
Make sure there is dessert
Kids really love dessert. And admit it, you like deserts as well. Sweets can definitely be perfect finishing touches to a tasty and delicious burger feast. You can consider having the top favorite dessert which is ice cream. Other pastries and sweets are encouraged as well.
These are just some tips to ensure that kids will have fun in your barbeque cookout party. If you are looking for tasty barbeque meals and side dishes, you can always rent the services of Fire It Up BBQ Catering. We serve delicious desserts as well!
