Birthday parties for ages 7-12: they want to play, laugh and have the time of their lives
At this age you can't make them believe just anything, and a babyish party would be their worst nightmare. So we give them what they're after: teams, challenges and a host who throws themselves into it.
What parents say about our 7-12 parties

« A Koh-Lanta party for my daughter's 9th birthday. A wonderful, high-energy host who kept all 12 children focused so they got the most out of it! I recommend Kidays — the team is very professional and very available. »
« For his 8th birthday we did Fort Boyard again, this time with 9 friends. Lucien ran it, handled the children really well and came up with games I thought were genuinely good. A great time for the children and far less stress for the parents! »
« A cracking team and a fantastic birthday for my daughter!! 22 children and two excellent hosts! Thank you! »
« All 12 kids and my daughter had a brilliant party with Steeve! Thank you Steeve and Kidays for such a great job! See you soon. »
« Steeve came to run a Koh-Lanta party for my son's 9th birthday. It rained, so we did the whole thing indoors: he adapted brilliantly! The activities were varied and flowed well, alternating between energetic and calmer stretches. He was great with the children and always struck the right tone. For the parents, an enormous relief 🙂 This is the third time we've booked Kidays and we intend to keep going. »
« Very good! I booked them for a 10th birthday on the Fort Boyard theme (in Lyon). Valentin, our host, was brilliant with the children and with us on the planning. All 10 children had a blast for over two hours. Kidays handles the entertainment; the decorations and the food are down to the parents. That's stated clearly, so it was no issue for us at all. »
Games, energy, and nobody left on the sidelines
Carefully built, varied and original formats, where the fun comes before the competition and everyone has a part to play.
A host who passed an interview
Every host is interviewed by Aurélien, our co-founder, before their first parties. Teams, challenges, puzzles: they know the games older kids love.
A call before the party
Your host calls you at least 24 hours ahead to reassure you, take down the practical details and shape the programme around what your child wants.
Team against team
Two teams going head to head: the energy rises straight away, and nobody stays in a corner.
Original games created for Kidays
Aurélien, our co-founder and a former holiday-club leader, created exclusive games for Kidays, such as King and Queen or Liar Interview. Your children will play games they won't find anywhere else.
Varied formats, true to the theme
Sports olympiads, Harry Potter drama, Fort Boyard puzzles and challenges: every format stays rooted in the theme you picked, and every child finds something to love.
A birthday is a party, not a tournament
At this age, sore losers are never far away. Our hosts put the fun ahead of the competition: your child lifts the trophy, and every guest gets their moment too. The goal: nobody goes home sad.
A host who specialises in your theme, close to home
Our algorithm suggests a host who specialises in the theme you picked, close to home, and you see who it is before you pay. Organising takes a few clicks; on the day, you get to enjoy your child's party.
Booked in under 2 minutes
Secure payment, with the exact price shown before you pay. With the optional worry-free cancellation cover, you get a full refund if you cancel at least 48 hours before the party.
« Booking with us is the science of getting it right: no babyish party for the big kids, no sore-loser tears, and a passionate host who gives everything so the children have the time of their lives. »
Immersive, never babyish
From seven up, children stop buying into one make-believe mission that runs all afternoon. So we pick a theme for the world it builds — the setting, the challenges, the soundtrack — not for a story they'd have to pretend to live.
The children are split into teams and take each other on across fast, inventive activities, in a spirit that stays playful rather than competitive. Sport, performance, puzzles and teamwork alternate so everyone finds their place, the quiet ones included.
The party usually runs 2h30 to 3h, with a fifteen-minute break for cake and presents, run by the host and counted within the total time.
For smaller spaces and rainy days
These worlds fit into one cleared living room: not much running, plenty of performing, puzzling and challenges taken on the spot.
For gardens, parks and good weather
Worlds designed for open space: physical challenges, obstacle courses and team tournaments.
One clear price, based on how long it runs
For ages 7-12 we recommend 2h30 to 3h: it takes time to set up the teams and work through the challenges.
You win on both counts
Kidays sells its own service, not a game of Russian roulette with random hosts: every host is interviewed before their first party, and parents rate them after every party.
Going through a small outfit often means a patchy experience: endless emails, wasted time, and a lack of experience that shows on the day.
With us you get both: the ease of a platform (online booking, secure payment, the price known up front) and the know-how of a real host on the day.
The only catch: our most popular hosts get booked up fast.
Smile, you're playing with Kidays
Everything parents ask us before they book
A younger brother or sister?
Under seven the recipe changes: one scripted mission, an enchanted world and short games that hold their attention from start to finish.
