Each year, various school parties are held all over the country, giving students a chance to be rewarded for good behavior, to celebrate holidays, or to rejoice over accomplished school goals. In fact, most students look forward to party days for months in advance! Most school parties are filled with delicious treats and fun activities.

However, very few of these celebrations offer anything healthier than chocolate, ice cream, and sugary beverages. If you’re interested in finding healthy ways to add excitement to school parties, use these three tips to turn any junk food loaded school event into a healthy affair!

Inflatable Fun

One of the easiest ways to add both fitness and fun to a school celebration or party is by renting an inflatable bounce house or an inflatable obstacle course unit. Inflatable systems are inexpensive and easy to operate. Most often the inflatable is delivered, set up, managed, and disassembled by a professional staff member associated with the inflatable rental company.

It’s an easy way to get the students to be more active during the celebration, without adding to the stress for parents, teachers, or other party planners. When children use inflatable systems, they burn calories without even being aware of the fact they’re exercising!

Active Game Choices

Another way to load healthy fun into a school party is to offer active game choices. Instead of planning a traditional cakewalk, consider setting up a relay race for treats. If you still want to offer cakes and other snacks as prizes, you can do so without guilt if you make the children work for their treats. Offer each relay winner their choice of dessert to take home and feel great knowing they literally “ran” for it!

Eat Healthy

Popcorn, ice cream, pizza and soda drinks are the basic staple items for most school parties and celebrations. Each of the traditional party foods is delicious, inexpensive and easy to manage and serve. However, none of the options are very healthy. So, if you want to bring a healthier twist to your school party, think about serving fun and healthy snacks instead.

A great alternative to ice cream is the snow cone, which basically consists of ice and flavoring. Instead of soda drinks, think about offering bottles of water to quench the thirst of party guests. Small changes can make a real difference in terms of overall health.

By choosing to take healthy routes to add excitement to school parties, you not only provide hours of fun for party guests but also feel great knowing students will be picking up healthier habits. Using inflatable systems, active game choices, and offering healthier food options are easy ways to offer health conscious fun at your next school event.
