By JuliettePublished Updated 7 min read
Every year, the same question comes up: what birthday theme will your boy choose? Decoration, snacks, entertainment, little presents - it's the same headache every time. To help you, we've selected six birthday themes for boys (which also work for girls, of course).
#1- 2024, a sporting anniversary
Winning your Olympic medal
There's no escaping it! The Paris Olympic Games will be held from July 26 to August 11, 2024. They will be followed by the Paralympic Games from August 28 to September 8. "The biggest event ever organized in France". will be an opportunity to convey the values of sport by organizing olympiads at home or in the park. You've got a sandbox, perfect for long jumping. A rubber band between two benches? That's perfect for the high jump. Over here, a straight line for the relay obstacle course; and over there, field field hockey. Remember to reward all participants with a medal made of salt dough or cake, for example.
Carrying your team's colors high
If the games on offer at a boy's birthday party pit several teams against each other, they'll need a distinctive sign to help them recognize each other and strengthen the bonds of the group. For this, Namaki suggests the use of face painting pencils (in 3-color kits for support or 6 colors for even more choice) for easy tracing, filling and drawing on the skin thanks to their soft lead.
💡 For the throwing test, we've chosen the "ball swallower" for you! Draw an animal or ogre's head with its mouth wide open on a piece of cardboard, then hollow out the part at mouth level. Punch two holes in the top of the cardboard and thread a string through them to hang it up. To play, older children should stand 3 m from the target and younger ones 1.50 m.
#2- Dinosaur birthday party
Meet the dinosaurs
"Dinosauuuuur, ggrrr!" If your 3 / 4 year old likes to watch Peppa Pig, chances are he's already let out Georges' cry. Indeed, although extinct and never seen, it's amazing to see that, from the youngest to teenagers, dinosaurs fascinate our children. From miniature games to board games and play dough, we've got everything you need for a great dinosaur birthday party at any age!
For a creative birthday
Vous le savez, chez Namaki, on aime donner libre cours à l’imagination et à la créativité des enfants. Découper, peindre, bricoler, tout est possible avec le thème des dinosaures. Prêts pour la dino course ? Proposez aux enfants de se déguiser en dinosaure et aidez-les à fabriquer leurs pattes avec du carton, des feutres et un élastique ou des lacets. Un dernier détail à régler : se maquiller comme son dinosaure préféré. Avec ses quatre fards à l’eau (or, orange, blanc et noir ), le kit de maquillage Tigre transform children into tyrannosaurus, pteranodon and gallimimus, and all that's left to do is start the disguised dino race.

#3- Paw Patrol birthday party
Blow out the candles with the Paw Patrol
The favorite puppies of 3-6 year-olds, the adorable Paw Patrol heroes are inevitably in our top 6. They are experts in rescue missions. When you say "mission", you mean physical activity, running and overcoming obstacles. It's the perfect opportunity to set up a course or a team relay race. Ideal in the garden, this activity is also possible indoors, and can be adapted to children's ages. Passing under a table, crawling, jumping to the other side of a line (string, shoelaces, tape...), anything is possible. Even the famous Pop Pop Boogie to dance together to a simple, fun choreography you've imagined!
Missions for superheroes
Avec leur esprit d’équipe, leur engagement et leur énergie débordante, ces chiots sont les parfaits alliés d’un anniversaire animé ! Dalmatien, cocker, bouledogue… Quel que soit le pelage, rien de très compliqué avec les crayons de maquillage. Pour compléter la panoplie d’agents très spéciaux, les enfants ont aussi besoin de leur badge de la Pat’Patrouille. Vous pouvez demander aux enfants de le dessiner sur une feuille ou un carton.
💡 Bien sûr, les super-héros ont aussi du succès auprès des plus grands. Pas de panique, nos différents fards à l’eau vous permettent de réaliser des maquillages de chevalier, ninja, et autre Batman. Aidez-vous de nos tutos de our site or our YouTube channel !

Have fun hiding figurines or stuffed animals, and give the map of your living room or garden to children dressed up as animals or explorers.
Adventurers well equipped to play
For a successful exploration, adventurers need to be well equipped. Have them make binoculars out of cardboard. Take two rolls of toilet paper and tape them together. Add string to tie around their necks and even paint to camouflage them. They'll be able to spot funny animals in the tall grass. Jungle or savannah, at Namaki, all animals are kings! With the wildlife children tattoos made from vegetable-based inks, children are spoilt for choice.
