You can have balloons. They come in many colours. You could have red ones. You could have blue ones. Some look like animals too!

Who will come to your party? You can ask your friends. You can ask people you know.

You can play games with them. There are many fun games. You can play tag. You can play Capture the Flag. You can have a race. What games do you want to play?

You will need a cake. It is a special cake. It needs candles. How many do you need?

You can make a wish. You can blow out the candles. Then you can eat the cake. What kind of cake do you want?

You might get cards. You might get presents. They may come with a ribbon. You will need to untie it.

Many presents are wrapped. You will need to open them. Don't forget to say, "Thank you."

The party will end. It will be time to say bye. It will be a fun day. What do you want to do on your birthday?
