Why are event modules for children so important?
Whether it's a street party, company celebration, open day or wedding - children have their very own idea of entertainment. Actively involving them not only makes their eyes light up, but also creates relaxed parents and a more pleasant overall atmosphere.
An event module for children fulfils several tasks at once:
It keeps young guests busy and excited
It takes the pressure off parents, who can move around more freely
It provides variety and positive memories
It makes your event more family-friendly and likeable
A well thought-out children's programme at events can therefore make a decisive contribution to how your event is perceived - by guests of all ages.
Which event modules are suitable for children?
The choice is huge - depending on the age, space available and type of event. Popular classics include:
Jumping castles in all shapes and sizes
Child face painting and glitter tattoos
Climbing walls to let off steam
Balloon modellers or magicians
Craft stations with supervision
Mini carousels or trains
Games course or hands-on stations
Giant building blocks or soft modules for small children
For larger events or outdoor events, there are also larger installations such as climbing mountains, slides or sporting challenges. It is important that the event module is suitable for the target group and meets safety standards.
What does an event module for children cost?
Prices depend on the size, complexity and duration of use. As a rough guide:
Small modules (e.g. bouncy castle, craft stand): from approx. 150-300 euros per day
Supervised offers (e.g. face painting, animation): from approx. 250-500 euros
Large play modules (e.g. climbing tower, obstacle course): from approx. 400-1,000 euros
Some providers offer package prices for complete children's programmes including supervision, set-up and dismantling as well as materials. A complete package is particularly worthwhile for larger children's programmes at events, as it means less coordination effort.
Does someone always have to watch over children's event modules?
In short: yes. For liability and safety reasons, every event module for children should be supervised - either by the provider's staff or by helpers on site. Many providers provide trained staff to look after the entertainment and safety. This is particularly recommended for larger modules or longer events.
Tip: Clarify in advance who will be responsible for supervision, whether additional insurance is required and whether certain age groups are recommended for the module.
What else needs to be considered during planning?
Here are a few important points that are often overlooked:
Space requirements and surface: Not every module fits everywhere. Clarify early on how much space is available and whether electricity or water is required.
Weather: There should be a plan B for outdoor modules (e.g. a tent or a covered alternative).
Permits: Depending on the location and size, you may need a permit or have to register the event with the organiser.
Power connections: Many modules need electricity. Therefore, check whether there are enough connections available.
Accessibility and age groups: Make sure that smaller or restricted children can also find a suitable offer.
Which events are particularly suitable for children's entertainment?
Almost all of them! Whether public or private - wherever families are welcome, a well thought-out children's programme makes all the difference. Event modules are particularly popular at:
City festivals and street parties
Corporate parties and summer festivals
Weddings and family celebrations
School and club parties
Fairs or open days
The better the children's programme matches the event, the greater its impact on the overall experience.
