Family events are the perfect opportunity to enjoy delicious BBQ while creating lasting memories with your loved ones. At Always Fresh BBQ, we know that keeping kids happy and entertained is key to a successful gathering. Here are some kid-friendly menu ideas and activities that will make your family BBQ event a hit for guests of all ages.
Kid-Friendly Menu Ideas
1. Mini Sliders
Small in size but big in flavor, mini sliders are a hit with kids. Offer a variety of options, including classic beef, chicken, and veggie patties, with an assortment of toppings like cheese, lettuce, and ketchup.
2. BBQ Chicken Skewers
Skewers are fun to eat and easy to handle. Marinate chicken pieces in a mild BBQ sauce and grill them on skewers. For added nutrition, alternate chicken with colorful bell peppers and cherry tomatoes.
3. Mac and Cheese
A classic comfort food, mac and cheese is always a crowd-pleaser. Make it extra special by adding a crispy breadcrumb topping and baking it until golden brown.
4. Grilled Corn on the Cob
Sweet and juicy, grilled corn on the cob is a favorite among kids. Serve it with a variety of toppings like butter, cheese, and a sprinkle of paprika.
5. Fruit Kabobs
For a healthy and refreshing treat, create fruit kabobs using a mix of strawberries, grapes, pineapple chunks, and melon balls. They’re colorful, nutritious, and fun to eat.
6. BBQ Chicken Wings
Mildly seasoned BBQ chicken wings are a great finger food for kids. Offer a variety of dipping sauces like ranch, honey mustard, and mild BBQ sauce.
7. Homemade Lemonade
Keep kids hydrated with a refreshing drink. Homemade lemonade is easy to make and can be served in fun, colorful cups.
Fun Activities for Kids
1. Craft Station
Set up a craft station with supplies like colored paper, markers, stickers, and glue. Kids can create their own BBQ-themed art, such as paper plate BBQ grills or drawings of their favorite foods.
2. Lawn Games
Classic lawn games like sack races, tug-of-war, and bean bag toss are always a hit. These games encourage kids to be active and enjoy the outdoors.
3. Face Painting
Hire a face painter or set up a DIY face painting station with safe, non-toxic paints. Kids can choose from fun designs like animals, superheroes, and BBQ-themed images.
4. Bubble Station
A bubble station with bubble wands and bubble solution provides endless fun. Kids love chasing and popping bubbles, and it's an easy activity to set up.
5. Mini BBQ Chef
Let kids feel like chefs by giving them their own mini aprons and chef hats. Set up a mini grill (play
set) where they can pretend to cook alongside the adults.
6. Storytime Corner
Create a cozy corner with blankets and pillows for storytime. Read BBQ-themed books or let kids take turns telling their own stories.
7. DIY Sundae Bar
