5 Ways to Keep Parents Involved in the Fun at Zorb Football and Nerf Gun Party in London – Heathrow

When planning a Zorb Football and Nerf Gun Party in London – Heathrow, the focus is usually on the kids—and for good reason. These action-packed parties, hosted by Bubble Boy Events, are full of laughter, competition, and energy. But here’s the thing: parents don’t have to sit on the sidelines.

In fact, with just a little planning, your Zorb + Nerf party can be just as fun for the grown-ups as it is for the kids. Whether you’re hosting a birthday, school event, or family day out, here are five clever ways to keep parents involved in the party fun at your next Heathrow-based event.

1. 🎯 Set Up a “Parents vs Kids” Challenge Round

Let the grown-ups get in on the action! Halfway through the party, create a 10-minute “Parents vs Kids” Nerf Battle or a Zorb Football match. It’s always a crowd-pleaser, and it gives parents a chance to connect with their kids in a fun, active way.

Bonus: It’s great for photos and gets everyone laughing—win or lose!

2. 📸 Create a Parent-Run Photo Booth or Action Zone

Not everyone wants to roll or dart around—but that doesn’t mean they can’t be part of the fun. Set up a photo station with themed props: foam darts, safety goggles, inflatable trophies, and Zorb helmets.

Encourage parents to take turns snapping action shots of the kids during play. Bubble Boy Events staff are always focused on the safety and games, so extra candid moments from the sidelines are priceless.

3. ☕ Offer a Parents’ Chill and Chat Corner

Sometimes the best way to involve parents is to make space for them. Bring along some camping chairs, a few flasks of hot drinks (or order takeaway coffee nearby in Heathrow), and snacks. Make it a mini social zone where parents can relax while watching the party unfold.

Having a designated space makes everyone feel welcome, even if they aren’t jumping into the Zorb.

4. 🏅 Let Parents Help Hand Out Awards or Prizes

Near the end of the party, hand out small medals or certificates for fun categories like:

  • Best Team Player
  • Sharpest Nerf Shooter
  • Most Creative Zorb Move
  • Best Dance Celebration

Ask a couple of parents to present them—it makes the kids feel celebrated, and the grown-ups get to be part of the wrap-up moment.

5. 🎉 Involve Them in the Games (Without Getting Hit!)

If parents don’t want to fully play, they can still help manage the action:

  • Be a Nerf game referee or bunker resetter
  • Call out game challenges or start countdowns
  • Lead the cheers during Zorb Football goals

This light-touch involvement keeps parents connected to the games and adds to the event’s energy.
