3 Virtual Birthday Ideas to Celebrate Your Kid While Social Distancing

May 28, 2020 by Writers Leave a Comment

With their normal routines thrown off, missing their friends and normal activities, and having to learn the ins and outs of virtual classes, it’s no wonder many kids are stressed out.

If your child’s birthday is approaching, they may also be feeling sad and upset that their birthday plans are cancelled. It’s perfectly normal to feel that way, but just because you can’t host a birthday party in public doesn’t mean your child’s birthday has to go uncelebrated!

There are tons of virtual birthday party ideas out there, but these are a few of our favorites. Take a look at these ideas for virtual birthday celebrations and create fun memories despite the situation. 

Virtual Birthday Party Ideas

Throw a streaming party.

If your child’s heart was set on a magician, princess, clown, or character appearance at their party, consider organizing a Zoom party where all of the guests can tune in and watch the performance from home! The performer will be grateful for the work, and your kid can still get a fun experience with their friends. Even if the performer doesn’t have a set show format, they can still facilitate games for the kids to liven up the party. 

Collect video greetings and have a viewing session with your kids.

Birthdays are such a special time, and not just for kids! It’s heartbreaking for grandparents, aunts and uncles, and other loved ones to miss the occasion, but they can still make the day special. If a video conferencing party doesn’t appeal to your crowd, get them to record videos of themselves wishing the birthday kid a happy birthday. Make some popcorn, dim the lights, and have a “screening” of all the nice messages. 

You can easily organize this type of virtual birthday party on Facebook by creating a private group and inviting the friends and family members you’d like to participate. For bonus points, do a Facebook live while your child watches the videos so the group can see their reactions!

Host game night online.

If your kid and their friends love board games, a game night is in order. There are all kinds of cool options for virtual game night these days, from the Houseparty app (trivia, Chips & Guac, Pictionary) to Playing Cards to Scattergories! 

While these virtual party ideas don’t compare to the fun of getting together with friends and family in person, we hope they’ll bring a smile to your birthday kid’s face on their special day. Remember, once the coronavirus restrictions are lifted, you can still plan a party at Rainbow Skateland! You could even team up with the parents of other kids in your child’s class whose birthdays got “skipped” due to the pandemic and organize a joint party.

3 Ways to Keep Your Kids Physically Active During the COVID-19 Pandemic

April 30, 2020 by Writers Leave a Comment

Mom and small child doing yogaStaying home during the pandemic has been hard for everyone, but it’s especially tough when you have kids who need to burn off some energy! Without P.E. class, team sports, or even the ability to play with neighborhood friends or use the local playground, kids are bouncing off the walls and parents are looking for ways to get their kids some exercise. 

Fortunately, there are plenty of ways for kids to get physical activity despite the coronavirus pandemic. 

How to Keep Kids Physically Active During the Pandemic

Outdoor Roller Skating

Just because we’re temporarily closed doesn’t mean your kids have to give up skating! Roller skating is an awesome full-body workout that provides cardio exercise and builds muscles… And you can do it outside of the skating rink as well!

To convert your family’s roller skates for outdoor use, you’ll just need to purchase and install a different type of wheel. Changing skate wheels is easy, and there are lots of tutorials online if you need help. Outdoor roller skate wheels are softer and wider, providing more “give” and absorbing shocks from all of the imperfections of outdoor skating surfaces, from cracks in the sidewalk to sticks and pebbles.  Give us a call at 716-507-4381 to purchase skate wheels, roller skates, and safety equipment to help your family get started skating outdoors. (When you shop local in Lockport at our skating pro shop, you’re supporting Rainbow Skateland and the local skating community. We appreciate your support!) 

Online Fitness Classes

Another great way to stay active without leaving the house is to stage a fitness class right in your living room! Check out some of the great free fitness content available on YouTube, including: 

  • Yoga for Kids: This video from Yoga with Adriene walks kids (or any beginner yogi) through a simple routine that can be customized for many ages and abilities. 
  • Bollywood hip-hop dance class: If your kids love to dance, there are plenty of cool dance class and choreography videos available to help them hone their skills. 
  • Family cardio workout: The best way to lead is by example, so join your kids for a cardio workout to blast some calories. 
  • Body weight workout with your kids: Can you bench press your kids? This family workout is great for little kids and parents alike. The kids will be thrilled to be included, and parents will get a whole new level of challenge in their workouts. 

Daily Walks

While there are lots of cool ways technology can help us be active, don’t forget about the classics! You can still walk around your neighborhood or local park as long as you maintain proper social distancing of at least 6 feet and wear a face covering.

Pandemic-monium: How to Keep Your Kids Busy While Social Distancing

April 23, 2020 by Writers Leave a Comment

Are your kids practically climbing the walls? Do you feel like you just might be living in a zoo? Is there a rising tension of possible mutiny and/or meltdown brewing among your darling family members? If so, you’re not alone! Stay at home orders and social distancing are hard enough for adults, but add kids to the mix and you’ve got a whole other challenge. 

While our skating rink is temporarily closed due to the coronavirus pandemic, we don’t want your kids to be sitting at home bored! Check out these ideas to keep your kids busy and entertained until it’s safe to reunite with friends, family, neighbors, and classmates in person again.

Ways to Keep Your Kids Busy

Bring back imagination play.

Remember when we were kids, before cool modern video games, hundreds of streaming movies and TV shows at our fingertips, and mobile games on every phone and tablet? (Look, we may have had video games, but Frogger and Space Invaders can only keep you entertained for so long.) 

What did you do as a kid? For many of us, some of the best memories from our childhoods are of playing pirates or superheroes in the backyard, playing dress up with odds and ends from around the house, “cooking” in play kitchens or “shopping” at a homemade grocery store. And let’s not forget good old “The Floor is Lava.” 

If you’re having trouble setting limits on your kids’ screen time, try getting there in a roundabout way: Set quotas for unplugged playtime instead. Chances are, your kids will have so much fun once they get into their imaginative games that they’ll want to keep playing. (And hey, you don’t have to tell them when their unplugged time is over.) 

Travel the world.

You may be stuck in Lockport, New York, but there’s no reason you can’t still travel the world! If you’ve got internet connection, you’re in business. Send your kids off on a (virtual) adventure to a National Park or famous museum. These are just a few of the cool cultural destinations to explore. 

  • From Amsterdam’s Van Gogh Museum to the Musee d’Orsay in Paris, Google Arts and Culture is a treasure trove of artistic, historical, scientific, and cultural marvels from around the world. 
  • Introduce your kids to the works of the Bard with the free content offered by Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, or get them hooked on Broadway with The Shows Must Go On!, a YouTube channel that posts a different Andrew Lloyd Webber musical each week.
  • Can’t get out in the great outdoors? Let the great outdoors come to you with virtual tours of National Parks and Historic Sites.
  • From puppet shows to workshop videos and more, The Center for Puppetry Arts has lots of great content available on Facebook, Zoom, and their website, much of it for free!

Missing Roller Skating? Here’s How to Safely Exercise Outside During a Pandemic

April 11, 2020 by Writers Leave a Comment

As many of you know, we are temporarily closed due to the coronavirus pandemic. While we understand the necessity of social distancing, we also know that many folks are struggling with the isolation, boredom, and inactivity of staying at home. Fortunately, there are ways you can stay safe while still having fun and getting some exercise! If (like us) you’re missing the skating rink, check out these tips to learn how to exercise outside safely during the coronavirus pandemic. 

Is It Safe to Exercise Outdoors? 

Most experts are saying yes—as long as you’re careful. Running, walking, hiking, and roller skating are acceptable as solo activities only (or with other members of your household). Staying active is important for keeping your immune system strong and keeping your spirits up during these stressful times. Remember, physical activity is a mood booster, so working it into your daily routine (even if you just do some jumping jacks in your living room) can help you stay positive.

Of course, it’s important to know how to safely exercise outdoors during the pandemic, so review these guidelines before you head outside. 

How to Exercise Outdoors Safely During the Coronavirus Pandemic

Maintain strict social distancing.

  • Go out solo. It may be tempting to meet up with a friend, but unless you are both committed to and mindful of maintaining at least a 6’ distance between you, it’s not safe to do so. 
  • Even if you are social distancing, it’s still best to avoid any park, trail, sidewalk, etc. where there is a lot of foot traffic. If it’s crowded, don’t go. 
  • Try to go at less popular times of the day so there will be fewer people around. Avoid areas like visitor centers where people may congregate. 
  • Remember to cover your cough or sneeze with the inside of your elbow. COVID-19 can linger in aerosolized form and infect others even if you don’t cough directly on them.

Don’t touch anything unless you absolutely have to—including your face. 

Coronavirus can linger up to several days on surfaces, so it’s important that you don’t touch anything unless truly necessary when you are outside of your home. This includes walk buttons at intersections, water fountains, handrails, public exercise equipment, playground equipment, park benches, restroom surfaces, garbage cans, and many other surfaces. If you choose to wear gloves, remember to keep your hands away from your face, dispose of them properly after use, and continue to wash hands frequently. 

Protect your home. 

Hopefully after doing 30 to 60 minutes of physical activity, you’re feeling more positive, energetic, and overall better! But before you settle back down on the couch to continue your Netflix binge or go back to organizing your closet KonMari style, make sure you’re not bringing outside contaminants into your home. Leave your shoes outside or in your entryway, wash your “outside” clothes ASAP, wash your hands, and be sure to disinfect doorknobs, light switches, and any other surface you or your clothes or shoes touched upon entering the house. (Don’t forget about your steering wheel and car surfaces, too!)

We hope these tips will help you get active and stave off cabin fever! We wish you all good health and safety, and look forward to the day we’re able to open back up to the public for good times with friends at the skating rink.

Kids Birthday Party Tips for Simple Celebrations That Still Bring the Fun

March 26, 2020 by Writers Leave a Comment

Like everything else these days, kids’ birthday parties have become quite involved. Add in the chaos of the coronavirus pandemic, and it’s easy to see why so many parents are looking for simple kids birthday ideas that can be done at home. Some folks have come up with extremely creative ways to celebrate birthdays while social distancing, from birthday “parades” to virtual brunch dates! 

If you’re looking for ways to make your child’s birthday special while still protecting your family and doing your part to flatten the curve, these ideas are for you. We hope you’re able to enjoy the day despite the current stresses, and we can’t wait to once again celebrate your special days with you at Rainbow Skateland when it’s safe to do so. 

Simple Birthday Ideas for Kids During Coronavirus Isolation

Celebrate face to face—on the computer screen.

Remember, just because you have to keep a physical distance during this time, doesn’t mean that you have to be socially isolated! One of the simplest ways to celebrate your child’s birthday is to host a virtual birthday party. With schools closed, your child is probably missing their friends quite a bit, so they’ll be thrilled to discover that their guests have all “arrived” to sing Happy Birthday via Google Hangouts, Skype, Facetime, or whatever your favorite video conferencing platform may be. 

Make it extra festive by asking each guest to create a party hat out of construction paper, magazine pages, or whatever they have on hand! Everyone can color and sticker the hats, and then do a show and tell to the rest of the group. 

Let your child plan a staycation.

Just because you’re stuck at home doesn’t mean you can’t have a fun birthday celebration. Ask your child to help you plan their “perfect” day of at-home activities, from breakfast pancakes to building a fort in the living room where the whole family can watch a movie together. (Birthday kid’s choice, of course!) You might be surprised at how much fun your family can have and how creative you can all get by just working with what you have on hand. 

Celebrate while social distancing.

For inspiration, just look to the families in the article we linked at the top of this blog post. One child got an amazing birthday surprise when his parents took him outside to see the parade of friends and family members driving slowly past the house to send their birthday wishes. The would-be guests of the postponed birthday party showed their celebratory spirit by decorating their cars, wearing costumes, singing Happy Birthday, and more. 

Another family enlisted their whole neighborhood to create an unforgettable Sweet Sixteen experience for their daughter. When her mom asked her to go on a walk around the neighborhood, she never guessed that she’d be taking a tour of birthday tidings! Neighbors had written notes in sidewalk chalk, decorated their yards, and even sang from their front doors as the birthday girl and her mom walked by. 

It just goes to show you that with enough creativity and heart, you can make any birthday special—even when you’re in the middle of a pandemic!

March 13, 2020 by Writers Leave a Comment

Mondays are the worst, right? Well, not anymore! Your hometown skating rink is changing the game with Adult Retro Skate Night. Find out why this event is a must-see addition to Lockport nightlife below. 

Adult Retro Skate Night at Rainbow Skateland

No Kids Allowed

You hear the shrill sound of a whistle, then the lifeguard yells, “Adult swim! Kids out of the pool!” Suddenly there are no overexuberent kids screaming, splashing, and cannonballing too close for comfort. You can enjoy the relaxing luxury of a kid-free pool, if only for a few minutes.

Imagine that feeling of relief, but instead of the pool, you’re at the skating rink. While we’re all about family fun here at Rainbow Skateland, sometimes grown folks need a break. That’s why Retro Skate Night is for ages 18 and older only. Don’t forget to bring your ID to this kid-free weekly event. 

Old School Tunes

Even if we did allow kids to this event (which we don’t), they just wouldn’t get it. Retro Skate Night is all about going “back in the day” with your favorite old school skate jams, from deep cuts to chart toppers. What were your favorite songs to roller skate to in the past? We’d love to hear your suggestions, so head over to our Facebook page and join the conversation. 

Drink Specials

This one almost goes without saying. Come on, if there’s anything that could make Monday, well, less Monday-ish, it’s a good drink special! Get your sip on and skate that case of the Mondays away. 

Something Different

Do you ever feel like you’re in a rut with your social or romantic life? Tired of meeting up at the same bar with the same people all the time? Tired of the same predictable date night? Tired of Netflix and falling asleep on the couch?  If this is sounding familiar, it’s time to shake up your routine! Adult Retro Skate Night lets you start the week off with a dose of affordable fun, socializing, and yes, even exercise. That excitement can carry you through the week when you’ve got a lot on your plate. 

Memories Old and New

One of the reasons people love our Retro Skate Nights is because the music takes you back to simpler days. Music is one of the best ways to evoke happy memories, so come out and be reminded of some blasts from your past … And make some new memories, too!

Adult Retro Skate Night: What You Need to Know

  • Who: Anyone 18+ 
  • What: Retro music, drink specials, good times
  • When: Every Monday evening from 8:00 pm to 10:30 pm (unless otherwise noted)

Don’t forget to RSVP and invite your friends!

How to Better Your Fundraiser Efforts with Us

February 6, 2020 by Writers Leave a Comment

Desk with computer, coffee, person writing in notebook

If you’re in charge of fundraising for a school PTA, sports team, scout troop, nonprofit, or other community group, you have a lot on your plate. Fundraising is one of the most crucial jobs in any organization, and it takes a lot of time, energy, and dedication to make fundraising events a success. Of course, you probably also have a job, a family, and a home to deal with, so it’s important to find efficient and effective means of planning your fundraiser that will give you the most bang for your buck. That’s where we come in! 

At Rainbow Skateland, we host some of the most popular fundraisers in Lockport and the greater Buffalo area. We’ve been a staple of the western New York community for over 60 years, and in that time have had the privilege of hosting fundraisers for many wonderful organizations. Check out some of our tips to maximize your fundraising efforts with us and throw a successful event that everyone will enjoy!

How to Make Your Roller Skating Fundraiser a Success

Start planning ASAP. 

However long you think you need to plan a fundraiser event, start earlier. Always keep Murphy’s Law in mind: Nothing is as easy as it looks; everything takes longer than you think it will; and everything that can go wrong, will go wrong—at the worst possible time. While that may sound very doom-y and gloomy, all it really means is that you should prepare thoroughly, expect the unexpected, and stay on your toes. The best events are the ones where the organizer is able to roll with the inevitable curveballs and keep the show on the road. Mixed metaphors aside, you can set yourself up for success by starting to plan your event early. Booking your event far in advance has many advantages, including: 

  • More scheduling options—choose the date and time that will be best for your group. Don’t forget to take into account holidays, school breaks, and other competing local events.
  • Getting to people early, so you secure your place on their calendar before they get booked up with conflicting events.
  • The ability to think through all of the details and logistics without the pressure of last-minute panic.
  •  Plenty of time to recruit help in planning, marketing, and executing the event

Get the word out.

Planning ahead has many benefits, but one of the biggest is that you’ll be able to spend more time getting the word out about your fundraiser. Once you have the major details settled, like event venue, date, and time, you can get the word out via local calendar and event sites, news and radio stations, local influencers and bloggers, and of course on social media! Make sure to: 

  • Create a Facebook event page.
  • Invite people to RSVP to the event.
  • Run social ads.
  • Tweet and post about it. 
  • If you have an email newsletter, send emails announcing the event ahead of time and reminders leading up to the day of. 

Consider ways to add excitement. 

One of the other most important things you can do to make your fundraiser a success is to think about what you’re offering to attendees. Other than donating money to your cause, why would people bother to come? In most cases, the answer is entertainment! 

There’s no need to book a bunch of musicians or performers; if you host a roller skating fundraiser, the entertainment is built right in! 

Our Lockport fundraisers include:

  • An awesome soundtrack. You can choose the genre of music or leave it to us!
  • Fun activities supervised by our staff. 
  • Full snack bar facilities so your group can refuel and keep the party hoppin’. 
  • Access to the game room, laser tag arena, and kids’ bounce zone for an additional cost.  
  • A Light Show Extravaganza to delight your guests. 

Ready to plan the best Lockport NY fundraiser yet? Give us a call at 716-507-4381!

The Art of War: How to Win at Laser Tag!

January 30, 2020 by Writers Leave a Comment

One of these knights is ready for laser tag victory!

If you’ve ever played laser tag, you know it’s a blast, whether you win or lose. But hey, we’d all prefer to win, right? Well, whether you’ve never played laser tag before or you’re a seasoned laser tag warrior, up your game and learn how to win at laser tag with these tips from your Lockport laser tag pros at Rainbow Skateland. 

How to Win at Laser Tag

Ready to dominate your next game of laser tag in Lockport? Just follow these tips to achieve the next level laser tag victory you’ve always aspired to!

Dress for success. 

Comfort and ease of movement are key for laser tag, so don’t wear uncomfortable clothes, high heels, etc. But for a real pro move, you should also dress in darker colors. Let your friends know to wear black or dark colors if you plan on playing laser tag, and get ready to feel like a ninja. You’ll be much harder to see in the darkness of the Laser Tron!

Get in battle mode. 

First things first, get the lay of the land and familiarize yourself with the laser tag arena so you don’t get stuck in a blind spot or dead end. Give yourself a moment to let your eyes get used to the dark. 

Keep firing. 

Increase your score by continuously firing—it won’t hurt you and you might as well get every point you can!  

Stay mobile. 

You’ve heard the term “sitting ducks” before, right? Don’t be an easy target! Stay on the move, stay low, and if you have to make a run for it out in the open, opt for a crouching zig zag run. (Why yes, that is a technical term!) 

Split up. 

Speaking of sitting ducks, it’s important to be a lone wolf! You and your teammates will be more effective if you split up. Not only is it easier to hide, but you also won’t be as big of a target. Plus, you can try to surround your opponents by coming at them from multiple angles! 

Practice. Practice. Practice. 

Like any other skill, practice makes perfect! The more you and your friends play laser tag, the better you’ll get. Once you’ve played several games together, you’ll be operating like a well-oiled machine. 

Good luck in your next laser tag battle! Remember that we not only offer laser tag during our regular open skating session hours, but also as the coolest parties in Lockport. Our party packages are great for birthdays, team parties, school fundraisers, scouting events, work outings, bachelor or bachelorette parties, and so much more. Combine laser tag, roller skating, and some friendly competition in the arcade for a day or night of fun you and your guests will never forget!

3 Family Traditions to Start in 2020

January 9, 2020 by Writers Leave a Comment

Family making silly faces on grass

Can you believe that we’re already in the year 2020? If you were born before 2000, you probably feel like the 1980s are still 20 years ago! While we may have grown up, established careers, homes, and even families of our own, it’s still a crazy feeling to be living in the 2020s. 

As you reflect on New Year’s resolutions and plans for not only the year, but the coming decade, don’t forget one very important thing: Make time for traditions. 

Family traditions are the source of so many happy memories, and no matter how old we get or how far from home we may travel, those traditions can help us feel at home again. So what traditions do you share with your kids? If you’re looking for ways to make memories and get closer as a family, check out these ideas for family traditions 

Family Traditions to Start With Your Kids

Helping Hands

One of the best traditions you can pass on to your kids is a legacy of serving others. There are so many ways to give back to the people around you and teach your kids compassion, from mowing an elderly neighbor’s lawn, to the way you treat homeless people, to helping out in your kids’ classrooms. While empathy and compassion are important to focus on every day, you can also turn lending a helping hand into a family tradition that you and your kids will cherish. Choose a day once a month, quarter, or year to be family service day. Take the whole family to volunteer or give back in some way, for example: 

  • Adopt a road, beach, or pond and (safely) pick up trash. You don’t have to officially adopt a highway. Just start taking care of the land around you and take pride in keeping it clean and safe to the best of your abilities. 
  • Volunteer at a food bank or soup kitchen, sorting food donations, preparing food, or serving food to people who need it. 
  • If your kids are old enough, consider working on a Habitat for Humanity house or some kind of community building project. They’ll learn valuable building skills and you’ll all feel a sense of pride knowing that you built something together. 

Family Fun Night 

Life can get so busy, and it’s important to make time for the people who mean the most. Set aside a day every week or month to have guaranteed family hangouts. Our Family Skate session every Saturday is a great way to spend some time bonding with your kids while having a blast! 

Birthday Bashes

Birthdays are extra special when you have a family tradition (or several) to go along with them! Some fun birthday traditions include: 

  • Birthday time capsules – Each family member gets a shoe box or other small container, and every year on their birthday they add an item or two to remind them of the last year. When your kids are 18, the whole family can look through and see what they were into when they were dinosaur-obsessed at 6 or going through a goth phase at 14. 
  • Movie night – Have a family movie night and let the birthday kid pick the movie and a snack. 

An awesome birthday party – You never forget those really cool childhood birthday parties, especially when your parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and friends are there. At Rainbow Skateland, we throw the best birthday parties in Lockport!
