last year for my daughters 6 b day. I hired some high school cheerleaders for about $25. they came over and taught the girls a cheer. then did a dance for them. they stayed with the girls and ate cake. we bought cheap pom poms from the doolar store in the school colors. for them to take home. we also had the girls make their own ice cream sundaes. and mega phones.. then we let them play outside after present time. (For their own play time.) It was a hit and the girls still know the cheer the older girls taught them. Make sure that the girls you hire are to know that the cheer is to be rated g... the high school girls loved it as much as my six year old.. By far the best party yet.. this year thinking carnival theme....ps... has some boys at th party, they thew the football around while the girls did the cheer...
