children's birthday party
A party held for a child on their birthday, where other children are typically invited to play together, eat cake, and give presents.
Zum Kindergeburtstag gab es eine Schatzsuche und Topfschlagen.
At the children's birthday party, there was a treasure hunt and a game of pot banging.
This word is made up of three parts: 'Kind' (child) in the plural ('Kinder') and 'der Geburtstag' (birthday). So it literally describes a birthday for children.
Meine Tochter plant schon seit Wochen ihren nächsten Kindergeburtstag.
My daughter has been planning her next children's birthday party for weeks.
In connection with a children's birthday party, the verbs 'feiern' (to celebrate), 'organisieren' (to organize), or 'planen' (to plan) are often used. If you are a guest, you are 'zu einem Kindergeburtstag eingeladen' (invited to a children's birthday party) or 'geht auf einen Kindergeburtstag' (goes to a children's birthday party).
Wir feiern den Kindergeburtstag dieses Jahr im Garten.
We are celebrating the children's birthday party in the garden this year.
Pay attention to the prepositions: You give something 'zum Kindergeburtstag' (for a children's birthday party/birthday occasion). You are 'auf dem Kindergeburtstag' (at the children's birthday party/location of the celebration).
Was wünschst du dir zum Kindergeburtstag?
What would you like for your children's birthday party?
birthday
'der Geburtstag' and 'der Kindergeburtstag' are related, but they do not mean exactly the same thing. 'Der Geburtstag' is a person's annual special day, whether they are a child or an adult. 'Der Kindergeburtstag' means a party for a child, usually with other children, games, cake, and presents. So you can say that a child has a birthday, but the 'Kindergeburtstag' is the party for it. The risk of confusion comes from the fact that both words can occur in contexts involving children and celebrations. For the day itself, 'Geburtstag' fits; for the children’s party, 'Kindergeburtstag' fits.
Beim Kindergeburtstag spielen die Kinder im Garten und essen später Kuchen.
At the children’s birthday party, the children play in the garden and eat cake later.
