কিছু দেশে শিশুদের জন্মদিনে সাধারণত একটি পার্টির আয়োজন করা হয়। শিশুটির বন্ধুরা বাড়িতে আসে। সেখানে বিশেষ খাবার থাকে, যেমন মিষ্টি। শিশুরা খেলাধুলা করে এবং গান গায়। বন্ধুরা প্রায়ই শিশুর জন্য জন্মদিনের উপহার নিয়ে আসে। উপহারগুলো রঙিন কাগজে মোড়ানো থাকে। উপহার হতে পারে খেলনা, বই বা কিছু পোশাক। কিছু দেশে বন্ধুরা উপহার নিয়ে আসে না। সবচেয়ে গুরুত্বপূর্ণ বিষয় হলো দিনটি উপভোগ করা এবং বন্ধু ও পরিবারের সঙ্গে সময় কাটানো।
