Hi all,


We?re hosting a little party for eldest?s third birthday this week and are looking for some sure fire party game hits to keep 8 other two and three year olds entertained for a couple of hours. Mums are likely to be fairly pre-occupied with younger babies so games need to be easy to organise, really engaging and easy for a (fairly knackered) dad to run.


Any ideas very very welcome.


Thanks!

Nick

Lots of musical games - musical bumps (when the music stops, all have to sit down, last one to sit down is out, last one left wins (small) prize), similarly musical statues (but have to stand still when music stops), pass the parcel.


Dead lions is a good one for if they all get a bit over-excited - they have to lie down on the ground and be a dead lion (i.e. still), when they move they're out, and last one left wins. This is particularly good if you're not looking too closely so they all get to have a quiet lie-down for a couple of minutes ;-) however, we did once have a winner of this at my sister's birthday party many years ago who refused to believe that she'd won - she thought we were trying to trick her into moving!, but that's more likely with slightly older kids. Otherwise a disco/dance is always good fun, especially if they've got balloons to play with.


Hope that helps - pass the parcel the only one which really needs any preparation (though you might need an assistant if you're concerned about making sure everyone gets a turn unwrapping the parcel and/or checking who is going to win it!)


Have fun!

    • That's not a bad idea, though I also want to keep the site as simple and user friendly as possibly. It's ultimately about getting a balance between being informative and being a good read. Stars are useful but I'd like people to read the reviews too. 
    • Standard places haven’t got any? Anyone seen any on sale this week? thanks
    • Sue. You really don’t have to keep saying about the electoral system    a) we all know about it b) it doesn’t matter    FPTP is the system we have always had and hopefully we will get rid of it someday but it is what it is    when anyone suggests changing the system Corbyn is right there at the front of the queue to prevent it   so its pointless him or any of supporters complaining about it    the evidence you want is the result of the elections. You can’t have clearer evidence. 
    • Has anyone from the school commented? Have they said why? Is it a fresh start? Is it that Grove in the name may have connotations of wealth and they want to attract more applicants from a wider area? Is that it currently is linked to the DKH Estate?
