A "traditional" birthday party at home

I remember it now!! What a blast from the past :)

Didn't get to play it often but was the best game!!

I remember that too.

You surely need to serve icecream floats too.

Just resurrecting this old thread as my 7 year old is keen on a science party. And was just wondering if Pickle and Gubodge did use Science Boffins and if so would you recommend them.

Done and been to a fair few of these and they are very popular indeed. Agree not to do too many and also just go with the flow a bit.

One of the best (worst for mess) is where you divide the party into teams of 3 or 4, provide everyone with a loo roll and get them to "wrap" one of their number as a mummy. Judge best wrapped, wrst wrapped, scariest etc then have them break out and make a mess with the mess. Its utterly ridiculous but this is astonishingly popular.

Dance like a ..... (e dog, chicken, your mum etc etc), musical farts (like musical bumps but when you sit donw you have to make a farting noise - really stupid but very very funny)

Treasure hunt and clues very good too. We did one once where each of the clues was a kind of challenge / game which they had to complete to get the next clue. For a queiter time drawn consequences is very good fun. Agree with the apple bobbing and that one where you have to out your face in a massive bowl of flour / rice krsipies.

I suppose the thing to realise is that it will get a bit messy - but that's the fun.

Ah - didn't read to the end and got drifted off into a reverie of party games ...

Yes, we used Science Boffins and it was excellent, the kids had a brilliant time.
