Dress them up by renaming them in keeping with favorite characters from films or cartoons this can add to the enjoyment and works especially well when this also ties with the overall theme of the party and is continued through to the prizes given to the winners of the games.
Pass the Parcel:
Cool party game but requires a good degree of preparation time. But, bonus is that the time taken to play the game can be determined beforehand and the game can be speeded up or slowed down as required. Small gift item is wrapped in several layers of paper is passed from one guest to another whilst the music plays. When the music stops, a layer of paper is removed by the person who was holding it when the music stopped. This game finishes when the gift item is finally unwrapped. It is normally kept by that person. Modern variation is to include a small gift/wrapped sweet in every layer.
Wrap the Mummy: excellent party game for slightly older kids. It takes minimal time to set up. It requires two or more teams, each given toilet roll. Then, each team nominates a 'Mummy ' and winners are the team that wraps the Mummy fully in the quickest time.
Pin the Tail on the Donkey: Another classic. You can buy a kit which includes a large picture of a donkey and several self-adhesive numbered tails or you can be traditional and have lots of pin holes in your walls and smaller guests. Whatever way you go you can expect a real riot of laughter. But, recently this has been updated to Stick the Nose on the Clown, frankly sounds equally as cruel…
Musical Chairs: Needs one chair less than the number of players so you may need to break the party into two groups to manage this better. When music plays and party goers walk round the chairs, music stops they all try to sit down, one per chair. If your maths is right, one will be eliminated. It continues to one chair and finally you have your winner.
Hot potato: is a version of musical chairs for people who either don't have chairs or don't have sufficient space to play it fully. The guest sit in a circle and a potato is handed quickly from guest to guest. Some person is nominated to shout 'Hot Potato' whenever they feel like it and the person holding the potato at that time leaves the game. It works best when the 'shouter' cannot see who is holding the potato otherwise a degree of cheating may take place!
