ty Time! And here are some oldfashioned party games that will help to bring fun and laughter to every party! Pass the parcel. The mystery present wrapped in layer after layer of wrapping paper is always a hit for any kids over the age of three. There are all kinds of variations of this game – you could place a lolly or small gift in each layer so every child gets a prize or have only one prize at the very bottom of the parcel. PARTIES Often the highlight of a child’s year, the birthday party will etch an enormous mark on the family celebratory calendar. Filled with wonderment and wishes, this magical moment is dreamt about long before it arrives – for a child that is! For a parent, it may be a very different story altogether. For the grown-ups, the magic and wonderment may be replaced with an overactive mind buzzing To start with: Discuss with your child the type of party he or she would realistically like. Next, work out if you can afford your child’s birthday dream and if you will have time to complete all the arrangements? 4-6 weeks to go: • Choose a date on or near your child’s birthday and arrange a suitable time. • Phone around venues/party attractions to check availability. • If you want special entertainment, book a professional entertainer. • With your child, discuss the guest list. Send out invitations with your child at school. 2-4 weeks to go: • If your party venue doesn’t supply food, write up your menu. • Fill up your freezer. Buying party food in advance will give you the opportunity to take advantage of three for two and ‘Buy one get one free’ offers that line the supermarket aisles. • Buy the non-perishable items. 1 week to go: • Follow up non-receipts of RSVP’s. Finalise numbers. • Buy or order the birthday cake. • Shop for the party food either online or with endless checklists; there may be anguish about the additional responsibility, plus of course there are the multiple presents to buy, the entertainers to sort... but it’s worth the effort as all they want is for their child to have a happy, memorable day. To help whittle through those never ending lists, Primary Times has produced this Party Guide to help ensure nothing is forgotten ….. at the supermarket. • Re-confirm date and times with the venue and entertainer • Arrange the party bags. Remember to make up a couple of extras for brothers and sisters who might stay. • Sort out your child’s birthday costume. On the Day: • Decorate the venue and prepare food and drink. • Collect the Helium Balloons and blow up any other balloons. • Write the name of each guest onto a stick-on label to attach to the cups. This will avoid any potential upset. • Remember the bin bags, washing-up liquid and cleaning cloths. And don’t forget the matches! • Keep track of who gave which present. It helps when writing thank you letters. Pin the tail on the donkey. All you need is a picture of a tailless animal and enough tails for each child, a blindfold and some pins to attach the tails. Each child takes it in turns to be spun round a few times and then to attempt to pin the tail as close to the point where the tail should be, whilst blindfolded. Musical chairs. Another fun game where players have to dance about until the music stops, and then find the nearest chair to sit on. Make sure there is always one less chair than the amount of players. Each time a player is out, remove another chair until you have a winner! Blind man’s bluff. Blindfold one child and spin him around three times. The other children must move around making noises while the blindfolded child tries to catch them. When the blindfolded child catches another child, he must guess who it is. If he guesses correctly, the caught child takes over as the blind man. The chocolate game. This game demands children sit in a circle and in the middle place a board with a large unwrapped bar of chocolate, a knife, fork, hat, scarf, pair of gloves and a pair of dice. Whoever rolls a six, or a double, has to quickly put on the hat, scarf and gloves and try to eat the bar of chocolate with a knife and fork. Meanwhile, the rest of the circle continue rolling the dice until the next child takes over. Bash a pinata. People think pinatas are just for birthday parties, but smashing open a container filled with treats has been done as far back as the fourteenth century to mark religious festivals. It’s easy to make your own pinata, too! Sleeping lions. This party game is good to quieten rowdy kids down at the end of festivities. Get all the children to lie down and pretend to be sleepy lions. Whoever moves after the game begins will be out. During this time ‘the hunter’ walks around the room talking to them and trying to make them laugh. Each child who is out can help you try and make the others laugh. The last person left sleeping is the winner. www.primarytimes.net/nyorks | FEBRUARY Issue Primary Times 15
