Thanks heaps. I am sure the older kids will be over it by the time we get to the cake cutting.

I thought it to be hard as it is in July and I remember last year it was cold and raining.  I suppose I was cheating in wanting the game to be relevant to all of the children. Worth a try I suppose.

Pinatas are good BUT if you make your own make sure not to put on too many layers. i have made this mistake SOOOO many times and had children thrashing around for 20 mintues trying to get the damn thing open. usually results in me getting a huge knife and slitting the botton - great look for a 2 year olds party when thye pinata in question is shaped like a pig - a few traumatised children, but subdued by the promise of candy.

Toy libraries are great for hiring a few big toys that the kids can play with. You say you have a 13 year old coming? ring them before hand and ask them to organise a game!

treasure hunts are good, put them in "teams" with a big kid and a little kid. worked well the few times I've tried this. Pin the tail on Nemo could be a game!]]> Thu, 03 May 2007 20:30:23 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7228&PID=139886&title=party-ideas#139886 <![CDATA[Party Ideas : I find treasure hunts are good...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7228&PID=139791&title=party-ideas#139791 Author: busymum

I find treasure hunts are good for little kids. They don't really get competitive until after their 3rd birthday, so anything co-operative is good. Also everything goes over a 1yo's head lol.

That's a wide range of ages you are trying to cater to. The 8+ yo's might want to bring a ball to kick around and leave the "babies" to the games?]]> Thu, 03 May 2007 17:08:09 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7228&PID=139791&title=party-ideas#139791 <![CDATA[Party Ideas : If you are having a fish theme....how...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7228&PID=139766&title=party-ideas#139766 Author: MummyFreckle

If you are having a fish theme....how about something involving 'fishing rods'? You can make a rod, with a peice of bamboo and some string, and tie a magnet to the end of the string.

Cut out fish shapes and make a pond on the floor using blue tissue or a blue table cloth / sheet (and you can put in things like shells, paper seaweed, other fishy / sea related things!!) and basically play it like pass the parcel....when the music stops whoever has the rod has to catch a fish. (use paperclips on the fish so they will stick to the magnet!) have a number on the fish which relates to a prize or have the prize written on the fish. (think easter show with the ducks!)

Quite good fun for littlies and for the older ones too....

Good Luck!

I am sorry I know this has been asked before but it wasn't relevant at the time.

I have a 1st birthday coming up in 2 months (OH MY GOSH)
I am going to have a fish theme. eg. Fish shaped cake, Fish cut sammies..(that is all I have though of so far)

I thought it would it be nice to do 1 game. I want it to be relevant for my son but also for the other kids, the ages are 1, 4,5,8,10,12 & 13 The only idea I can come up with is pass the parcel and rig it so the music stops on a particular person with their specific prize....

Any other suggestion that might be better than an old fashioned pass the parcel?
