ok guys, I am in a quandry. My past 5 parties have always been aimed at the under 10s. lots of cutsie decorations and plenty of silly party games...pass the parcel, dancing games, wrap the mummy, I'm sure you get the picture!
Well daughter is 11 now and starts High School this week so thinks she is 18
.
This means that the party is going to have to be different this year but I don't know how! The children we are inviting (about 10 -15 of them) are going to be too old for the "party" games but still need something "structured" to keep them occupied for 3 hours.
The theme is "Witches Wingding" so lots of Witchy type decor with a dose of Gothic thrown in for good measure. I have the decor & the food sorted but it is how to entertain them without them getting bored or running a mock!!
They all like spooky but not gory (I am sure that will come!).
I was thinking about a quiz but I don't want to make it feel like school! But that will only last for a while.
PLEASE has anyone got any ideas? I still have plenty of time to get things together but I am totally at a loss as to where to start.
Any suggestions?
