Daughter's first birthday party?????

Question

Its my daughters 1st bday party in the 13th and she is having a huge party...there will be about 18 kids there ranging from 11 to 1 i am wondering if i should organise party games??? I have asked a few people and they have said no but i worry about the other kids being bored especially the older ones....what do you think???

Answer 1

I didn't.

I made up party packs, and had an arts table for them to amuse themselves on. We even had them painting singlets.

I did have a Piñata and a things like that. They have room to run around and everything here. Wasn't too concerned.

You could put a DVD on for them to watch too.

Answer 2

just put on music that all kids would love to dance to and mess around with... kids are easily pleased. i think it would b to much trouble trying to organise games as the younger children wouldnt understands... perhaps make a little compatition of fancy dress or something like that. as long as there is party food and music then it will be fab... oh and kids enjoy watching the birthday child opening their presants... that could take at least half an hour so think of that as a game :D

hope the party goes well :)

Answer 3

We do big parties every year for our children & always organise party games. Sometimes the kids love it & all join in, sometimes none of them are interested! Plan some anyway then if the kids look bored or are getting up to mischief you can use them!!

Answer 4

Hi!

I had my son Tylers 5th birthday party a few weekends ago. We had 19 kids all up and I had arranged all these party games to keep them occupied. Well, we only ended up playing 2, and not all the kids played them either. They were way too busy running around our back yard playing on the trampoline, in the cubby house and on all the other stuff.

So I would definitely say, save the time and money and dont worry about it!!

Have a great party!!

Answer 5

the old favourites like pin the tail on the donkey, musical chairs, pinata, kids love all that even 11 year olds and they are not hard games to organise. Get the older kids to hide small treats in the garden for the younger ones to find....stuff like that. Have fun.

Answer 6

Congrats on your baby girl turning 1!!!! My little on is 1 on friday!!!! We had her party last weekend and it was great. We had 45 guests and 10 children ranging in age 1 to 10. I got some tennis balls and blocks and just let them play outside. They kept themselves amused!!! The kids will have a great time!!

Enjoy it!

Answer 7

With that wide age range i would not worry about putting together gams per say/ Make sure that you have arts and crafts type things to do for the kids. Coloring books and stuff like that for the kids that are like 4 and up it might keep them busy if they atart to get board.

Good luck and enjoy your daughters big day!!

Answer 8

A pinata is always fun. It's hilarious to watch the 2 and 3 yr olds try to hit it. just watch out, they might take your head off instead.I like the craft idea, make it simple!
