Free Party Ideas for kids

Last year, I organised my daughters birthday party and came across this site for games ideas.

Since it's that time of year again, and I am now am MSE member, I'd like to share it with you.

    Just some advice from my experience last year.

    plan loads of games, so that you don't run out of things to do.

    You can always drop a few games if they take longer than expected, but it's a little boring for the kids to wait 10 mins while someone thinks up the next game.

    Also, have a quiet game (like Sleeping Lions) at the end to help the adults recover from the noise.
