Birthday party games for 11 year old?

FrugalFranny

Bit late in the day sorry! but if you have a few spare old hats around (one less than party guests present is great) you could play "musical hats". It's the same as "musical chairs" but you sit in a circle and use an array of spare/silly hats. I still have pictures off myself wearing a Fez and my brother in a big floppy sun hat lol
Bare in mind that it can get rather heated and the hats shouldn't be ones you treasure with all the yanking/pulling that usually happens.
Also 'pass the parcel' is great fun, small treats/sweeties in each layer make for eager players with a random/strange/unexpectedly odd prize in the middle. Just newspaper, tape, a hand full of sweets and something from the pound shop (cheap necklace/charm/ring, paper weight, snow globe...etc) in he middle.
Pin the tail on the donkey/cat, if outside and you have a garden you could have an 'egg and spoon' race (or bat and ball for less mess lol).

This post has brought back some memories!
