sack races
September 29th, 2009 | Author: My Party File
Sack races are an oldie but a goodie! And don’t despair if you don’t have a pile of hessian sacks lying around - you can use the eco fabric shopping bags as an alternative. The kids can climb into the bags and hold onto the handles, or you can cut the base off of a bag and sew it to the top of another. Much cheaper than making them from scratch.
Hold sack races as a stand alone game, or use the sacks to tie in with other games. For example, at the dinosaur party, I read a letter to the kids telling them we needed to go on a dinosaur hunt, but the only way to get there was with “dino” sacks. The kids were only too keen to climb into the sacks and jump their way to the imaginary destination! This is a good way to eliminate the winning/losing scenario that younger kids don’t always deal with too well!
Sacks can even become cocoons for a butterfly party or mermaid tails for a mermaid party!

mad mummies party game
August 3rd, 2009 | Author: my party file
Be the first team to wrap up your mummy in a game that uses more toilet paper than a toilet training two year old. Put together your guests in small teams of 3 or 4 and give each team a toilet roll. Get them to wrap one of their team members and give the first team to complete the challenge a prize.
The kids will love it!
