having an afternoon party for friends over xmas...how to entertain all their kids?

[Accrete3]

I am having about 30 people over, including about 12 kids, ranging from 6-11.

I'd love to get them upstairs into DS room and the attic where we can set things up for them...so we have enough room for adults downstairs.

Any suggestions for what I can set up games/entertainment wise to keep them occupied?

agree with rosetea.
my parents used to have a massive boxing day shindig. best day of the year . various ages and no one arranged anything. we were left to get on with it. plus santa had just been so house full of new stuff.
aaah..those were the days.

We have a few craft things out but nothing with glue or pens or scissors. (So a lot of stickers get bought off eBay!)

all good. I don't want to arrange stuff. Just make sure they amuse themselves. Thanks
