DS is having a 5th birthday party at our house. For the first time we're getting the children dropped off (rather than have the parents and toddler siblings come too - we don't have room for them).
I am now wondering how on earth we'll entertain/control them in our relatively small house. DS (and all his boy friends) isn't interested in craft-type activities - what are good games to lay on apart from musical bumps/statues and pass the parcel? We're not having a theme as DS also hates dressing up. Probably about 8 boys and four girls. How would a treasure hunt work in a smallish space?
Also, is it best to lay out a table of food and let them graze, or to do each child a pre-selected box of stuff?
If you've been through this I'd be very grateful for tips!
