DD's 6th birthday is coming up and it's our first time planning a whole class party - not sure of numbers yet but prob. low twenties, with a mix of boys and girls.
We're doing it in a dance place where we get the space for two hours. First hour is a dance 'class' with an instructor, involving warm-up games and generally throwing themselves about to music. Then we do the food (provided by me) and then ... this is where I'm not exactly sure what happens.
What do people usually do - would you plan something to focus their attention on for the last, say, 20 mins?
Also, in case any of the kids aren't into the dance bit for whatever reason, or in case there are siblings at a loose end around the edges of the space, I wondered about having some sort of supplementary side activity like face painting; which could then be picked up again at the end I suppose. We might be able to do it ourselves if it's expensive to hire someone; ex-DP is v good with a paintbrush. But I'm not sure if it would just end up being a distraction from the dance class, and make the whole thing feel a bit muddled.
Getting into an overthinking spiral!
