Yay, it was a success! Thanks for all of your ideas and support! Sharing best bits for anyone else having a similar panic!
The body pens I got from Amazon were a massive hit, we did each others arms with demon stripes, hair glitter & hair extension clips (Claire’s) and they found that so fun.
Personalised ramen pots filled with butter Capelli pasta - had to make seconds & they took pots home with them, with a pair of chopsticks. This was a big hit.
Played lots of musical games to sound track, they were going nuts by this point but it was worth it.
I put a spin on ‘wink murder’, so after some snacks we all sat down to ‘Takedown a Demon’ - took it in turns to be the demon hunter to try to catch out the demon. They LOVED this (and so did I) and we played loads of rounds with DH & DS joining in too.
I didn’t have time to organise a quest so I simply did the beano quiz on K-Pop Demon Hunters. They had to work as team and beat my score of 6 to when their prizes (keyrings)…of course these experts got 10/10 😂 It was a good little sit down amongst all the playing and running around.
Played K-Pop pose game (pick 2 dance poses from the film and show the kids how to copy) - when I say ‘K’ they had to pose with hands up in air above head, and when I say ‘pop’ they had to pose with them out in front together. I called out K or Pop and they had to do the right pose otherwise they were out. This was a real hit and they were sooooo good at it!
They also loved just free play, and being out in the garden on the climbing frame, so glad they had time for that too.
Got Korean and Japanese sweets and rice cakes and snacks from the Asian supermarket (literally for a qtr of the price of anything online). They liked the sweets and one of the girls was a fan of all of the snacky bits…but most of them tried things but weren’t as keen. Had other sweets treats, fruits and snacks as back up.
party bags pretty much made up from Home bargains. Got little paper craft bags and decorated with glitter gems and some of the K-pop stickers I ordered from amazon. Got the little paint set from Etsy which are lovely. Got gorgeous keyrings from Etsy as prizes.
