Birthday party ideas whilst in lockdown

[pooopypants]

Oh hivemind of MN, please give me ideas for a stay at home birthday party for a 6 year old? (For a friend, she's currently flapping). Birthday child would usually get the choice of an activity of their choice and then where to eat (pizza hut etc) but obviously that's off the table this time.

I've already suggested pass the parcel, musical statues, loads of bunting and music etc. It'll be 4 DC altogether, ranging from 4 to 9 in age.

Sleepover - films, pizza, popcorn, sweets, all bed down in the living room. Maybe make some tents/a den with sheets.

Traditional party - pin the tail on the donkey, pass the parcel etc. sandwiches, jelly and ice-cream.

Treasure hunt - hide clues round the house and garden and prize at the end. Could theme it if child has a particular favourite.

Pamper party - nail varnish, hair glitter, maybe some mocktails,

Tea party - everyone puts their Sunday best on, bunting and tablecloth, little sandwiches with tea and scones and cakes etc.

Disco - lights, music, crisps and fizzy pop. Maybe some glow sticks if you can get hold of them.

Sports day/activity party - set up assault course in the house or garden, sack race, egg and spoon, beat the goalie, shot put/javelin, plastic medals for everyone.

Squeak piggy squeak game
Adults should play too
Seats , armchairs or hard, put round in a circle, the one who is It has a blindfold and a cushion. Everyone else sits down, It is turned round 3 times then has to use the cushion to find a lap to sit on, then puts cushion on lap and sits on it and demands 'squeak piggy squeak' of the person sat on. They squeak/squeal/ snort and It has to guess who they are.

Ring on a string. Stand in a circle (adults too) make string into a circle big enough so someone can stand in the middle. A ring is slipped onto the string before tying it. Then everyone can grip it with two hands, knuckles upwards plus a bit to spare. Everyone moves their hands to and fro along the string but one person is secretly hiding the ring, and then, when the middle person's back is turned, sliding it onto the next person. Middle person to guess who has the ring.

All ages can play these.

The sitters change seats after middle person is blindfolded in above game

We are organising a camping party for our dd, we have the BBQ ready, fire pit out. We have marshmallows and sausages, and she will sleep in the tent in the garden with her sister overnight if it is warm enough. I have hung fair lights outside and we will wrap up warm.

I have also ordered extra presents, helium and balloons, what I can't provide in entertainment I can offer in terms of decorations. I intend to go overboard with the decorations to make her feel special.

Do they a game or activity they can put on the tv for everyone to join in like a karaoke machine or a dance mat (I assume you can still get these, I had one when I was at school but that was a good few years ago!)
