Indoor party games (in case it rains!!!)

[sweetiesue]

Having a panic about ds's birthday party on Sunday. Weather will either be good (according to Metcheck) or chucking it down with rain (bbc and met office). We have hired a bouncy castle and inflatable slide for the garden but will have to cancel if weather is bad (have until Saturday to do this). Basically I need some ideas for indoor party games to suit 15 children ranging in age from 3 to 6. Have had already planned to do Pass the Parcel a couple of times but have had a complete brain freeze about any others. Thanks and all suggestions greatly appreciated.

Had a party for similar ages last weekend (with same weather worries). Baked lots of different shaped biscuits, set out with mini icing tubes, bowls of coloured icing, decorations and that kept everyone entertained for quite a while. Did a treasure hunt (ended up being outdoors but could have been moved to inside easily), had a craft table with colouring in sheets, glitter pens etc. Hope you have a good time!

Those suggestions sound really good. A craft activity is always a winner and great for a bit of calm down time. I love these craft kits for childrens parties and you can also try little crafty bugs but they are a bit more expensive. Have fun!
