How many games?

[WyfOfBathe]

DD is turning 6 next month and she wants a "tea party". We're inviting 10 children for 1.5 hours.

I've got an easy craft for the first 15 minutes as people arrive & the last 30 minutes is the birthday tea.

In the middle there is 45 minutes for games. I'm thinking of doing traditional children's party games (musical bumps, pass the parcel, etc) but I have no idea how many games I need to plan - it's the first time I've organised this type of party!

The key is to have lots you can do 'impromtu' to fill a few more minutes, but that you haven't put lots of effort into and won't be concerned if you don't do them - so things like 'Musical.....' (Statues / bumps / corners / colours / animals) etc.etc.

For 45 mins I'd have 6 to 8 games ready.
