We always give DS big traditonal home parties. Last year we had ten children and their mum/dad and we also hired a clown in addition to doing the usual pass the parcel, statues, pinata etc. His birthday is always a special time and DS gets mega excited during the preparations.
This year I let slip to him that I was thinking of doing a superhero party and DS now has his heart set on one. It is do-able. I'll just insert the word "top secret" in front of the usual games - so pass the "top secret" parcel, "top secret" whispers, the pinata could be an evil mutant donkey and so on and so on. DS and I were making masks the other day and I thought this might be a good activity to engage the children in if I prepared the masks and bits to stick on them in advance, plus I could make a couple of capes for those who don't have costumes.
Having whizzed through Google I have found a few good ideas BUT DS's birthday is in October and a lot of the ideas were for outside - can anyone suggest more inside super heroey things to do? Or do you think my ideas above are enough for four year olds - being dressed up might be sufficiently stimulating for them to make up their own games. I could even leave a box of props for them to do their own thing couldn't I?
Any ideas anyone?
