party games please

[mackerel]

Need to fill an hour or so at my DD's 5th princess b'day party. Musical bumps, statues etc and pass the parcel and pin the tiara on the princess already on the list.Looking for a couple more good fun straightforward games. we have 12 invitees plus my 3DDs and my older DS. Aaagh! what have i done. It's at home too.....please inspire me. running short on ideas this year. thanks.

I have the perfect solution. Why not host a princess treasure hunt? You can buy a kit online to make organising it really easy. I can recommend the following website they also have a free colour in princess palace and print and decorate you own tiaras for just 99p

I've tried all sorts of party games and children are more enthusiastic about treasure hunts than anything else.

Have Fun!

How about a Princess memory game. Show them a tray full of princessy objects (- tiara, ring, comb etc) for two mins. Take the tray away and they have to draw (or write?) what they have seen.

If you have a printer with your computer this site is great for printing pictures www.coloring.ws/fairies1.htm for colouring in or you could buy some packs of glittery bits and bobs and some paste for them to stick on to the pics. The whole site is brilliant for all themes of pictures; there are games and puzzles too.
