Activity Packs for older children

10 replies

BoogiemanSam · 14/06/2023 12:46

Wedding is soon so leaving everything very last minute. We have a few children attending the wedding and wanted to do activity packs for them to do things before the meal. We have the usual bubbles, colouring, stickers etc for the younger ones but have a few 10 year olds coming. Any idea in what to put in the packs for the older ones?

Colouring is still a good shout at age 10, word searches, “eye spy” for photo opportunities - if they have access to a phone/camera.
Have a look on Etsy for some inspiration

Ive ordered white iced biscuits from my cakemaker and bought icing pens, like mini felt tips sure they were £2.50 in Asda. Iced plain digestives would work too if you have the time of energy for it.

Are they sitting near each other? Maybe gift them a little game they can play together at the table (eg dobble, deck of cards etc).

Give them each a disposable camera

I got mini connect 4s and wooden noughts and crosses off Etsy, adult colouring books etc for the dinner table

Fidgets would be popular with that age group

Word searches/puzzles maybe some jokes? Fidget toys. They will still like the bubbles too.
To be honest though at that age just put some little sweets and that will keep them happy until the food comes.

Card games like dobble, happy families, avocado smash etc or travel games of connect 4/guess who. Or an activity sheet similar to the sort you get in pizza express with a wordsearch, crossword and drawing activity on it.
