PARTY GAMES WITH FOOD
As the guests are leaving and the burden is lifted off your shoulders don’t fall at the last hurdle. It is vary easy to go through the motions when organising the party bags. Put a little effort into preparing the party bags, it will be well rewarded.
So what have party bags got to do with games and activities. In this post I will be explaining some games that are based around food. When deciding on the contents of the party bags you should also consider using food. The obvious choice is sweets but you can go one step further and include cupcakes and individual slices of the birthday cake.
Now back to the party games
1. Chocolate Fancy Dress
This game is a real hit with kids. Gather the children around in a circle and in the centre place an unwrapped bar of chocolate on a plate with a knife and fork. Around the plate scatter a scarf, hat, jumper and a dice. The guests roll the dice until someone gets a six at which point they put on all the cloths and and try to eat the bar of chocolate with the knife and fork. The rest of the children continue to roll the dice until a another six is thrown at which point the guests swap clothing and the game continues.
2. Doughnut Chasing
Suspend a doughnut from a piece of string and get the children to try and eat a whole doughnut without licking their lips. It’s a lot harder than it seems.
3. Flour castle
This game can get a bit messy but it is well worth it. Before the party build a castle made of tightly packed flour. I find a small flowerpot good for this. It is a little like building a sandcastle, except with flour. I would also recommend that you build it on a baking tray or something similar as the castle will evetually fall and it helps when the flour dosn’t go everywhere.
Once the castle is built place a biscuit on top. The idea of the game is for each guest to take a slice off the castle until it falls.
The games above are easy to set up and I think the part that appeals most to children is the use of food. If you have any other ideas for party games or would like to know more about party bags and how to organise them please just post a comment.
