The rest sit in a circle. Isabelle makes it before Linda can tag her, so now Linda gets to be the tapper. Each player writes a song onto a card and adds it to a bowl. Take turns choosing a song from the bowl and trying to play it with the instrument given. Gabriel chooses a cowbell as his instrument. Break up the children into two equal teams and have them stand in a line. One end of the line has a bucket and the other has a measuring cup. All of the children are given empty paper cups.

The children then attempt to pass the water from the bucket down the line to the measuring cup. The team that transfers the most wins. Team 1 and Team 2 begin transferring the water from the bucket side to the measuring side. Team 1 spills a lot in their transfers, and Team 2 wins. All children begin dancing when the music is playing, but when the music is turned off by the judge they must freeze in place. The judge determines who was still moving and eliminates those children.

The last player standing wins! Dad turns the music on and all the kids start dancing. He stops the music abruptly and the children freeze. Little Jamie is caught doing an extra dance move after the music has stopped, so he is out!

Have everyone write the name of an object or famous person on pieces of paper and then mix them all together. Break into two teams. The artist cannot talk or write words or letters. His teammates guess it correctly so he moves onto the next clue. They repeat until the one minute is up. All players wear hats throughout the evening - pass them out at the beginning of the night.

Whoever still has the hat on loses! Taylor is the hat woman. During the night, Uncle Jimmy is in the middle of a story and Taylor discreetly takes her hat off. Most people see her and take their hat off. Only Uncle Jimmy is left because he does not notice. He loses. The players sitting in the circle pass a ball to each other. No player can hold the ball for more than a second.

All children are sitting in a circle, except for Susie. She is standing with her eyes closed. The sitting children are throwing the ball to each other, being careful not to hold it for more than a second.

Then Susie yells "Hot Potato! She is out! Hand out ice cubes to everyone. When the game starts, players can try everything they can to melt the ice cube quicker than their opponents. They can rub it between their hands or on their shirt, or blow on it.

Whoever melts it first wins! No cheating you cannot put it in your mouth or stomp on it or use equipment to melt it.

John is given an icecube. At the start of the game he blows hot air on the ice cube with his mouth to try to melt it. He does it faster than anyone else and wins. Two children sit on opposite sides of a table on their knees with their arms behind their back.

A ping pong ball is placed in the middle of the table. Gregory and Allison are at separate ends of the table. The ping pong ball is placed in the middle and the judge signals to start blowing. Allison Wins! Set slices of cake on plates around the table in front of each child. When the game starts all children begin to eat the cake using only their mouth and keeping their hands behind their back. Cameron has a piece of cake in front of him.

The game starts and he works to eat the piece of cake using only his mouth. He is able to finish the entire piece before everyone else, so he wins. Each person grabs a blank card and writes one thing they love and one thing they hate. Then, shuffle the cards and redistribute. Each player takes guesses at who wrote the card they received. After everyone writes down their dislike and likes on a card and then shuffles and redistributes, Caroline chooses to read first.

Caroline chooses Vince, while Eric and Stefanie think it was Fred. It was Vince! Have two people hold opposite ends of a pole. Players take turns trying to walk under the pole by leaning backwards. Each round the pole gets slightly lower. Julissa is trying to walk under the pole. She leans backwards so that she can make it under. Unfortunately she hits the pole with her forehead so she is out. Next Sherry tries to make it under the pole and does so without touching it or falling so she gets to move onto the next round.

Give each team one roll of toilet paper. Whichever team finishes their roll of toilet paper first is the winner. Vince is chosen to be the mummy. His team hurries to wrap him up in toilet paper.

They finish their roll before the other team, therefore they are the winners! Set up chairs so that there is one less chair than there are number of players. Children are instructed to walk in a circle around the chairs as music plays.

When the music stops, the children must sit in a seat. Whoever is without a seat is out. Each round you take away a chair until there is only one player left! Four kids are walking around a group of three chairs. When the music stops, Jim tries to get to a chair but Timmy, Alice, and Trevor sit in seats before he can get to one. Jim is out. The game continues until there is only one person left sitting.

Assign one person to start the game. They add a sentence, continuing the story. This continues until the last person gets to write a sentence to finish the story.

Then you read the mashup story aloud. The host of the party announces a forbidden word at the start of a party, and then hands out a beaded necklace to every player.

Anytime a guest catches another guest saying that word, they must give up their necklace. Whoever has the most necklaces at the end of the party wins! The party host, Liz, determines the word at her party is "cute".

In her first conversation with Susie, Susie says the word "cute". Liz catches her and Susie has to give up her necklace. Players hold an orange between their chin and neck. They then attempt to pass an orange from one player to another without using their hands. Fred is holding the orange between his neck and chin.

He positions his body sideways so that Cindy can grab the orange with her neck and chin. They drop the orange so they lose. Start by placing assorted items into a brown paper bag without the children seeing. Try everyday objects like candy, fruit, toothpicks, or Q tips. Each child then takes turns feeling into the bag and guessing what the objects are.

Whoever guesses the most wins. Frank feels inside the bag and thinks he is feeling a toothbrush, sunglasses, and rubber band. Susan then goes and thinks she feels a hairbrush, sunglasses and string. Frank was correct, so he wins! Everyone links arms facing outward. Players try to get the prize while still keeping their arms linked in the circle. Five friends link arms facing outward. Tape the image of a donkey without a tail onto the wall. The tail that is closest wins!

Mom tapes a donkey to the far wall in the room. She gives little Susan a tail cut-out and blindfolds her. Susan then slowly tries to tape the tail to the correct spot on the donkey. Then her friend Zoe attempts the same. Zoe is closest so she wins! One person the psychiatrist leaves the room. Everyone remaining agrees to impersonate someone else in the room. This must be done in a pattern. Then the psychiatrist comes back in and asks everyone questions which they answer as if they are the person they are impersonating and tries to figures out the pattern.

Greg leaves the room. Everyone else in the room decides that they will impersonate the person to their left.

Greg comes back and asks the first person what color hair they have, or what their age is. This helps Greg figure out the pattern and win the game. One adult or child is appointed traffic guard. They stand at the finish line.

Everyone else starts at the starting line. Whoever crosses the finish line wins. Franklin is the traffic guard. Everyone sits around a rubber chicken. Players take turns trying to make at least one person laugh using only the rubber chicken as a prop. They only have one minute to do this. Susie wins. All contestants hold an egg in a spoon and wait at the starting line. Then, they race to the finish line. Whoever can cross the finish line first without breaking the egg is the winner.

James and his friends all receive spoons and eggs. James drops his egg but it does not break, so he picks it up with his spoon and continues to the finish line, narrowly beating out his friends.

We played three games at Jenna's baking party.

The first was a pass-the-parcel variation, involving a series of small gifts rolled into a ball with paper streamers. You can read about the original idea here. I saw it and loved it, and went shopping for toys to make ours.

We wanted the kids to have some nice toys they could actually play with, even if they weren't baking-related, so we picked things like Playmobil, Hexbugs, Squinkies, Mighty Beanz, flashlights and craft items.

Interestingly, pass-the-parcel is a very well-known game in Singapore, but there, it often involved "forfeits" rather than gifts. Each layer of the parcel had written on it, a task that might require the player to sing a silly song, perform an acrobatic feat, or something worse.

The last layer of the parcel had no task and it unwrapped to reveal the actual gift, which the lucky player could then keep. I never understood why these awful tasks were called "forfeits" - perhaps because they resulted in players forfeiting their composure or otherwise losing in a way that was opposite to gaining a prize. I dunno.

The second game was a team one involving cookie cutters - because we have so many of them in our house! One of the big challenges of doing parties has always been to make them enjoyable for kids of a range of ages.

Kate, for instance, may secretly think she's a first-grader, but she really isn't and we wanted games that would be fun for 3-year-olds as well as their 8-year-old friends. For this game, we counted out our cookie cutters, divided them into two equal batches, and traced the outlines of each batch on a big sheet of paper.
