In my last blog I wrote about food, return gifts and the dress.In this blog I am trying to cover the rest of the aspect of the birthday party. Lets start with the games.
My little girl wanted to add paper dance in her party so that became our first game by default. The second game that we planned was 'taste and tell'. As the name suggest its a game to taste and tell about the item. Simple as it may sound but playing it with 13 girls is quite a challenging task. We had prepared 2 bowls of different food items for 2 groups including jaggery, boiled potato, tomatoes, gems, kiwi , apple, biscuits etc We divided the girls in to two groups and one group closed their eyes while the birthday girl went and fed one participant at a time. It was received very enthusiastically by the whole group.
The last game that was the star of the show was the donut eating race. We strung 4 donuts in a ribbon and kids were suppose to eat them, you guessed it, without touching it. Its a messy game so we had the whole floor covered with a a huge chart paper board we had created for our sons's chess party.(That post is also coming soon) Unfortunately we dont have a single photo of the games part as all the photos in the camera were blackened due to wrong camera setting. But the first picture on this page gives a pretty good idea about the game.
The birthday party decor. In my attempt to make birthday party more engaging, more environment friendly we also made the decorations at home. It was a simple decoration using ribbon, textured paper and store bought alphabets. Kids thoroughly enjoyed cutting the circles and pasting them on the ribbons. I colour co-ordinated the balloons and put up a bunch of 3 balloons (red,white and blue) in all the corners of the room. The room was looking very lively and ofcourse added the charm to the celebratory atmosphere.
The birthday party added to our very many fond memories of family life. Both kids look forward to their birthday celebrations at home and start counting months and days.
