We are organising an "old-fashioned" birthday party for our twin grandchildren in May.They will be 6 and there will be both boys and girls present.Does anyone remember any of the games we or our children used to play? There are the obvious:musical chairs,statues and bumps,dead lions and pin the tail on the donkey but what about any others? Hopefully some could be outdoor games.And what about food? What did we like to eat apart from sausages and cheese and pineapple on sticks and jelly and ice-cream?Any thoughts on the subject would be most welcome.

Three games that we always play are 1, Wrap the Mummy, using toilet roll to wrap round your partner, if it breaks start again.2. Ding dong bell, tie one leg of a pair of tights round your waist with a ball hanging down in the other leg. Then try to knock down a range of items i.e lemonade bottle, smaller bottle, pile of Duplo and so on.Hands must be behind your back to swing the ball. 3. Dressing up. A row of hats, then scarves then gloves then skirts. First one all dressed wins.
have a lovely time.

Iced Diamonds and Play Box biscuits, if you can still get them. They were a staple at parties when I was small and my sister and I loathed them. I therefore started off not getting them for my children's parties - until they came home from other children's parties to tell me all about them, how they enjoyed them and please could they have them at their parties!
