6th Birthday Girl Party Ideas

[Mother Goose]

Dd's 6th birthday isn't until Feb but she is already planning it. We are hoping to move to a house with a yard and so this has formed her idea of what DH and I are calling a retro party. A party in the back yard and garage for her friends with the following games for them:

Egg and spoon race
Pin the tale on the donkey
Three legged races
Sack races
Pass the parcel
And statues

For food she has requested

Fruit platter
Mini hot dogs
Party pies
Sandwhiches
Potato chips

I'm happy to do this for her as she normally asks for a sport centre where they play racing games anyway. So I figure we'll do it at home!

Do you have space to accommodate kids inside in dodgy Victorian weather. Dd is a July birthday and I like at home parties but our house is not big enough. We got the gym bus one year as they can be entirely entertained and work off some energy. Not cheap but worth it to entertain a lot of kids if you have limited space.

We had a rainbow party for DD. Figured I could do stuff for boys and girls, though in the end she only wanted girls. I didn't do games this year. We had a craft for them and a jumping castle and they loved just playing with each other. We're lucky to have an enormous yard and outdoor weather almost all year though.

Are you on Pinterest? There's heaps of ideas on there.
