I second the idea of a party book. Even if you don't feel like doing one now you shoudl definitly save your stuff for a book in the future. I'd sign up for my copy already today!Karahttp://www.karaw.com/blogg/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4540761711646097949.post-75936255582277207212014-10-04T07:55:19.714-05:002014-10-04T07:55:19.714-05:00It is amazing!

I was creating parties like this for my daughters 15-17 years ago.... probably I need to start it again for my grades 3-4 now.I keep this idea many years but do not have somebody special who push me in to. My be you are)))) Thanks a lot, I will link it in my blog.MIlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01326876828917802689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4540761711646097949.post-61236743273129364972014-10-04T07:14:31.855-05:002014-10-04T07:14:31.855-05:00Great party idea.

Had a Tintin clued treasure hunt. Daughter thought it was fantastic but most of her friends hadn't read the books or really even heard of Tintin (pre-movie era), so spent most of the time wandering vaguely around or asking me for the answers. Daughter was in her element with her group racing around following the trail. We even had a coded message at the end too! Don't throw away your templates. I can see a kids party book coming on ; )Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4540761711646097949.post-77742027393579587982014-10-04T05:10:43.308-05:002014-10-04T05:10:43.308-05:00My last ultra ambitious party was loosely based on...My last ultra ambitious party was loosely based on your last one - it was book themed, but as it took place totally in one room, the 'treasure hunt' took place among four posters on the walls featuring various animals reading books. The clues were partly in a little copy each guest had and included basic crossword, word search and the like, and partly on the posters - the relevant square was identified by alphabet and numbers, like in maps, and the first letter of the animal name and the number on its book led to the second clue and so on. Sadly the clue verses left them all baffled (and not at all impressed by the cleverness of it). And we had had so much fun planning it too! Just one drawback when you guide your kids to an intellectual level bit higher than their peers, isn't it? As a guided classroom activity, it'd be so much better!Swatihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17173996390154408845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4540761711646097949.post-10844434653145127932014-10-03T11:44:39.455-05:002014-10-03T11:44:39.455-05:00We recently had a short 8-year-old party, too.

Not being as organized as you are, I racked my brains and finally came up with a couple of games. But, when the (mostly older) guests arrived, said 8-year-old took charge and led them in a game that, I believe, he made up on the spot. I'm really not sure what they were doing, but it took up the allotted time, and I think the guests enjoyed it. <br /><br />Precocious kids are a hoot, aren't they?~T~https://www.blogger.com/profile/17969562036638831748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4540761711646097949.post-68606265871363150792014-10-03T08:30:50.647-05:002014-10-03T08:30:50.647-05:00Despite a few things that didn't seem to work ...Despite a few things that didn't seem to work so well, it was an amazingly well-thought-out party, and no doubt the kids had all kinds of fun! So you learned a few things in the process... and so did the kids!
