A house full of kids is a difficult situation to control.
Kids party ideas are priceless in entertaining children for hours.
With anything and everything from team games to treasure hunts, bouncy castles and pin the tail on the donkey.
Here you will find a substantial list of ideas guaranteed to keep the kids entertained.
Treasure Hunt Kids love sweets and presents.
They also love games.
Therefore combining the two always proves to be a great success with children of various ages.
Solving problems along the way and discovering new clues will hold their attention and the thrill of receiving a prize at the end.
You can always adapt the game with time limits and teams to make it more interesting.
Pin the Tail on the Donkey Pin the tail on the donkey is a classic game thats easy to understand and fun to watch as well as play.
Watch the children all squeal with delight as they watch their friends grow ever closer to pinning the tail on the donkey! Whoever gets closest should be rewarded some how, usually in the form of prizes or sweets.
This makes the game more exciting and gives an incentive for the kids to all join in.
The games can be made yourself with some cardboard and some crayons, however you can buy the sets at newsagents, supermarkets and of course at party supplies shops! The Chocolate Game Another fantastic game for kids, but should probably be more appropriate for kids at about 5 or 6, when they\'re starting to understand dice, and numbers a bit better.
What you\'re going to need: * A block of chocolate.
Plain Cadbury is usually the best.
* One die * A plastic knife and fork.
(Avoid real cutlery, to avoid real accidents, if the children are a bit older and can be trusted with stronger cutlery, then by all means use a real knife and fork).
* Some dress ups.
Usually about 4 items, try finding an old hat, a tshirt, some shorts and some socks.
The sillier the garment, the funnier it tends to be for the kids.
Encourage the kids to sit in a circle, then place the dress ups in the middle, as well as the block of chocolate on a plate with the plastic knife and fork.
The rules are: * The number 6 is a magic number.
The die gets passed around in a clockwise position, each child rolling the die once.
If they get the number 6, they then have to jump up and put on all the dress ups, and start cutting away and eating the chocolate with the knife and fork.
They can't use their hands, and must keep using the cutlery! * They can't start cutting again until they've finished the piece of chocolate they've already eaten.
They are able to keep eating the chocolate until the next person rolls a 6.
* Then, they must quickly take off all their dress ups and hand them to the next person to dress up in.
* The game keeps on going until the chocolate is gone.
Just by odds alone, there isn't going to be a vast amount of chocolate consumed by the kids, especially if there are 6 or more participants within the game.

Giving each child something to remember the party by and keep them entertained on their way home is a great way to make sure that all the kids leave with a smile on their face.
It can be a very simple bag, for example a few packs of sweets, party poppers, a couple of small toys and birthday cake! Bouncy Castle Hiring a bouncy castle is usually a full days entertainment for a kids party.
Hours of fun are always had by children when a bouncy castle is involved.
Hiring a bouncy castle can start from as little as £50 for the day.
However be aware not to leave the children unsupervised on the bouncy castle at any time.
There are few games that can be played on a bouncy castle, however for children the entertainment and fun factor come from simply bouncing into the air.
All of the ideas above are just a few games and suggestions, all of which will assist you in running a successful kids party for a birthday or another occasion.
