merlotgran Many thanks for the suggestions.What exactly is Kick the Can ? We do have a reasonable sized garden and hope to get outside for some of the time.My cousin makes delicious cheese straws.I will get her busy

Pass the Parcel was always popular and Kick the Can if you are outside - much more fun than ordinary hide and seek but you need a garden with lots of hiding places.

Chocolate krispies made with cornflakes are easy to make and we used to have cheese straws and small sandwiches. smile

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.
