Blindfold games

Monday, May 3rd, 2010

It was when the entertainment for my kids party did a no show that i realised that I was going to have to make some pretty quick decisions as not to ruin my sons special day. Luckily we had lots of food but it was the games that we were short of. I quickly made a pass the parcel but the it was one of the other mums that enquired if I had any blindfolds. My immediate response was no, but then I realised that we had some eye masks fom when we went to New York the year before. They had been provided free on the plane. I say free, they were probably the most expensive eye masks you could buy as I had to buy a plane ticket to get them! Anyhow, they were perfect for some games. We cobbled together a pinata and then played some old classics like pin the tale on the donkey. There are some great websites with blindfold games described on them. In the end the children started to make up their own games and the parents supervised with a bottle of red. It made me think more about providing our own entertainment at next years. Any ideas anyone?
