    My favourite game growing up was pass the present. You buy a bunch of little dollar store type gifts and one 'nicer' gift (feel free to only spend $5) then you wrap the nicer gift several times with newspaper, placing the small little gifts between every few layers of paper. Depending on how many kids there are, wrap the present in about 15-20 layers. Have the kids sit in a circle and play some music. Have the kids pass the present until the music stops then the kid who has the present gets to unwrap one layer. Some kids will get a small gift and one kid will get the big gift. It's a lot of fun because not all layers contain something.

    Another great game is Blind Drawing. You give each kid a piece of paper and a crayon and they have to draw a picture of the birthday girl behind their back in 1 minutes. The best drawing wins a prize.

    Buy an inexpensive tarp and paint circles of different sizes on it with colorful paint, and write a number (between 0 and 100) in each. Have 50 be the smallest circle, and have the kids throw beanbags down, using the 50 as the main target. Depending if the kids are hyper or not, you can play the "What Do You Want To Be When You're 50 Game". It's roaring fun. Give them each 5 slips of paper and a marker. Have them write where they want to be living when they're 50 on one, how many kids (if any) on another, what job they want on the third, what kind of apartment or house they want on the fourth, and let them make up a category for the fifth. Sort them all by category (with the fifth being Miscellaneous) into 5 big hat/bucket/Halloween Trick-or-Treating container, and mix them up! Call somebody's name and pull one slip out of each bucket, and read it out. Let the kids be goofy! (Who didn't want to live on Pluto and be President of the Universe and live in a castle made of chocolate and ice cream when we were 6?!?!) Have fun!!!

    Treasure Hunt is always a great idea if you have a little garden where you can hide little presents around in pots ect. ensure there is enough presents for each child and once they find one they can help others. It was always great fun for me!!

    Another game i always loved was musical statues or musical chairs and the winner would get a little prize?!

    This game doesnt have any prizes but is always gud to make them a lil tired. Its called duck, duck, goose. they basically chase each other round in a circle, one is a duck and chooses a goose from the circle the children are sitting in! make sure there is enough space and its always better to have it on grass in case of any falls?!

    Well hope she enjoys her birthday and Happy Birthday to her :D
