For my sons 8th b-day I was totally out of ideas, plus it was raining. I ran to the grocery store and bought rolls and rolls of freezer paper and washable markers. I then covered the walls of my sons room completely, from floor to ceiling with the freezer paper, handed over the markers and told them to get busy. They had a blast. I used a small stapeler to apply the paper to the wall, you could not see the holes after the paper was removed. My son left up his "murial" untill his next b-day, he liked it so well. They drew pictures, signed their names and wrote happy birthday everywhere. I have since removed all the artwork, rolled it up and put it in storage, awaiting the day they graduate from high school when I can throw them a graduation party with the artwork as a decoration and a reminder of how sweet they USED to be.

Lots of games pin the tail on the donkey, pass the parcel with something for everyone who opens a layer of course, a treause hunt, make it a fancy dress or theme party "pirates" seems to be the in thing at the moment.find a childrens entertainer some are fairly cheap and good look on yell.com for those in your area the ballon makers are usually a good bet. Dancing with latest music or party dances depending on age. A good video that no one has seen if desperate(leave in reserve). Bouncy castle depending on age. Children can be easily entertained it is how they are made welcome that counts ask the birthday person what would they like. Have fun oh and paracetamol for mom after.

Always keep it simple and you will keep children entertained,anything too extravagant will bore them.Depending on the age group you could create simple contests with a number of rounds and have prizes for the winner of each, then after a few competitions you could have a final round and give a grand prize. But be sure to keep it simple enough so that each child has a equal chance to win and for those that dont win still give them a token of some sort for participation.
