challenge, especially for people who can’t keep a straight face.
Players have to sit in a circle (on chairs if necessary), facing each
other. The player who starts says “ha!”, the next player in the circle
says “ha ha!”, the third player says “ha ha ha!” and so on around the
circle. As soon as someone says the wrong number of “ha”s, or starts
laughing, they have to leave the circle. Once a player leaves the
circle, they have to try and make the rest of the players laugh or make a
mistake. The person who makes a mistake or laughs last is the winner.

in this game. Their task is to gather as many peas as possible. The
peas (about 15 pieces) are thrown about the room (hall). There are 2
chairs with the little buckets on them. The players gather the balls

baskets.

sits in a circle except one who is given a pillow and blind-fold.
They then go and place the pillow on a persons lap, sit on it and
say ducky ducky. The person should say "quack quack" this can be

Place
party shapes on the floor in a circle. For example if your theme is
Knights the shapes could be shields, swords, and castles. Children
walk around circle while listening to music. If the music is loud
the children move fast. If the music is quiet the children move
slow. If the music stops, the children stop on the closest shape.
Young children like to play it this way.
To make it more challenging for older children have 1 less shape than
the number of children. Continue remove shapes as the children are
'out'.

shoe lace, spoon, toy car, etc.) and cover with a cloth. Sit everyone
in a circle. Place the tray in the middle of the circle and remove
the cloth for 60 seconds. Everyone has to remember the objects. When
the time is up, replace the cloth. In turn, each person has to name an
object on the tray. The first person to fail to name an object, repeat
an object or name something not on the tray is out. The tray is then
removed and some or all of the objects replaced, and the game
re-started with the person following the one who is out. If the game
is too easy for the group, add more objects or reduce the time.
