On behalf of my Children's centre creche leader, does anybody know any good games they can play at their Christmas pary bearing in mind the age range will be up to five years and there may be quite a lot of different children? What's good at occupying them games wise without over exciting them? Many thanks xx

musical bumps is always good. pin tail on the donkey - maybe???. "hide" some sparkly stars around the room and get them to find them or alternate with large santa/snowmen toys?

musical bumps / statues
sleeping reindeer ( just the xmas version of sleeping lions!)
the bean game - actions to go with all the different beans - broad , string , runner, jelly , jumping etc

ohhh..... good ideas there, thank you x
Any more?

some cool ideas here

Brilliant - I'll pass that on. Thank you

Four corners - each corner of the room has a different Christmas picture. When the music stops everyone has to chose a corner, if their picture is picked out, all the children in that corner are out. Good for a large group.
