With apologies for Sean for turning this into mumsnet...

My eldest is turning 8 at the weekend and we have organised a village hall, lots of friends type party for her.

It has dawned on me that pass the parcel and 'run around like a lunatic popping balloons' isn't going to keep them occupied for an hour and half though so...

what party games do you remember most fondly from your misspent youths? What do you reckon would get a bunch of hyperactive 8 year olds excited?
