Fun and Gamez Party

Fun and Games can be held indoors or outdoors. The location steers the games. The staff will build the party with the most ideal party games to the environment. They can be held at your home (lounge rooms and garages can make great party rooms), in a park or open space or a hired hall. If you need help finding a hall to hire in your area, we recommend trying Scouts Australia as your first step. You can find a link to their website on our Links page. If they can’t help you can try calling the office and we might know of something in your area

A few suggestions to help your party run smoother.

1. Limit the numbers, ask parents not to bring uninvited siblings along and not to hang around for the party if possible. Party numbers are normally small enough if kept limited to the suggested party capacities you will limit exposure.
2. Do food packs – instead of a large bowl of chips, have mini packs. Separate named drink bottles, pre ordered food plates so the kids just take what is given instead of it being from communal platters. Cupcakes instead of whole cakes.
3. Kids will be asked to wash up before the party starts, before the break and after the break and before the cake.
4. Remind all parents if your child is feeling ill or showing symptoms of any of the 1000 germs kids carry to please keep them home and a play date will be orgainsed to make up for them missing the party in the future.
5. Try and practice some sense of social distancing. An energetic outdoor party will keep the kids from being static. Indoors can still work but keep in mind your numbers that you are inviting.

We can generally adapt ourselves to most locations but this party does require a bit of space. Give us what you can and we’ll figure the rest.

We request that you don’t hand out any noise making party favours or party poppers until after the disco has finished. While our hosts are very capable, competing with a large group of kids all blowing whistles and popping streamers to be heard is a big ask for anyone

For our Fun and Games parties we have a limit of 30 participating guests. This is for a number of reasons, including the number of children who can safely be supervised, the amount of equipment provided and the pace at which the games are played. In some cases we can cater for additional guests but this will need to be discussed with the office at time of booking as it often requires the booking of two full party kits and hosts. We do recommend keeping your guest list to the 30 limit if at all possible as our party has been structured to be at its best with these numbers.

5-12 years is our ideal age group.
