Plan backwards from the day

Two weeks out, send invitations. One week out, print decorations and games. The day before, set up the table. A simple timeline removes most of the stress.

Easy games kids love

Scavenger hunts, coloring contests, word searches and “find the difference” sheets keep a group busy with almost no setup.
