We're having a VE day party next week. We'll be having a street party - and need some games or activities to keep the children interested. This will be a whole school activity - although FS/KS1 will have their party together and KS2 on their own due to space problems (unless it rains and then we'll be in the hall )

So far we've thought of playing music from the war years - Glenn Miller, Vera Lynn and playing some simple party games - team games with passing the ball through the legs etc. But would be really grateful if anyone has any other ideas.

Have you thought of inviting a truck load of GI'? Won't keep the children amused but would certainly entertain staff
on a serious note: Giant musical chairs, either class by class or year by year and then a play off; shooting penalties; old fashioned games corner, marbles, jacks, pick up sticks; communal singing (need a guider or scouter for list of ideas), in fact a guider or scouter would probably have hundreds of ideas that a) work and are popular with children today. So I'll shut up. Let me know if you do call the Americans in.
