Find Your Partner
Great for pairing up children at the beginning of a party, and for breaking
the ice when kids don't know each other well as everyone has an excuse to
approach other people and start talking.
Age: 7 and up
You will need:
Pieces of paper onto which you have written well-known partners
Safety pins
Write up your pieces of paper well in advance, choosing well known partners
that will be recognised by the children. For example:
Micky Mouse and Minnie Mouse
Batman and Robin
Anthony and Cleopatra
Torville and Dean
Mary Kate and Ashleigh
Prince Charles and Princess Diana
Charlie Brown and Snoopy
When the kids have arrived, pin a name to their backs. At your signal, the
children mingle with the other guests, asking questions about themselves which
can only be answered by a "yes" or a "no".
"Am I alive?"
"Am I a film star?"
"Am I male?"
While trying to guess who they are, they should also be looking out for their
possible partner.
Younger kids may need an adult to give the odd clue or two along the way!
For Valentine's Day:
Write the names on pink hearts and make sure that the partners you choose are
famous "lovers".
