I am having a birthday party at the park for my DD who is turning 5. We will be away for her actual birthday but wanted to have a little party for her with a few of her little friends.

It is just a morning tea thing. We will have a few games (pass the parcel and a treasure hunt). The rest of the time they can all just go crazy at the park.

I thought I could take some fruit and make some pikelets, fairy bread, chocolate ripple biscuit sandwiches (with marshmallows melted inside), there could be a few lollies and some chips.

I was also going to make a banana/date loaf and some scones for the parents.

I will also have water and some cordial/juice for them to drink.

Anyone else got any ideas on what to take or what other games I could play.

Being at the park I cannot take everything and wont have everything I have at home.

Just after a few ideas.

sounds like you've got everything. I wouldn't do any more. you can always (if you feel the need on the day) play chasy/hideandseek/duck duck goose. etc....

Take a soccer ball and make some goals from witches hats or something similar

Is there a kids playground there as well? Try and get a table close to that

Sounds like fun! Fairy bread - YUM! A proper birthday party!

Don't forget to mention to the other parents to bring chairs and blankets if there won't be enough seating
