A practical, illustrated handbook for children that explains how to plan and host simple parties with little or no help from adults. It covers invitations, assembling supplies and dress-up items, tableware and decorations, and recipes for easy refreshments, then provides dozens of themed programs—sandwich and candy pulls, sewing bees, doll entertainments, holiday and seasonal teas, indoor picnics, and culturally inspired gatherings—plus games, songs, and small take-home favors. Emphasis is on orderly preparation, tidy cleanup, and cheerful, creative presentation so young hosts can entertain and amuse their friends independently.
This is a game which makes plenty of noise. Send one child from the room and choose some proverb, such as “A stitch in time saves nine.” Give each player one word of the proverb and call the “outsider” in. When he gives the signal you must each say your word, altogether. If he doesn’t guess from the noise what the proverb is, you must repeat it twice more for him. If he can’t guess then, he must go out again, and you choose another proverb.
