Girls 11

Little girls just are different to boys. They like more social rather than competitive games and don't enjoy getting wet and dirty quite as much as a boy if at all. If you are having a single gender party for your daughter here are some great games and entertainment ideas.

Divide the girls into two or three groups. Give them a list of articles to find. These articles can be outside - long leaf, round leaf, feather, stone, etc. Or inside - crayon, video, pillow, spoon, doll, etc. Depending on their ages have between 20 and 30 items on the list. This will keep them very busy. Another version is to tell each group to find items for each letter of the alphabet - apple, ball, comic book, etc. They can become very inventive.

Girls are natural information sharers.

Let them sit in a circle. Each girl has a number of beans or cocktail sticks. The party girl starts by saying "I have never ..." and names something she has never done. If any of the other girls have done this activity they give a bean or stick to her. The next girl to her right then repeats the phrase. Give them examples like - never seen Shrek, never danced with a boy, etc.
