What a fantastic list! I particularly love the outdoor activities, especially the scavenger hunt, with chalked circles. We did something similar at my birthday party once when I was a child, where we all had to find things to match colours we were given, and then arranged them all in rainbow order across the garden.(I would have rather played pass the parcel, mind you….so maybe not a good party-game!)
