We will be celebrating our 5th Gotcha Day on November 19th. Our son has chosen to have a party and invite three friends. I am wondering if anyone has any ideas for activities? Our son and his friends are all five years old. I did find some cute Russian crafts to do, but I'm not sure what else to do. We'll have cake and ice cream, but I thought there should be some other activity. I'd love to hear what other people have done.

Thanks, Jenn

Here's a game kids that age might enjoy--you need to hang several long pieces of twine from a clothes line or beam of some kind. Tie a donut onto the end of each piece of twine. Have the kids clasp their hands behind their backs and then try to eat one of the donuts--using only their mouths. The child who eats the most of their donut without it falling off the string wins a prize.

And of course, kids always like Pin the Tail on the Donkey... you could "Russianize" it by changing the donkey to a Russian bear or something like that.
