MYSTERY PARTY!! This party would be good for older kids (11-13yrs). Make up a mystery that the kids need to solve and hide clues around the house in different areas that the kids need to find.
Separate the kids into groups of 3 or 4 and send them off with the first clue. Each clue should rhyme and give hints as to where to find the next clue. When all of the clues have been found,
the group that finds the clues and "solves" the mystery wins! They should all get special prizes.
