5.0 out of 5 stars Great book, January 17, 2006

By	PartyMom (MN, USA) - See all my reviews

I bought this book hoping that it would have some fresh ideas for my kids' class parties instead of the same old games and crafts we've been doing it seems year after year. I was worried that even if it had new ideas they might be too invovled/time-consuming for the hour and a half we typically have for the whole party. I was pleasantly surprised that this book had so many ideas to choose from that were original and fit into our limited time frame. I highly recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Christmas Parties What Do I Do? Buy This Book!!, October 21, 2003

By	Jennifer Leavitt (Gabriels, NY United States) - See all my reviews

This book has Christmas Spirit on every page, with holiday games,crafts, and goodies from all around the world. It really brings out the child inside us all. With an added bonus of 13 pages for New Years Eve. I am a Parent and Day Care Provider, to me this book is as much a part of Christmas as the Tree.
