PARTY GAMES Musical Sleeping Bags Set up everyone's rolled-up sleeping bags in a circle on the floor and play a lullaby. Have the kids walk around the circle carrying their stuffed animals. Remove one of the sleeping bags and explain that when you stop the music, everyone must quickly snuggle with their pet on one of the bags. Whoever can't find one is out of the game, but he or she can remove the next bag when the game resumes. Continue in this manner, allowing each child who's eliminated to remove the next bag until only one player, the winner, is left!

Popcorn Ask the kids to pretend that they are popcorn kernels and their sleeping bags are pans. While they kneel on the bags, bang the bottom of a real pot with a wooden spoon. When the kids hear a beat, they jump, and when it's silent, they sit still. As the game progresses, the popcorn pops faster and faster! Afterward, serve a big bowl of the real stuff for a treat. SNACKS AND FAVORS Serve a treat of animal crackers and milk and send the kids home with new toothbrushes and storybooks.
