    Come up with fun games and activities for everyone to enjoy, like Twister, volleyball, tag, painting, coloring or dancing- keep in mind that all of the children there might not want to do just one thing and they may all not want to do the same thing.

    Be sure you have plenty of caffeine-free beverages; yes there is still sugar in most soda, but it won't be nearly as bad if you gauge the caffeine and sugar intake. Most importantly; don't be the health nut. These are kids- they want to eat junk food and run around on a sugar high; just be sure that what they're eating is a little more healthy for them- 86 the carrot sticks and celery stalks. Remember to be the cool parent or adult and play with them; let them know that they are big kids too.

EditTips

  • Don't yell at the children, be more of a friend like voice and tell them that what they're doing is not a good idea; unless they're trying to set fire to the house or tent.
  • Don't go with the bare minimum - these are kids, they do everything in excess.
  • Don't forget to make sure that each child knows how to get to the bathroom, kitchen, or even to you if they really need you after everyone falls asleep.

EditWarnings

  • Children may become excessively hyper and unruly and annoying - do your best to stay calm or run around with them until they cant do it anymore.

EditThings You'll Need

  • Snacks
  • Soda
  • Paper Plates
  • Plastic Cups
