Great ideas.
Thank you for sharing. I am organizing a conference that the children of those attending do fun activities for two days.
Ages 6-18. A big span for sure.
I can see having a Harry Potter theme one day would be fun for the 6-12 age group. How would you adapt for 13-18 yr olds? If at all?
BritniV says
I think you could definitely use some of these games for the older age group as well – definitely lots of teens who love Harry Potter!
