Theater Party

If your child is "dramatic", consider a theatre party. Take guests to see a play put on by a local children's theater or create a theater at your home with the guests performing a play or puppet show for their parents. Some children's entertainers will bring costumes, props, and scripts and coach children to perform a play.
