[quote=Anonymous]You say yourself the kids are fine one on one. I think you had a group situation that got out of control and the kids got swept up in it. My kids know to listen to adults, throw their things away, and act respectfully. However, I’ve heard tales of parties where everyone started throwing cheese balls around and they got in on the action and thought it was all great fun (there’s one particular sleepover I still hear about years later that I can only imagine was hell for the parents; I think I’m still hearing about it bc it was such a departure from how kid usually interacts with the world and he thinks of it as best.time.ever). I’ve hosted enough parties where I’m well aware that too many kids without enough structure is a recipe for disaster. I think PP is right that at 8-9 you either need highly structured party games with an adult leading (and adult is willing to firmly step in and say “stop spitting out your food or dinner is over”), a venue where kids can go crazy (yard party or trampoline park), or a much smaller group of kids.
