[quote=Anonymous]My 9 yo daughter came home from a shy friend's playdate and loved it. Her mom had put together a scavenger hunt where they followed clues around the house. Then they baked. It was a bit more parent-led than may be typical at this age, but it avoids the problem that the guest is bored (and may not want to come again?). I wouldn't think you'd want to do this the full time, but maybe it breaks the ice? A structured-something-unusual, and then set them up to do the next activity, themselves? And maybe have some idea in your back pocket in case things don't seem to be going well... (You see a theme in these responses that involves baking-- partly it's a fun activity, and partly because 10 year olds love EATING. They'd never go home from a cookie decorating playdate saying they didn't have a fun time!)[/quote]
