Entertaining children at birthday parties can be challenging sometimes when you have to cater to different ages. It's good to have a mix of activities and games that are appropriate for boys and girls with creative things that everyone can have fun participating in. Obviously there may be some ideas here that are specific to girls and other ideas that perhaps will mainly be enjoyed by the boys. There is a big age range between 5 and 10 year old's so you may have to get creative to entertain this group of kids. These ideas will be pretty generic but you can change them to suit any birthday party theme you might be having.
