## Resource

Kids’ birthday parties are evolving fast—classic games like wink murder and blind man’s bluff are fading fast, with only 16% of kids aged 6-11 even trying them. Instead, bouncy castles, hired entertainers, and movie marathons are trending, while video games like Minecraft dominate with 38% of kids diving in. Parents are scrambling to keep up, but kids are brutally honest: old games are boring, cringe, or just have bad names. Still, hide and seek, pass the parcel, and musical chairs hold strong—games that feel fun, offer prizes, and include everyone. Capri-Sun’s new party pack aims to revive simple, stress-free fun, reminding parents that kids care more about the vibe than the details. The challenge? Balancing what kids want with what’s easy to pull off—because memorable moments don’t have to be complicated. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
