Free Easter Party Games and Activities
posted by: admin in Entertainment on 10 24th, 2009 | | No Comments »

Looking around for Easter party games and activities? Well there are plenty of kid’s games that you can find on the web and in party planning books. However you may wish to simply alter a few popular games to fit with the theme of the Easter party.

Remember Pin the Tail on the Donkey? That old game you used to play as a child. You can give it an update by modifying it for Easter. Instead of a donkey draw a picture of the Easter Bunny holding an empty basket. Then have the kids create their own Easter egg out of construction paper, glitter, markers and any other decoration you have on hand. Then play a fun game of Pin the Easter Eggs in the Basket. Of course you can use tape to fix the eggs to the paper. The children that actually manage to tape an egg to the basket get a plastic egg of their own filled with special treats.

Egg runs are lots of fun at outdoor parties. And both kids and adults can participate in these. Have a bunch of boiled and dyed eggs on hand and spoons. The guests can divide into teams of two and each member on the team gets a spoon and each team gets one egg. Have the members of the teams station themselves about twenty or so feet apart and one member of the team balances the egg on their spoon. At the start of the egg run the members of the teams have to ‘run’ their egg to the other member of the team, without dropping it. If they drop their eggs they have to go back to their starting place and begin again. When they reach their team member they carefully trade off the eggs and the other member must begin carrying the egg back to the beginning. If they drop an egg they have to back to the halfway point and start over again. The first team to complete the egg run is the winners.

A bid by Sir Elton John to prevent the Daily Mail publishing a photograph of him walking with his driver from his car to his London home was rejected by the High Court. If Sir Elton had been successful in obtaining this injunction, it would have completely revolutionised British newspaper and magazine practice.

Sir Elton had his picture taken by a freelance photographer whilst walking from his Rolls Royce to the front gate of his West London home. He then heard that the Daily Mail was planning to publish the picture, and he applied for an injunction to prevent publication on the ground that it was an unwarranted infringement of his privacy. The picture merely showed him casually dressed, but he complained that it showed his baldness was returning.

In his application, Sir Elton argued that the photo in question, which was surreptitiously acquired, was taken without consent, made no contribution to any matter of public interest, and its publication would be a breach of the Press Complaints Commission code. He supported his bid with the decision in the European Court of Human Rights case of Von Hannover v Germany [2004] ECHR, which involved Princess Caroline of Monaco. It was held in this case that her right to a private family life had been violated by sustained paparazzi photography of her and her children.

Another case which sheds light on this situation is Campbell v MGN, which involved the supermodel Naomi Campbell. The House of Lords awarded her damages and compensation against the Mirror for breach of confidence in relation to the publication of photographs of her outside a Narcotics Anonymous meeting. It was stressed, however, that the activity photographed must be private. With reference to Naomi Campbell, Lady Hale said:

“Readers will obviously be interested to see how she looks if and when she pops out to the shops for a bottle of milk. There is nothing essentially private about that information nor can it be expected to damage her private life. It may not be a high order of freedom of speech but there is nothing to justify interfering with it.”

Sir Elton’s case is the first case where the inconsistency between Von Hannover v Germany and Campbell v MGN has been highlighted before the court. The question in this case was:

Did Sir Elton have a reasonable expectation of privacy in respect of the information in the photographs and, if he did, did his right to ‘respect for his privacy’ outweigh the ‘right to freedom of expression’?

Sir Elton’s application for an injunction was rejected by the High Court on the grounds that the photograph, which the Daily Mail subsequently published, did not convey any private information which could, for instance, call into question Sir Elton’s health or his sexual relationships.

Comment: The court also highlighted the fact that the Princess Caroline case involved an element of harassment from the photographers which caused suffering as she went about her daily business. This factor was lacking in Sir Elton’s application. This decision for Sir Elton means that where a celebrity’s photograph is taken in a public place, his/her lack of consent cannot prevent its publication. There would have to be a special element to make the court consider the issue of privacy.
