My 9yr old daughter is getting her first pair of glasses tomorrow. We moved here about a year ago and my smart, sweet, sensitive girl has had some difficulty fitting in. I am naturally concerned that her new look might be the cause of insensitive remarks etc. I would like to curtail it so I have invited her class to come over tomorrow for a glasses party for about a half hour. I could use some help with ideas of games or fun activities for the event so far I have pull n peel candy for them to design their own funny glasses. I could also print out some paper glasses that they can decorate. I would love some game ideas.. maybe like guessing the top ten reasons for glasses or something like that. I'm in a time crunch and I really need this to be fun and cool. Can anyone help?

You could do a "pin the glasses on the face" game (like pin the tail on the donkey but with a face and glasses).

Thank you so much for all of your helpful replies especially those of you who posted links!! We had the party tonight and it was very nice. We used some optical illusions, made funny glasses, played marco polo but with the leader saying glasses and everyone else saying I can see. We ended the party with colorful Popsicles. Thanks to all of you for your help!
