Ask each guest to draw a sticker and that way they are sorted into the houses. Unfortunately our hat couldn’t sing and talk (!!), so we printed stickers for each house and kept them in the hat. It is a bit messy to do anything papier-mâché with smaller kids, but also really fun and creative. See this post on how to make your own with (or without) the kids. We made a papier-mâché Sorting Hat (or actually 2!) to help us sort the party guests into their houses.

We had 8 lessons (games) in total, so it was a jam-packed party but somehow I didn’t hear anyone complain. It fits right into the Harry Potter theme and was ever so much fun to make -and for the kids to be apart of. We planned the Harry Potter Party Games as lessons at Hogwarts.
