Pass the parcel, balloon races, statues, tie a donut to string to the clothes line and with their hands behind their backs they have to eat the donut, the list goes on. Let them have races, red light green light - all children are cars, trucks buses etc, and when you call out green light they have to drive around red light they stop. Can be lots of fun, and you don't even have to run it as a last one to stop is out sort of thing either they just love playing it. Throw in a yellow light occassionally or an emergency vehicle siren so they all have to move to the side etc. Just make it up as you go along.

Ah keep it simple and traditional in my view. Musical chairs (use cushions), musical statues, pin the tail on the donkey (use blue tac). Pass the parcel, most kids love that one, stick a sweet between each wrapping, so the littlies are not bored or feel dissapointed. You could get some A4 size envelopes and have them decorate there own party bags with crayons, even two yr old will have a go. Bake some fairy cakes and get them to decorate them, oh the list goes on. Hunt the popcorn, put dry popcorn around the house or garden and the child/team with most at the whistle are the winners. Wrap the Mummie, two teams, two Mummies, and the kids have to wrap the Mummies in head to toe in toilet roll. Best wishes and I am sure the community will come up with better ones.
