Be the last not to let your balloon get burst. You require enough balloons and string for each person. Divide the group into two teams. Tie the balloons to everyone's ankles. Say "go" and watch the teams trying to burst the other team's balloons first. The team with the last balloon wins. As your balloon is burst you withdraw from the game.
A treasure hunt activity. Hide some small prize or sweets in the party room (or better still if the weather is good, hide them in the garden)before the children arrive. Whenever you decide during the party the children are allowed search the room or garden for the prize. You can give them hints by telling anyone who is close that they are hot while someone who is looking in the wrong place is cold! Whoever finds it keeps the prize.
The parcel is prepared before the guests arrive. It should consist of a main prize wrapped in several layers of paper. The children sit on the floor and pass the parcel around while music is being played. Once the music stops, the child who is holding the parcel may remove one layer of paper. The game continues until the last layer is removed and the prize is revealed.
Another variation of the game is to put a sweet between each layer so that even if a child doesn’t get to the prize when it is their turn they will still get a sweet. If the children are a little older it can be fun to make the kids try and unwrap the parcel using gloves – the ones without fingers. You only need one pair of gloves which should be given to the relevant child when the music stops.
Divide children into two or more teams. Team members stand one behind the other and each leader is given a balloon. The balloon is passed down the line by going over the leader's head to the next child who passes it through their legs to the next one who in turn passes it over their head. When it reaches the last child he/she runs around to the front and starts it off again. The game continues until the team leader ends up back at the front and the first team to finish is the winner.
You need at least 2 balloons for each child and enough "treats" for each balloon to have one . Treat ideas: rings, candy, mini balls, money anything small that will fit inside a balloon. Add the "treat" inside each balloon and blow up and tie.
Dump all the balloons on the floor and tell the children how many they may pop. The children must pop the balloons by sitting on them and bouncing. Alternatively pair off the children and tell them they must pop the balloons by putting the balloons between them (tummy to tummy or back to back) – no hands aloud.
Guess who the granny is by how they grunt. You need a blindfold and broomstick. All players stand in a circle except for "it". Choose one person to be "it" who is blindfolded and stands in the middle of the circle with a broom in hand. "It" tells all the players move, then tells them to stop. Then "it" spins around and sticks his/her broom handle out. The person nearest grabs it and "it" says "granny grunt". The person grunts and whoever is "it" tries to guess who the granny is. If the guess is correct, that person now becomes it in the middle.
Hang hula hoops from the ceiling by ropes and have players throw small footballs or frisbees through the hula hoops. You can mark off throwing levels or lines on the floor for various ages. Ages 2-6 can throw from 5 feet away. 6-12 from 10 feet etc. For the older participants you can even have the hula hoop swing back and forth as a moving target.
