what is the "theme" of the party? we have done pin the tail on the Donkey variations (pin the nose on Elmo, pin the badge on Woody), If you have a good sized driveway or patio, set them loose with sidewalk chalk, bubbles are always a hit with little ones that age.

When my son turned 3, I blew up maybe 15 balloons and put a piece of paper inside (index card size) rolled up small, with a number on it. The kids had to sit on/pop the balloons. The person who found the number "3" (because the bday boy was turning 3yrs) was the winner. In hindsight I wish I'd put two or three 3s in balloons instead of just one 3. That way there was a first place, second place, etc. But all kids could participate and all kids in attendance knew their numbers 0-9, so it was very easy.

My son just turned 4 and he didn't want to play this year, but I did consider having pictures of superheroes in each balloon (instead of numbers) and having kids find one particular superhero or maybe making a board where they had to work together to pop the balloons, get the superhero picture, and then match it up with the superhero's name. I guess if I'd have done that it wouldn't have been quite a 'game' where there's a winner, but an activity none-the-less!

My kids love Musical Chairs and Limbo...anything with music and movement is great for kids in that range!

Sardines. Basically, it's backwards hide-and-seek. One person goes and hides, and the rest go find him independently. When a child finds them, they get into the hiding place WITH them! Kids keep packing in until all the kids are in the hiding spot together. It's HARD not to laugh.

Freeze dance is something they can all do. When the music stops they all have to freeze.
