What about a toy/lolly hunt? You could "hide" them in the garden for littlies to find?

It has to be pretty easy and quick for this age group i find. They do not have the best attention spans and don't really like to take turns (or miss out).
Could have outdoor games like races, or throw horseshoes onto a bullseye, obstacle course etc. Dancing contest, statues maybe but prob half of them won't get the idea to stop.

We do pass the parcel, treasure hunt and a version of pin the tail but to match the theme of the party.

Hey they seem to love ring 'o rosies. Lots of giggles when they fall down.

what about simple old red light green light, not really a "party" game but they love it.
Is it terrible that one night we entertained a group of kids from DD being the youngest at 18mths - 4 with a lazer pointer running round the yard trying to catch it?

Musical chairs or any game which creates loosers are usually a no go! Even my 5 year old stuggles at the concept of being out. I learnt very quickly that statues/musical chairs etc were not going to end well with a group of 5 year olds.
Games like pin (or blue tack) the tail, pass the parcel, or treasure hunts are good. But then really they get just as much fun out of freely dancing and running around in circles :P
