*There are so many to choose from

Have a Bubble Blast:
Sometimes you can find bubble machines that make bubbles without you huffy and puffing through the bubble maker. If you can afford it, you may can even find a bubble business in your area that will bring the bubbles of fun.


Build a tower for a King/Queen:
Gather lots of building blocks and allow the kids to knock the blocks down.  You can even build multiple tower of blocks and have the kids run through a maze.  For the this game you can use blocks or lego's.


Memorable baby art:
This could get a little messy.  You can have each child make a handprint with paint on a cup, a plate, or paper. 


Pool party:
Not all kids like the water around this age, but a nice kiddy pool would be safe for kids around this age


Nothing but net:
You will need a basketball goal, and it does not have to be anything fancy.  This could be a small goal tape to a fence, a wall, or something hard the goal will tape to.  If you have a little money to spend you can buy a basketball goal from a toy store.  The goal is for each child to score a point.  You should try to divide the kids up into teams and you may need the parents help to walk or run each child to the goal.  The first team to have all kids shoot their ball in the goal wins.  You can give each child a ball to score with or you can have the child make the basket and then give the ball to the next child.  It may be easier to have each child have a ball of their own.

Limbo:
This game is not just for grown ups. For your Limbo stick you can use tied up ribbon, a broom stick, a swimming pool float stick, or anything that will have these kids doing the limbo.


Freeze and Dance:
Put together a CD with your kid's favorite song. You can also buy CD's from Amazon.com. They are pretty cheap, here's a few. But what you want to do is play music for the kids and have them dance to it. When you press the pause button they have to freeze.


Cake Walk:
For this game you will need ten pieces of paper ( or more)
 and write a number going 1-10 on each piece of paper.
You will need to match the number of papers with the number of
 kids. While the music is playing have each kid step on the paper
 going around in a circle. Play the music for 1-3 minutes or shorter,
 and when you place the music on pause, each child needs to be
 on a number. What ever number is drawn or selected the child 
standing on that number wins.
