Answer 1

Duck,Duck,Goose

Red Light Green Light

Musical Chairs

Simon Says

Doors & Windows

Here, kids form a circle holding their hands. Then they would spread out enough that everyone's arms were straight out, to form large spaces between kids. These were the windows and doors. Then one child would start running, and weaving in and out between children. As they did this the kids in the circle would randomly drop their arms down trying to touch or trap the person weaving their way in and out. Once the person was caught or touched by the arms of someone, they were out. They would then choose which person would be next to weave in and out of the windows and doors

Big Foot Relay.

Have the children bring two shoeboxes with them. Tape the lids onto the boxes, then cut a one-inch-wide and four-inch long slit in each top. Have the contestants slip their feet into the slits in the boxes and race

Batty Bowling.

Find a number of silly or odd items that can be knocked over by a ball, such as a plastic milk carton, a candlestick, a stand-up doll, a plastic vase of flowers, a pizza box, a tower of empty cans, an umbrella stand, an empty oatmeal container, and a book. Line them up like bowling pins and let the bowlers try to knock them over with volleyballs, tennis balls, or golf balls.

Answer 4

well i just went to a band party and the game i like the most might not be the greatest for 5 year olds but they had four long pieces of wood drilled four holes on each one. put strings in the holes and had one team of four on each two pieces of wood and u had two try to get to the end where the cone was and the winner could get candy or something. other games that bean bag game water ballon fights water ballon toss or something like twister.
