If the weather is nice enough a nice balloon game is always fun. Depending on how many kids there are put them in teams, 3-4 per team is good.
Have them line up each with a blown up balloon (get some helpful adults to blow these up when they arrive and stick them in a garbage bag until the games begin). You can use different colors for each team if you want but you don't have to.
Stand about 30-40 ft from them and have them run to you and try to pop their balloons. Sit on them, step on them, whatever as long as they pop them and then run back to tag the next person in line. The winning team pops all their balloons and makes it back to their team first. Have an adult stand with them to see who the winner is, if the race is close.
Pin the tail on the donkey is good for this age. Or something similar, there are many different variations of this game.
Use play doh and whisper to each of them the type of animal they should try to make with their play doh. Line up the play doh animals and have the kids try to guess what each one is. Winners get a prize.

How can I organize a treasure hunt for a birthday party?
