Dress-up Relay

Pile some old clothes at the starting line and then divide guests into two or three groups. Place groups so that the first player from each group stands at the starting line, and all subsequent players stand 5 metres apart behind him or her. At "go", the first player has to put on 5 items from the pile and then race to the second player on the team. The first player then removes the clothes. The second player puts them on and races to the third player, etc. The last player has to run back to the start and remove the clothes. First team to finish is the winner.

Barnyard Bedlam

Secretly assign each child to be a farm animal (pig, sheep, cow, etc.). Depending on the size of the group there should be 2-3 children for each animal. No one is allowed to tell what animal they've been assigned. At your signal (yelling Barnyard Bedlam), each child has to make the sound of the animal they've been assigned and then try to find the other children who've been given the same animal, using only their animal sounds. The first group to find each other is the winner.

Musical Hats

Collect a bunch of different hats - from neighbours, relatives, used clothing stores or a dollar store - and place them on the floor, in a circle. Children walk in a circle around the hats while music plays putting on a hat when it stops. The child left without a hat is out of the game. Remove one hat from the circle. Continue playing until there is only one hat left. The first one to grab the last hat is the winner.
