My son had his 5th birthday earlier this year and I was determined not to "go with the flow" and either take him to mc donalds or pizza hut or the local play centre but I wanted to do it myself just like my mum had done for me. He had a fancy dress party in a small hall and we played;
Pass the parcel
pin the beak on the penguin
musical bumps
musical statues
and we had a pinata too.
We had a prize for pin the beak on the penguin,one for musical statues and one for musical bumps. For the pass the parcel I did the traditional game with easy forfeits which they loved doing and they each got a little sweet for doing it. I also encourage all the children to join in the others forfeits so there was no embarrassment.
We had music too so they could let off steam. I was actually congratulated by some of the parents the next day for doing such a good party as the the kids apparently had such a good time they spoke non stop about it.
Keep it traditional and have fun.
;-)

I don't know if she likes Blue's Clues but on my daughters birthday we did a huge thing of finding the paw prints and figure out the clues and get a prize. It was fun. I had all the notebooks and crayons for everyone.

treasure hunt, lemon in spoon race or go for passing the parcel- make the kids sit in a circle and give them a ball and some music. when the music starts they need to keep passing the ball and when the music stops whoever has the ball in their hands is out. they should be given a punishment like singing, dancing imitating something etc.

Have all the girls come dressed up in their mothers "dress up" clothes, highheels, hats, gloves, jewelery, etc. and have a tea party. Get cupcakes and let them decorate their own. Have watered down tea or decaf, warm and let them put milk and sugar in it. Make a piece of jewelery- a bead bracelet- let them do it and pick their own. Put it on elastic string. Take a picture of each of them to take home (if you have a home printer) or send it to them later. Play musical chairs, if you must. but if you plan it right, the girls will have a ball and you will have great pictures.

Hot and Cold Hide a toy or other prize in a room with one person absent and everyone else in on the deal. Bring in the absent one, and as he looks around, the crowd hums like bees -- louder when the seeker is looking in the right place, quietly or softly when he's not.
Hide and Seek Try the sardine version, where one person goes off to hide, and the rest stay behind. After a count of 100, everyone scatters to look. If you're one of the lookers, and if you find the hider, you have to squeeze into the same hiding spot and keep quiet. Ditto for the next one who finds the two of you, until everyone is squeezed into the one spot, and only one looker is left. A great opportunity for the giggles.
Sneaky Patty Gather everyone into a circle with a chair in the middle. Under the chair, put a teddy. On the chair, put the birthday child, wearing a blindfold. Turn on some music. One by one, the guests try to sneak up (hands and knees) to snatch the teddy away. The blindfolded child has to stay seated, but can flail around with her hands, trying for a blind tag. If she gets somebody, that child has to switch places with her.
No-Reading Treasure Hunt This treasure hunt works for pre-readers. On 10 individual 3x5 cards, draw pictures of 10 things from around your house and yard. Hide all the clues but one before the party. When it's time to play, gather the group around you. Hand out the first clue and away they go. (Example: If the first clue has a fridge drawn on it, they'll race off to the fridge where they'll find the clue with the welcome mat drawn on it. Then they'll race off to the welcome mat where they'll find the clue with the next item drawn on it.) The last clue, of course, has a picture of you on it. When the group finally gets back there, it's probably cupcake time. If you can't draw, cut out pictures from magazines or photo copy some snapshots.
Duck, Duck, Goose The kids will know the rules to this, but in case they're fuzzy... Make yourself "It" and walk around the outside of the circle, tapping each sitting child on the head and announcing "Duck" until you get to the chosen "Goose." The moment you say "Goose," take off running around the circle with the Goose in hot pursuit. If the Goose tags you (and let's hope he does) before you circle back to the empty spot, switch places with him and start a new round. On it goes; just make sure everyone gets a turn as Goose.
Crawl-Through-the-Hoops Game Put a couple of Hula Hoops on someone's arm, and have everyone join hands in a circle. The trick? Get one hoop around the circle going one direction and the other hoop going the opposite direction. But no fair letting go of hands! Squeeze, crawl, and shake your way through them.
Balloon Bouncing Everybody lies down in a circle. Try to keep a balloon up as long as possible. Start with five balloons and let the kids pop each one after it hits the ground. Hope this is enuf for you. Have fun........Flo

have a treasure hunt for all the kids. hide stuff around the house or yard and let the kids run around looking for it. get cheap little toys from the dollar store and let them try and find them.
