Party game to end the party...

[FusionChefGeoff]

Got a group of Reception age kids and will have done lots of high energy games so looking for something a bit quieter to round it all off - pass the parcel?? Or will that just be a huge anti climax for the kids that don't win??

Any ideas for a game that is then a clear signal after that it's the end?!

I think anything where they gradually get 'eliminated' with a token prize, eg lollipop or chocolate coin works, eg pass the parcel or even a dance off /musical statues . They focus on the prize and not the party and you can wind things up.

Pass the parcel. You're in charge, everyone gets something.

Dead lions

I've prepared a pass the parcel!! Well, 2 actually so there's enough for everyone without it taking for ever. Do you ask kids who have already unwrapped to leave the circle or just pass it on if lands with them again??

Yeah sleeping lions

I would then move to the food, and then have parents come and collect them as they are finishing the food.

Pinata where they all have to put their shoes on then line up to hit it

With pass the parcel, I think you need to leave them sitting down or the game will fall apart very quickly. Just remember who has had it before!
