Party Games for a 4year old

[OnlyFoolsnMothers]

Daughters birthday party this weekend, have a bouncy castle booked but as with U.K. weather it’s likely to piss it down. I need a few games we can do inside the house to occupy 5-7 4yr olds.
I have a piñata and a pass the parcel- bring me all your other party game ideas pls

Musical statues, sleeping lions, dance competition. Pin the tail on the donkey (or a variation eg I did pin the wand on the fairy once - drew large fairy on back of some wrapping paper, pinned on wall, made cardboard wand)
Some indoor crafts/art activities - have a look at Baker Ross website if there's time, or the Works?

If you've bought bits for party bags, you could hide them around the house (depending on size of house) and turn it into a treasure hunt.

Buy The Floor is Lava - your kid can keep it once the party is over and the kids will
Have a wail of a time.

Tie a piece of string horizontally and tie different lengths off it vertically so they hang down and tie donuts to the end. Kids have to try and eat to the donut with their hands behind their backs and/or blindfolded.

Hilarious. Tasty. Easy to clean up (providing you don't get the filled ones)

Thought of this and then decided I don’t really want kids rummaging round the house

Do they risk slipping?

I’ve managed to get a pin the tail on the mermaid following this suggestion- thanks!

Hope it goes well!

Thank you- bloody U.K. weather, think you’d be safe with an august baby!

Without a doubt, my favourite game. Play with adults too

If they like Frozen, split into 2 teams and get two adult volunteers. Play "Do you wanna build a snowman" and get the kids to wrap the volunteers in toilet paper to make Olaf.

Little ones love it! small gift/chocolate for the fastest team.

So so brilliant!

Paper plates - like musical chairs but less arguments . Have a number of paper plates equal to the number of players, one has a picture on the underneath. When the music stops everyone sits on a plate the one on the picture is out. Remove a undecorated plate each time. There's no argument as it's clear who is out.
I've played this with many ages up to early teens (at guides) and it goes down well.

Yep doing this!

They are four so games where they are out are not so easy for them.

How about musical statues where you reward the best statue each time and they all get a prize.
