Part game ideas

Hello, I will have 10-15 6/8 year olds at my house for a party 😅. We have a party entertainer booked for 45mins to 1 hours and after that will have cake and food. However it’s a 2 hour party so I’m worried we may have 20 mins or so where the kids are looking for something to do, or some kids may not be interested in the entertainment so I’m looking for other activities that I can set up. If it’s a fine day it’s easy - I can pop games on the lawn. But the weather were we live is unpredictable so need inside activity ideas too, preferably ones the kids can do mostly on their own so not pass the pass the parcel or anything. The only idea I have so far is setting up a pin the tail on the donkey type game with their names ready to go, so they can have a try at that. Any other ideas?

Musical chairs
Musical bumps
Musical statues
Sleeping lions
Blindman's buff
The farmer's in his den
The hokey cokey

That should easily fill 20 minutes
