Party Games for All Ages

Can anyone think of party games suitable for everyone aged from 1 year old to mid 70s?

Grandmother's footsteps (with an actual grandmother)
Pass the parcel.

Anything else?
I'm loathe to play musical chairs - as that is my regimental Mess game and usually descends to a scrum and punch up - which is too violent for 1 year olds.

We are having a triple generation party, DD is turning 1, I am turning 36 and my DM is turning 69, all on the same weekend.

The chocolate game? Put a big bar of unwrapped chilled choc on a plate with a knife and fork, and a hat, scarf and gloves alongside. Everyone sits in a circle and takes it in turns to throw the dice. If a person throws a 6 they have to put on the hat, scarf and gloves and then use the knife and fork only to cut small square of choc and eat. No touching choc with hands. Keep the dice going round the whole time and when someone else throws a 6 they quickly take over. Usually gets quite frantic and fun and suitable for all ages.

I fear that using a knife and fork whilst wearing gloves is going to be a bit beyond my 1 year old.
She can manage tearing wrapping paper and toddling up and down a room whilst hitting granny though.

Musical statues could be worth a try.

Not sure your one year old will be able to participate in most games that will entertain the older ones. Entertain the majority and let your little one join in if and how they can

Thanks for the pin the tail on the whatever suggestion. I'm going to use one of my brother's paintings. Could be hilarious.

Musical statues instead of musical chairs

Free play area with toys for the little ones as they are too young to join in structured games.

Craft table with pencils, stickers, card etc.

Give everybody a party crown to decorate & then give prizes for the best one from the three generational age bracket.

Mummy wrapping - divide into pairs/teams and buy lots of toilet aper
