Party games for 10 year olds?

Dd is taking 8 friends to the leisure centre where they're going to do trampolining. Part of the deal is we get a room for an hour afterwards. We'll have some food, but then they want games
They're mixed girls and boys, not girlygirly and up for a laugh, ie we won't get eyes rolling when we say "Party games!" unless we bring out pass the parcel! They like the chocolate game, but unless I want them all totally sick I think we need to do something else as well. Any ideas anyone?

how about the drawing game? split into 2 teams, have a list of things to draw. 1 person from ach team gets given first thing (or start one form top of list and one from bottom) . Draw thing - normal Pictionary rules apply. As soon as someone from team guesses, they run to the leader of the game, say what it is, and get next thing to draw. It is a race, first team to guess all things on list wins - can have an adult or 2 on each team to help prevent cheating if liked. Can make list as easy or hard as you like. Very little preparation too

No prob Posey - it is a family favourite played at our 5 yearly family reunions! I enjoy it as a 30 something!

also how about who am I - provide each person with a post it, tghey write down name of a famous person/character. Each gets stuck to the forehead of someone else, and each person has to find out who they are by asking questions to the group that can only be abswered by a yes/no answer. there can be lots of conversation going on at once. Variation is to prepare post its in advance, in pairs, so Laurel and Hardy, or Ant and Dec for example, and the idea is to find out who you are, and then find your pair.

Maybe we should forget the trampolining and just play games, these are great

Mummy wrap - they get into pairs and each pair is given an economy toilet roll. They have a set time to turn one of each pair into the best wrapped mummy. They love this game (we have to play it every year at dd2's party, whatever the theme!) and they love shredding up the loo roll afterwards and then flinging it around the room. I worry a bit at the waste of paper though, so if you're wanting to be environmentally friendly, it may not be the best game!

Fab! They did that once at a school disco and loved it.
