Blow up some balloons and get them in 2 lines and tell them to pass them to each other BUT they are not allowed to use their hands.
Put a variety of foods in little bowls, don’t let them see them, blindfold them and get them to taste a little off each spoon and guess what it is, we do this at halloween but also at parties.

Sporty Games
One player writes out a secret list of 5 to 10 objects that can easily be found in a room, such as a bowl, a brush, and a bottle.
He then announces the number of objects he’s looking for, and the other family members have one minute to gather that same number of items.
If anyone brings an object that’s on the list, she gets a point. And, of course, players have to put their items away before the next round. Our testers especially liked varying the game by limiting the objects to things that begin with the same letter or are a certain shape.

Grab ‘n Go
Players begin by standing on their goal lines with the ball between them on the ground.
At “Go,” each tries either to grab the ball and run back to the line without being tagged or to tag the grabber. Either action scores a point. The game ends at an agreed-upon number of points.
