This can be really good but you will need to plan ahead.  Wrap a pass the parcel.  Try not to use newspaper or put too many layers on it.  A pin the tail on the donkey is also a great idea.  May be even musical chairs.

Have more games planned than you need so that you know you won’t run out of things to do.  Try not to let children stray away from the entertainment.  Encourage everybody to join in.

I will make future postings with tips on how to play the above games to make them more personal.  As ever please let me know your thoughts.
