While everyone is in "Red Light" mode, give them instructions to follow when you yell "Green Light".
Things to do:
Pretend to fly like a bird
Roll Around on the floor
Bounce on your behind then back to your feet
Do somersaults on the floor.
Bounce on your knees then back to your feet
Pretend you are popcorn, bouncing around until you POP
Flag Tag
Get a roll of streamers and tear 1 foot lengths off of it. Tuck one end of each streamer into each child's waistband then turn them loose!
The goal is to collect as many other children's streamers while protecting your own. When your streamer is pulled, you have to get out (or sit down).
The winner is the last child still wearing a streamer!
Number Switch
Have the children number off. Make sure they remember their numbers! Then, have them scramble and sit in a circle. Have the birthday child stand in the middle of the circle.
The birthday child then calls out 2 numbers. The children with those two numbers have to get up and trade spots while the birthday child tries to beat them to one of the spots.
The person left standing calls out 2 more numbers and tries to beat those children to a seat.
This one is good because it required minimal supervision and has most of the children resting (and rolling around during the action).
