outdoor and indoor games for 3year olds - help!

[millsa]

Can anyone suggest games for a bunch of 3-year-olds that can be played in a garden/park? Something that will involve about ten of them, both boys and girls, possibly with prizes/a prize but not necessarily. Need ideas asap. Thanks!

and indoors: apart from 'pass the parcel', what else can you suggest for a birthday party? thanks!

It's a song. One of the children is 'the farmer', all the others go round in a circle singing

The farmer's in his den,

The farmer's in his den,

E I, E I the farmer's in his den.

The farmer wants a wife,

The farmer wants a wife,

E I E I the farmer wants a wife

The child 'farmer' picks another child from the ring to be the 'wife'

Then continue singing

The wife wants a child,

the wife wants a child

E I E I the wife wants a child.

Wife picks child

The child wants a dog etc

CHild picks dog

The dog wants a bone etc

Dog picks bone

we all pat the dog etc

everybody pats the dog.

Very simple, and I don't really understand the attraction, but my 4 and 6 year old still like it.

I can see it's not easy if you don't know the tune, but probably any other adult attendee would!

Hope that makes sense.

Amazon sells a pack of Sports days with the games Fuchsia suggested. Cheers,
