Not everyone can afford professional's to keep the children entertained at their child's party and
The key is to supervise the games and to be involved at the same time. Don't simply tell them what to do and expect the magic to happen, let yourself be a part of the game too and have a go - show them what happens when you succeed and when you fail, with another adult.
Have an incentive or a prize for the winner, this will help hold their interest and make it visual and fun to watch, as well as play. That way it will be fun even if it's not your turn. As the adult, make sure you know their names and make encouraging comments to the child to help the group feel involved.
Games like treasure hunt can be really fun, splitting the group into two and having two sets of things to find, can add an extra sense of urgency as it's also a race. Preparing clues and mini prizes along the way will help keep their interest. Pin the tail on the donkey or change it to something in the theme of your party, like pin the eye patch on the pirate or tiara on the princess.
Purchasing a ready-made pinata can be really fun, when well supervised or even making an attempt at doing your own, as not all of the prizes need to be edible. For example, you could use stickers, little toys, balloons and other small toys suitable for the age range. Obviously having the space and supervision is important with a pinata so make sure the children are kept safe.
