Game ideas

DS's party is next weekend and I can't come up with any ideas for games or entertainment. The theme is football so I would like some themed games but at this point anything would be good. It is at my house. There will be between 20 and 30 people there, about 7 to 10 of which are children, ranging in age from 1 to 12 with a high concentration of 4 to 5 year olds. Any ideas would be great!

Is it inside or outside?? We find tag a lot of fun with a large age group. Also I always have a coloring project at every party even the adults like to color and I'm sure you can find a football themed print out on line. Or pin the laces on the ball instead of pin the tail on the donkey would be fun. We did a simple scavenger hunt which was a blast, or what about a cut out to throw balls though? Or even just buckets to throw them into?

You could have a game where you have a bunch of baby toys/objects in a hamper and the contestants have to get the objects into a second hamper while crawling like a baby.  You could have teams compete and the winning team gets a prize.  If it's just individuals, the individual wins a small prize.  I've also heard of baby bottle bowling. Another game is to have teams draw your baby.  Each person on the team gets 30 secs to draw then hands off the drawing to the next teammate and so on. People not playing can vote on the winner.
