DS's 3rd birthday party is in a week and a half. I'm just starting to plan food and activities....there will be kiddos 3 up to 10 years old attending. Any ideas on 2 or 3 simple activities I can plan to keep the party moving? Pinata was as far as I got...TIA

Re: birthday party ideas...
Do you have a theme? If you're doing trains, have trains set up. I did cars for D's third and we had a beanbag toss into an old tire...that was a hit. At his 4th birthday party, the kids got icing and all sorts of sprinkles to decorate sugar cookies. They also made their own pizzas. I put a personal sized pizza crust on a piece of tin foil(I wrote the kid's name in sharpie on the foil). The foil went on a paper plate along with a spoon, a small cup of sauce, and a small cup of cheese. I had other topping in bowls on the table. The kids loved making the pizzas. I just needed to pick up the foil and transfer it onto cookie sheets. Before the party, I figured out how I was going to fit all of them onto 3 sheets so I could cook them all at once. Making the pizzas was a fun project that took up a lot of time.
Other fun games-pin the ____ on the _____. I've seen pin the cherry on the ice cream for a sundae party, pin the 1 on Thomas for a train party, pin the hat on the cat for a Seuss party...you get the point.
Hot Potato is always fun and instead of a ball, you can use something that fits your theme, such as a car.
DD went to a bday party and they had filled up a kiddie pool with water and bath toys. Then the kids took turns "fishing" out the toys with a butterfly net. They LOVED it!!
DD still has the toy she caught
Disney Cars or just plain old cars? DS's 3rd bday was race cars. I had all his cars out for the kids to play with. Did bean bag toss into an old tire. Had a craft table set up with car coloring pages. We also had little wooden cars the kids could color with markers. His cake was a race track! I made used 1 round pan and 1 9x11 pan for the cakes. Cut the round cake in half and stuck it on each end of the 9x11 cake to make a large oval. Iced it so it looked like a race track and put a couple brandnew hot wheels on the track. Huge hit!
For Disney Cars
You could play pin the lighting bolt on Lighting McQueen.
Ramone's house of body art-temp tatooes or face paint
Cute snack idea...make rice krispie treats and use red, yellow, and green m & ,m's to make them look like traffic lights.
