Help the little ones spend their money. Peanut Run: Divide into two teams. Give each team a butter knife or tongue depressor. Spread some peanuts on the ground and an empty pan at a distance. Each runner must pick up a peanut with the knife or stick, deposit it in the empty pan, then run back and (safely!) hand the tool to the next person. The first team to finish wins. Step Right Up: Divide into three-person teams, and stage a circus. Each team creates an act to perform  -- magic tricks, acrobatics, clowning around, or whatever sounds fun. Give an award to each act, focusing on the positive! Balloon Race: In this alternative to ping-pong, players use a paper fan and a balloon instead of a ball and paddle. Each player moves her balloon by waving the fan, trying to send it flying off the table or past the opposite player.
