OK, so Im working with kids about ages 7 to 10, although there is 1 6yr old and one who's 4. I've so run out of stuff to do with them! I need some game Ideas. They love Simon says, any kind of tag, froggy murderer, lots of different stuff. Plus, how do I get them to focus while theyre hyper?! PLZ HELPPP!

Are you allowed to have them play with water? You could do water balloon tosses/fights. Or you could just blow up a ton of ballons and let them play. A sprinkler. A slip-n-slide [it's only about $20].A scavenger hunt. Musical chairs. Telephone. Red rover. A game of baseball/football/soccer/volleyball etc. My mom watches my three cousins- 2, 5, and 10 during the week and the 5 and 10 year old are occupied for HOURS on the computer [i.e. disneychannel.com, nick.com, cartoonnetwork.com, clubpenguin.com, webkinz, etc.].
As for getting them focused when they're hyper, I'm still trying to figure that one out, haha. Maybe try bribing them? That usually works.
I hope some of these helped. Try googling 'party games for kids'. Even if it isn't a party, they still have some good ideas to do with a few kids. Good luck!
