try a theme party--western theme, south-of-the-border theme, luau, 70's flashback, 50's party.... Kids could do the limbo, hula hoop contest, do a scavenger hunt....If you happen to have a pool or can rent one, a pool party is always fun. Decorate the table(s) in a theme, have plenty of food-play some pool games:
SCAVENGER HUNT
Strew a variety of stuff at the bottom of the pool: dive rings, spoon, coins--anything that doesn't float, isn't made of glass and has no sharp edges. Make sure there are two of everything (one for each team). Designate the shallow end for little kids, the deep end for bigger ones and grown-ups and give each team a list of items to retrieve. The team that collects the most things on its list in the allotted time wins; the other team has to scour the pool for the remaining stuff.

DUCK
Assemble two teams, one offensive and one defensive, at opposite sides of the shallow end, plus a referee with a watch on the deck. Armed with soft rubber balls or small beach balls, the offensive team tries to hit the defensive players. An offensive team member can retrieve balls, but he must return to the starting position before throwing again. Defensive players must get out of the pool when hit. After all have been hit, the referee notes the elapsed time, and the teams change roles. The team that stays in the water the longest before being wiped out is the winner.
