Go classic like Hank suggests. Our two hour parties worked like this:
15 minutes of kids arriving and general running around.
20 minutes for craft (I have three girls so the crafts have been jewelry-making, picutre frame decorating, pumpkin decorating, etc.)
55 minutes of Games: musical chairs, pin the X on the Y (grin on the pumpkin, shell on the mermaid, tail on the pig), hot potato, bean bag toss, spoon races, if the kids are sophisticated enough Simon Says.
10 minutes of Pinata: they never break so each kid gets at least three swings
20 minutes of cake and Ice cream
