Here are a few games and recipes. Feel free to contact me if this isn't what you had in mind!
Mermaid Races
Wrap green crepe paper around guests' legs (from below the knees to ankles) to turn them into mermaids. Set up starting and finishing lines in your living room or back yard and have the mermaids race. The guest who hops across the finish line first wins a prize
Crab Walk
This can be used as an individual race or team relay. Have the children get into the crab walk position (hands and feet on floor with head and torso facing up). Have them race to a finish line or through a course.
