There should be a ton of websites with suggestions.

Some old standards would be:

Potato Sack Race
3 Legged Race
Hot Potato (sit in a circle and pass the "potato" around - may be too juvenille for that group though

We just had Field Day at DS's school. Try to get the Phys Ed teachers involved. We had soccer ball dribble then they kicked it into an unguarded goal, 50 yd dash, high jump, wheelbarrow (2 kids....pick up the feet of one person and walk them down to the line then switch positions, a regular tug-of-war and a 4-way tug of war, shooting basketballs, stick and hoops, and leap frog. If you can get the teachers involved in a tug-of-war the kids love that too. Or the teachers against some of the kids.
