How about musical freeze - they all dance and when the music stop the last one to bob down is out? You could also do whats the time mister wolf, or else the sleeping giant -where they sneak up to get a little prize without being spotted or caught by the giant. I would recommend anything where they all play - lining up for pin the tail type games don't work at this age because they have to wait for so long!
Songs with actions can work too, so a sing and dance along.

Duck duck goose (DD1 recently played it at kinder)
Hide & seek
Could you setup a drawing / craft table - buy one of those cheapo plastic table cloths ($2) and set up a little table with some glue etc - they could make a mask or give them a paper plate each to decorate.... 3yr old LOVE craft
Pin the tail on the donkey (or whatever your theme is, I am doing pin the heart on the cupid for a valentine's day themed party)
Treasure hunts of any kind -I am hiding paper hearts
Pinatas
I am filling a bowl with candy hearts and giving the kids chopsticks (or spoons for younger ones) to see how many they can transfer to their own bowl in 60 seconds
I am also printing out some colouring pages from the web, mazes, join-the-dots etc and supplying crayons etc that they can do sitting at a table
I could think of some more but DD is waking up from her nap!
