draw a picture say out of a film then the other players must guess what film it is out of (doesn’t have to be films) then who ever guesses it gets a turn. if they think it is unfair take turns to play it might work better especially as they are quite young.
cranium, monopoly kids, connect 4, sorry, mouse trap, bamboo, lego etc…You can make lots of fun stuff with just some popsicle sticks, glue, paper, scissors and paint etc…

Treasure hunt: Hide objects and write down clues or make a map, You can write down a list of things and go around looking for them. Example:
Stick
leaf
rock
You can even list objects that have something to do with bible storys.
You can make this a team challenge you can split them up into two teams or more.
Chance: you need two decks playing card or make your own cards just make there are an even number of each picture.
Shuffle the cards and put them all face down on a table or floor. Which ever player gets the most matches wins.
Slap Jack: Oh the memories of this game, Unless you want a crying 3 year old I would not suggest it if the kids have tendency to get violent.

Here is a interesting Idea, making your own board game.
Get a large piece of poster board, Crayons/markers/pencils, Crayola model magic, pipe cleaners, glue and glitter (Glitter not necessary). My Idea is to do this with the kids, They can each make there own little figurines, dice, Houses, roads lakes and bridges, that can be just about anything they want it to be. Each of them can draw a part of the game board.
Creativity is the game, Work together when your creating the rules.
