If you don't have a fishing pole, make one with a stick with thin rope and a binder clip attached. The object of the game is very simple and guarantees a prize, which makes it an instant hit with younger children. The player will cast a line over a wall where an adult is hiding on the other side.
Watch your head! Clip a piece of candy or a small toy to the clip and give the fishing line a pull as if the kids have caught a fish. The player pulls out the line and takes their prize. This homemade carnival game can be a bit messy, but kids will love it. To create the game, you'll need sand, plastic shovels, plastic "dinosaur eggs," and a small container, such as a kiddie-sized swimming pool. Put stickers and other small prizes inside the plastic eggs. If you have larger prizes, write the name of the prize on a slip of paper and put it inside an egg.
Place all of the eggs in the small container. Fill the container with sand, making sure all of the eggs are completely covered. Hand out plastic shovels and let participants start digging. To minimize the chaos, only let one or two people dig at a time. The game is over when they find an egg and receive their prizes. One of the most popular fall festival games is bobbing for apples. However, if having children stick their mouth in a tub of water grosses you out, try this old British take on the game.
Hang the apples from strings instead of using a bucket of water, and only allow one child to try for one apple, so other kids' mouths aren't going for the same apple. Another hygienic option is to catch apples with small nets. Use the bucket of water and stick the apples in for bobbing.
Instead of kids using their mouths to get the apples out, they'll have to use a small net instead. This is perfect for smaller children who are working on their coordination skills. For older children, make it more challenging by blindfolding them. Make your own bean bag toss game, in which a bean bag making it in the hole means the participants win a prize.
If you would like to give players more than one shot at winning, add more holes to the boards and paint rings around the different holes to represent prize tiers. For example, the hole at the top center is the hardest to get the bag through, so paint a red ring that signifies that the winner gets a big prize. Paint blue rings on the second row to indicate a medium-sized prize and yellow rings on the bottom row, which are the closest and easiest to hit, so the winner gets a small prize.
There's something about a spinning wheel that draws a crowd of young and old. Additionally, you can theme the wheel for the festivities—for Halloween, you could put ghost and pumpkins on a wheel and ask the player to choose one. If the wheel lands on the one they've chosen, they win a prize. Alternatively, if you want players to try for specific prizes, put pictures of the prizes on the wheel. If it's not the number the player has called, that number of candy pieces goes into a pot.
The next player then calls a number. Repeat until the wheel finally lands on a player's number and they win the candy loot. This classic homemade carnival game is one of the simplest on the list. You only need three plastic cups and a small ball to play. Show the ball to your player, then put it under a cup, and switch the cups around. The player tries to follow the cup that has the ball underneath. When you're done moving the cups, the player taps the top of the cup they think the ball is in.
Divide players into equal teams. For each team have a box containing a complete costume, each costume should have the same number of pieces 4 or 5 is fun — Shirt pants, big shoes, huge tie, clown nose, wig or mask, etc. Anything silly that a clown might wear! In turn each player must put on the costume and run to a certain point where they take the costumes off and put them back in the box. They run back to start where the next player repeats the process until one team finishes and wins.
Do you have a balance beam? Once dry you have your Tight Rope! Children can pretend placing one foot in front of the other.
Add some fun with props. Can they juglle bean bags while walking or balance a book on their heads?! Give each player one of three names associated with hot dogs-such as: hot dog, relish, mustard. All players with that name run around the parachute. Players run under the parachute performing the called out action—while returning to their places. Turn the body so that the chute is held with only one hand.
Walk, hop, jump, or skip around holding the chute. It looks like a merry-go-round! With the parachute lowered, players raise their arms and the chute as high as possible. Once the chute is high, on a signal-all take big steps towards the center.
Still holding the chute tightly, children sit down at the edge of the chute-under what should appear to be a cathedral. Everybody circle round, Lift the canvas off the ground, Pull and pull and watch it rise, Big Top grows before our eyes. Everybody circle round, Lift the canvas off the ground. Have kids run and get a cupful of popcorn and transfer it to the bowl across the room. The first team finished wins. Because of potential popcorn mess, this would be good played outside!
Popcorn and a circus or carnival go together! Players walk in a circle of numbered squares while music plays. When the music stops, the facilitator chooses the winning numbers from a hat.
Players standing on a winning number get a prize. Often local grocery stores will donate goods, or check with local fast-food outlets for gift certificates for ice cream cones, cookies, etc.
Create a beanbag toss game by using a large sheet of foam board. Decorate it as desired and cut some circles out that are large enough for bean bags to go through. Support the board by propping something behind it. It could also be propped by taping a hula-hoop to the back-side top and stretching it out at the bottom to stand the board game. Purchase bean bags or make your own from fabric and dried beans. Also see how to make paper napkin beanbags … In relay games at page bottom A fun and functional craft project!
This is a great activity for kids of all ages! Purchase or make bean bags suitable for tossing and draw a large picture of a clown on a piece of cardboard with its mouth wide open.
Draw and cut out the mouth so you have a hole large enough to toss the bean bags through. Place the box about ten feet away adjust distance for the age of your children and give each child a chance to toss the bean bags into the clowns mouth! Set up a hula hoop so it stands up securely. The player tries to throw a small stuffed lion or tiger or bean bag through the hoop.
Decorate the hoop with colored paper to look like flames. Tuck a prize slip inside a small balloon and then inflate.
You can write the name of the prize on the slip or just a number corresponding to a prize. Have lots of prize balloons ready, store in plastic bags. Stack cans in a pyramid. Each player gets to throw one to three balls at the cans. You can use tennis balls, rubber baseballs, or other types of balls for this game. You can decide if they must knock down all or just a few cans to win a prize.
Give each child a plate with three gummy worms covered in whipped cream, and a cup. The first child to find the gummy worms with their mouths and get them into their cup is the winner! No Hands used!!! IDEA: This can also be adapted to putting whipped cream on a small paper plate. The children must find the hidden goodies with their mouths. Of course, no hands used…Be sure to have your camera ready-a good photo op! To prepare, make one small bowl of Jell-O for each child plus a few extra.
Line the bowls along the ground outside if the weather permits. If playing inside, lay a tablecloth or other mess protection under the bowls for easier cleanup. To play, the kids place their hands on the ground beside their bowls and must keep them there throughout the game. When the command is given to start, all players begin eating their bowl of gelatin. The first one to clean his or her bow wins! Optional: Add a dollop of whipped cream to add a little mess!
Throw a small Frisbee or bean bag at a large picture of a circus animal lion, elephant, tiger, dog, seal, etc. The closest is the winner. Make a target out of plywood or foam core available at art supply stores for baseballs. Paint the board with a fun sports design and cut out holes large enough for the baseballs to go through. Each player gets to throw three balls at the target. You can use a standard size basketball goal and kid-sized goals.
