Now is a great time for a family to make a
carnival for everyone to enjoy! These
pages provide ideas for games and prizes.
If you want to raise money for a favorite
charity, charge a nickel or dime to play
each game.
You don't have to spend money to have
great prizes for your games.
Consider giving:
used toys and
games that are in
good shape
baked goods
coupons that local
restaurants and
businesses may
donate
business
freebies, like
pens, rulers or
other items
used books, CDs
and DVDs
small handmade
crafts

Toss some coins and
a handful of prizes
into a small wading
pool. Cover the
"loot" with sand. The
person who runs this
booth can wear a
pirate hat and say,
"Shiver me timbers, matey! I
know you'll find some
doubloons in me sandpit, thar."
A child has 30 seconds to dig
through the sand, and gets to
keep any "treasure" found.
Fill a jar with jelly beans or other candies.
Provide paper and pencils so kids can write
down how many candies they think are in
the jar. The person whose
guess is closest to correct
wins the candy jackpot.
The correct
answer has
three digits.
The correct
answer has a 6
in the tens place.
The correct
answer is less
than 175.
The correct
answer is greater
than 142.
You need 10 "rockets" (small objects such as clothespins, pebbles or pencils).
And you need 10 paper or plastic cups in different sizes.
Write numbers on the bottoms of different sized cups. Place the cups in a group
on the ground. For one ticket, kids get to send 10 "rockets" into the cups.
Add up the numbers on the bottom of cups in which the player landed a
"rocket." Have prizes for the player to win with their points.
