Here is the Fall Carnival finished

product. We had 14 total fall carnival

games all of which we made ourselves.

The kids were entertained for 2 hours

straight without getting bored. That’s

a win in my book. Check out our

carnival prizes blog here.

This was a labor of love really. It took 3 months to make all of the games but it was so worth it. Plus we made everything so we can use them for years to come. All the games we made to shrink down and were able to fit them into about a 4x4 square space in a closet when we were done. These are the games we did: • Chicken Fling (Knock the Can), • Ping Pong Pond, • Rung Rinker (Ladder Toss), • Ring Toss, • Bucket Bounce, • Spinning Target, • Sucker Pull, • Lucky Ducky (Floating Duck Pond), • Pumpkin Decorating, • Pumpkin Punch, • Hula Hoop toss, • Cake Walk, • Bottle Flipping, and • Stand the Bottle

Spinning Target &

Rung Ringer.

The Rung Ringer game just used our ladder and a strand of lighted leaf garland. The Spinning Target game was also a big hit. The spinning target game was one of the only games we purchased. We got this game on Amazon and used our sons Nerf guns which worked better than the toy guns it came with. Here are the materials we used: • Ladder, • Lighted leaf garland, • Clacker balls, • Vinyl stickers made on my Cricuit, • Spinning Target game, • Nerf guns, and • Inflatable Fish and Guitars as prizes. While there wasn’t much to them the kids found them to be loads of fun and several kids told me the Spinning Target game was their favorite. These items were easy to put together and fun to play. The Goldfish prizes were huge with the kids.

Chicken Fling

This was one of the first games we made and I think it was my favorite. It’s a simple knock the can style game but we used flying rubber chickens instead of a ball. The kids loved it and as a prize you got a rubber chicken to take home. This game was 2 feet by 4 feet and stood about 3 feet tall. These are the materials we used and where you can get them: • Particle board, • 6 inch boards, • White primer paint, • Craft paint, • Soup cans spay painted white, • Farm backdrop, • Rubber Chickens, and • Animal Face Stickers

Ping Pong

Pond

Ping Pong Pond was a fun games where you toss ping pong balls into cups for prizes. This game was a fan favorite because you didn’t need tons of skill to play. Here are the materials we used and where you can get them: • Particle board • 6 inch boards, • base coat of white paint, • plastic cups and neon cups, • battery operated 6 ft. led light strip, • craft paint, and • ping pong balls.

Ring Toss

Ring Toss was one of the more complicated to make just because we wanted it to be able to come apart for storage. This game proved to be a little more challenging to play as well but the kids and several adults played until they could master it. Here are the materials we used and where you can get them: • Particle board • 6 inch boards, • 2 x 2 boards • base coat of white paint, • Dowel rods, • Blacklight craft paint, • black light strip and blacklight, • plastic rings, • inflatable dinosaurs as prizes

Sucker Pull.

The sucker pull carnival game is easy to play just pull a sucker from the tree and if you sucker has a red dot on the end you win an extra prize. If no red dot, you got a sucker! Here are the materials we used: • Particle board • Science project poster board, • Individual fake fall leaves, • base coat of white paint, • Spray glue and craft glue, • Craft paint, • power drill, and • Blow Pop suckers.

Pumpkin Punch.

This Pumpkin punch game was easy to put together and perfect for the little kids to play. • Poster Board, • Orange and Green Plastic Cups, • Orange and Green Tissue Paper, • Rubber Bands, • Hot Glue, • Craft Paint, and • Small Random Prizes

Bottle Flipping &

Stand the Bottle.

These games had few materials and where easy to make. The bottle flipping game gave the kids a place to finally use their bottle flipping skills and the stand the bottle game was fun for the kids and adults to try and master. Here are the materials we used: • 24” Round table top, • Craft paint, • Vinyl stickers made on my Cricuit, • Bottles for flipping and standing, • Colored rice recipe here, • Dowel rods, • Plastic rings, and • String.

Cake Walk, Hula

Hoop Toss, and

Lucky Ducky

Finally we had a cake walk, hula hoop toss, and a Lucky Ducky Game. I cake walk was a crowd favorite. We had lots of cool mini cakes and baked goods to win. As soon as they announced that the next game was starting people would run up to join but since there were only 12 spots you had to really be quick to get in (I never made it in - next year maybe!). Here are the materials we used: • Lamanated sheets of paper with 12 spaces, • Table for cakes, • Pumpkins, • Hula Hoops, • Galvinized bucket, and • Rubber Ducks.
