Outdoor carnival kids games

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. Lift the cup, and if the ball is there, they win a prize.

Another option is to use a piece of cardboard to hide all of the cups from your player. Place the ball under any cup and then remove the cardboard. Instead of moving the cups around, the player will guess which cup is hiding the ball.
