kids tents tunnels image

Hi! I'm in charge of my school's carnival for the first time, and the games we've had in the past are growing a little old and tired. Does anyone have any ideas about new and exciting carnival games?
I really want to impress our community with a great selection of games and other activities.
Thanks!
Answer
There's an article titled 34 School Carnival Game Ideas that is really helpful.
Here are two from the article:
The Fortune Teller Booth
We had our school principal dress up as a fortune tellers with bright flowing clothing, a turban, several bandannas, scarves, and lots of jingling jewelry on him. We decorated his office to look like a real fortune tellerâs tent. There was a small table with bright table cloth on it and a couple of chairs. We placed a small lamp with a scarf over it to set the mood, and there was a CD player playing eerie music. On the table was a crystal ball, some playing cards, and a cup and sauce with tea leaves.
The principal read palms, gazed into the crystal ball, and turned playing cards. We had prepared a list of âfortunesâ ahead of time so he had some things ready that he could tell his customers. We made sure that all the fortunes were âgood newsâ.
The principal and the kids really enjoyed the âgame.â We gave (donated) fortune cookies as a treat, and the cookies had messages specially designed for kids. You can order cookies made with your own message(s) if you plan ahead.
Box Maze
We made a box maze and filled an entire classroom with it at our carnival. We collected refrigerator and stove boxes for months ahead of time. We opened several of the ends and then taped the boxes together to form âtunnels.â However, we did create a number of dead ends with boxes that only had one end open.
Keep in mind that very small children may become disturbed if they canât find the end of the maze very quickly, but older children will love crawling through several tunnels within the maze.

What do you think about having a camp out indoors for a toddler playdate?

What kind of things could we do for the camp out? What kind of snacks could I serve?
Answer
Hot dogs on skewers,(make sure the ends are not sharp), s'mores, monster cookies, chips, marshmallows anything else that you would eat on a camp out. You could set up a mini indoor tent, we have one w/ a tee pee and two tunnels that kids climb thru. Get a cheap plastic set of fishing poles and pretend to fish. Lay out sleeping bags, tell bedtime stories. You are only limited by your imagination. Good luck and have fun!!
