  1. Hey, I was looking through some games earlier and I was thinking this might help
    These can be tweaked to adapt to our settings... (have fun reading)

    Treasure Chest
    Fill a small square or rectangle container with birdseed and place 10-15 pennies within the seed. Allow the participants 1 minute (60
    seconds) to find as many pennies within the time frame. Award players based on the total amount of pennies they have found. You can have them close their eyes to complicate the game if need be. You may also reduce the amount of time for older players.

    Floating Duck or Boat
    Find a floating item that is cheap and small, possible at a dollar store and get about 15 -20 of them. Mark on the bottom of a few of them your award system. Fill a small wading pool or washtub and place them in. They get one try to pull out an object that is marked. Lay down plastic if this is done inside or in a classroom.

    Black Hole Bean Bag Toss
    Take a piece of plywood or foam board and cut a hole in it. You'll need one package of 5" beanbags that you can find on our site. Paint
    the cutout into some type of theme, animals, circus, an adventure or some type of science. One fun theme you can use is planets and
    spaceships. Try adding a tape or CD playing in the background with space sounds or music that involves space. Each player will be given 3 beanbags to throw through the black hole, if they get all three they win.
    + you can get yad to be move targets while bags get tossed lol.

    lucky key
    I haven't tried this one yet, but it sounds fun! Player selects a key from a large pile of keys and tries to unlock the "treasure" chest. Only a few keys will open the lock and get a prize.
    (or a door)

    pick my pocket
    Volunteers wear colorful aprons with lots of pockets and circulate throughout the carnival. Each pocket holds a different prize. Player gets to choose the pocket.
    Variations:
    Grandma's Apron: Have the volunteers wear gray wigs (if needed!) and granny glasses.

    fishing pond

    This is a classic. Player extends a small fishing pole over (or through a hole in) a screen. The operator in back of the screen
    attaches a prize to the line. Fishing poles can easily be made from bamboo sticks or wooden dowels with a clothespin or paper clamp on the end of a string. Paint the screen with lively underwater designs for
    more fun

    ps. we also have the "put your face in the hole" and take a picture kuanyin. somewhere...lots of people liked it. You could even maybe do a setting for it
