Carnival Themed Birthday Party Ideas
I am having a Carnival themed birthday for Joey's 3rd Birthday. Here are my ideas so far:
Upon Arrival:
Decorate Paper gift bag with name, markers and stickers. Use bag for collecting tickets!
1.Games:
•Spin the Wheel- large wheel…pick a number/ color/ shape…win tickets!
•Win A Fish- glue Styrofoam bowls to a board. Bounce foam balls into bowl. Ball in bowl wins a goldfish!
•Guess the amount of candies in a jar. Write guess on slip of paper and put in container. Winner (closest # to correct amount) gets jar!
•Laundry Basket-ball- Shoot 3 inflatable balls into laundry basket. Win tickets!
•Photo board- mount the photo board to foam board. Mount to Yard stakes. Take digital pics for thank you’s!
• Rent an Inflatable ride
•Rent a Cotton Candy machine
•Face Painting/ tattoo booth
•Clown
•Build a Ticket booth (to redeem tickets and give out favors!)
•Dunk Tank
* Clown Pinata
Does anyone have any more ideas as far as games I could make?
TIA

Re: Carnival Themed Birthday Party Ideas
So funny you post this- We are also planning on a carnival theme for my DS 3rd b-day !!! ...Its not a game , but we decided to give out goldfish in the little baggy with a small fishbowl and starter kit of food as the favor !....Oriental Trading used to have much more carnival themed games, but one I didnt see you had listed was the milk jugs that you stack with the ball that you have to knock over, and the bean bag toss type of game....Sounds like your party is going to be lots of fun !

I just received the oriental trading party book and they had a ton of stuff for carnival parties...I thought it was such a great idea. I want to do it for my boys 1st bday but I may wait until they get a little older...
What about a ball pit or a bouncer...I know the kids love that...just an idea.

One more idea we had was a sand art or candy art (with the sand candy) table where they can make their own neclaces or souvenier to take home
