Circus or
Carnival Birthday Party Games
Give each child a popcorn box at the beginning of the
game time.
They will be filled as they play.
If you really want to go "all out" decorate
game stations
with paint, butcher paper, streamers and
balloons.
Mouse Holes
You'll need a cardboard box and three golf balls.
Cut 3 "mouse holes" on the box. Use a piece of Tape to mark the starting point.
The children roll the balls and attempt to get them into the holes. I cut the holes in various sizes for different skill levels.
Lollipop Tree
You'll Need several small prizes, lollipops and a Styrofoam ball. With 3 different colored markers, place a dot on the end of each lollipop stick and insert them into the Styrofoam ball.
Place prizes into 3 corresponding lunch bags. Red for red dots, Blue for blue dots etc. The players pick one lollipop and collects a prize from the corresponding prize bag.
Tin Can "Shoot"
The children use water guns to knock down empty frozen juice cans. Cover the cans with construction paper
and place them on a bench.
Fishing
Make fishing pole with a dowel, string, and clothes pin.
Place a "helper" behind a board or some other barrier to hide.
The children toss their fishing line over the divider and the helper clips a Prize onto their pole. Younger children Love this!
Any games will do. It's a carnival, have lots of fun
and helpers available!
Ring toss, Bean bag Toss, Horse shoes, Lawn Bowling Hula Hoops, Obstacle course, Balloon Darts (older children only)
Face painting, Water Balloon Toss,
Relay races...
