Try These Easy Ideas for Summer Carnival Activities

Forget about planning a boring picnic this year and instead think about planning an easy and thrilling summer carnival! All you need to make a summer carnival a big hit is a few inexpensive games and great weather!

If you want to plan a stress free summer carnival event, here are some things you’ll need:

* A Carnival Area: A great carnival area can be in any large area where there is plenty of space, electric hookups and water hookups. This might be an open field, a park or a large backyard.

* Choose Your Date: When you’ve found your location, think about what date might work best for your carnival. Think about the local events going on in your area and choose a date when there’s nothing occurring. Otherwise, you might be competing with other events and might not have great attendance.

* Ask For Help: Ask your friends, your kids, neighbors and everyone else to pitch in to help with the carnival. Give everyone a small task and by the end it will great knowing you didn’t stress while planning this event.

Three Easy Games To Have At Your Summer Carnival

Instead of spending thousands of dollars on carnival games and hours on setting them up, consider using these three fun and simple games this year at your summer carnival. The kids will love them and will be thrilled to get candy or small prizes for their playing efforts!

1) Wet Target Sponge Toss: This inexpensive carnival game involves a human target volunteer armed with a garbage can lid as their shield. The object is for each child to be given three wet sponges and to try to hit the target (not the shield) with one of the sponges.

2) Inflatable Bounce House: An easy way to bring instant fun to any party or summer carnival is to rent a bounce house or inflatable slide. This is an easy addition to your task list because the inflatable rental company will set the inflatable up for you and take it down. You don’t have to do anything! Kids and adults also love inflatables and will spend hours playing on them, making this an instant hit for all ages.

3) Penny Dunk: This challenging activity involves filling a fish tank with water and placing two glasses at the bottom of the fish tank. Each player tries to sink their penny into the fish tank by dropping it and hoping it will land in a glass for a prize.
