carnival

A carnival can be a lot of fun.  The best place to host a carnival is outdoors in a big wide space, ie: a park, a big back yard...etc. But, if you want to host a carnival during the colder months, it's best to hold it in a gymnasium or hall, if possible. 

Birthday in a Box

Use a lot of same ideas from the big top birthday party.

  • To decorate, just use helium balloons (that you can hand out), and pennants all over. 
Activities
 
  • For a fun carnival game, use a small inflated "kiddie pool", fill with water.
  • Purchase as many small rubber duckies as you have guests.  On two or three duckies, draw, with black felt tip marker, a star.
  • Before the party begins, float the ducks in the "kiddie pool".
  • Allow the children, one by one, to choose a duck from the "pond".  The one who chooses the duck with the star on the bottom, wins the prize.
  • Also, you could play the hoop around the bottle game.. Just set up several glass soda bottles on a table and have a children stand a certain distance from the table.  Give them hoops to toss around the bottles.  The one who gets one around the bottle, wins.
  • Have a friend make balloon animals for the guests, you can buy a kit at Birthday in a Box.
Menu
  • corndogs
  • cotton candy
  • peanuts in the shell
  • soda and lemonade.
 
  Party favors
  • Hand out tickets to play the games as guests arrive.
  • Fill treat bags with a sponge clown nose, jumbo sunglasses, bubbles, a big swirl sucker, and tickets for playing games.
  • FUN IDEA: Have friends help by dressing up as clowns and greeting everyone, and face painting, and telling light and fun fortunes, and making balloon animals!
