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. 

CIRCUS TENT

Circus Tent

Perfect for Carnival Party From Shindigz


Click on the link above for circus tent and ticket booth, giant popcorn standee, balloon animals kit, and magician top hat.... enter keyword into search bar provided when arriving at Shindigz.

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 a 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.
