 Grease-inspired carnival
"Grease" inspired end of school carnival! Here are some ideas:
Decorations and Activities
-
Have outdoors, if possible.
-
Hang fringe pennants and balloons from tree to tree.
-
Rent tents to hold tables and food.
-
Have a potato sack race.
-
Play the "rubber duck" game.~ Fill a small childs pool with water. With black permanent marker, number the bottom of 10 rubber ducks from 1 to 10. Have players guess the number between 1 and 10 and pick up a duck. The one who picks up the number he/she chose wins a prize. Purchase many inexpensive stuffed animals for prizes.
Use your imagination for all kinds of carnival games...
Menu
-
Serve fried chicken, hot dogs, polish sausage dogs with all of the fixin's, and bottled and canned soda, as well as, fresh lemonade. Also bags of cotton candy.
Etc.
You could also collect tickets for the games that you hand out as people arrive. Rent equipment, such as:
-
Cotton candy machines
-
Popcorn machines
-
Helium balloon machines
-
Carnival games are available for rental at many party rental stores. ~ To find a rental store near you, go to www.yellowpages.com and search for party rental in your area. Then, you will need to call and ask. Sometimes, they do not advertise all that they offer. TIP: Rent or purchase the movie Grease for more inspiration.
