Other Games:
Set up backyard to look like a carnival.
- Coming into your driveway, have a balloon archway.
- The whole backyard has booths set up for the games.
- For approximately 2-3 months prior to the party, gather up all your kids McDonald, Burger King, Wendy’s, etc toys from kids’ meals.
- Friends may also offer their "throw away – trash" toys.
- Each booth has a box full of toys to choose from. Best toys got put into a different box for winners. Thus, each booth actually has 2 different boxes of toys. Moreover gather up all those old stuffed animals, washed them in the washing machine, and hang them on string or clothesline.
Balloon Archway - blow balloons with helium. You may take a piece of string and tie the balloons to the piece of string, about every 12 inches. One time you start tying the balloons, they will float up. Fasten the piece of string with a tent stake, or any piece of thick wire that will hold the string in place. Then insert the object into the ground with the string secured to it. And after putting balloons every 12 inches on string, you can decide on the size of the arch. When you have enough balloons, you will then secure the opposite end of the string the same way. Consider your visitors can either drive through the balloon archway or walk through to come into your carnival.
