I have looked into Oriental Trading for the prizes and things,but I need GAME IDEAS!!! Like.......duck pond, dunking booth, county jail, etc. I think the PTO is ordering from OT and I know I am for my daughter's birthday, but our school won't buy the games from there.

*Limbo-two buckets of stand and three pieces of wood
*face painting
*fortune telling
*pie throwing-if you are doing this inside you can use whip cream sponges instead they work just as good and aren't nearly as messy
*you listed the jail and the duck pond
*you can do bowling with a kickball and 2-liter bottles of pop that have been emptied and filled back up with rocks and then the lids hot glued and taped back on.
*balloon on a spoon race to see who can keep the balloon on the spoon.
*if you have some you can use remote control cars to have races like up around the flag pole and back that is always fun for boys
*cookie decorating
*cake walk-where you put paper plates down in a circle and number them from 1-10 and each person stands by one and then you play music when the music stops so do the people and then you pull out a number and whichever number you pull out wins a baked good (you can usually get these donated by other moms or dads)
There are some and I hope they help you. Good luck!

I love Oriental Trading Company. The have a huge online site and everything is purchased cheap by the dozen or more. They have a whole section just for Carnival stuff. We did my sons birthday in Carnival and got everything there. You will find what you need...I almost guarantee it!
Have Fun.

Face painting horse riding.My daughters class did a show for junior children and came up with fantastic ideas.Why dont you get the classes involved.Each class could run a side stall?Kids can be quite inventive you know.Be cheaper to involve parents because kids would have stuff at home they could use.What about sack races?Egg and spoon races?

My sons school had many home-made carvival games. They have an around-the-world theme and each class represented a different country, they had fishing games, kick the ball in the goal games, throw beanbags through holes, golf, pop balloons, nock down coffee cans, the had activity sections where kids could make their own bookmarks, masks and stuff.

Let's see, there is tossing the beanbag at plastic bottles, bowling, tossing through the holes in a board. basketball shooting, the whole duck pond thing with the numbers on the bottom of the ducks. I am thinking......
