Has anybody got any ideas for old fashioned stalls/games for a school fete?

Answer 1

How about good old Welly Wanging?? Object being to see who can throw a wellington boot the furthest.

There is also plate smashing using some old plates of various sizes and hard balls like baseballs, the adults like this one too.

Answer 2

A few have already been said but the following are what I remember from fetes.

Coconut Shy
Whack the Rat (a particular favorite dropping a toy rat down a covered tube and getting the player to whack it at the bottom)
Guess how many sweets in a jar
Name the teddy (You have already named it and ask players to guess the name which is announced at the end)
Hoopla
Pin the tail on the donkey
White Elephant Stall (a raffle kinda think where anything goes as prizes)
Hook a duck (from a paddling pool)
Fancy Dress costume competition
Craft stalls
Cake stalls

Hope these ideas help!

See in case you may get the fruit stalls on the community markets and supermarkets to donate clean fruit. desire you have a sturdy time, the infants will like it.

Answer 4

pluck the duck - a bit time consuming to do but then you can keep it. Get a large bpiece of hardboard, draw a big picture of a duck and drill loads and loads of little holes in it.

Then roll up raffle tickets and the kids get to pick numbers from the duck. If numbers end in 0 or a 5 they win a prize, or any variation of this.

Kids love it.
