Kids then come over and throw balls or beanbags at the pumpkin towers to try and knock them down. You could have two of them on either side and make them the entrance to your carnival party. Treat your guests to a vintage-like hot dog stand to help create a traditional carnival atmosphere.
You can create some incredible Halloween carnival games for a fun-filled day or evening with a few supplies and a little creativity. Use a plastic kiddy bowling set or ten empty two-liter soda bottles and a large plastic lightweight ball for this Halloween carnival game. Set the kiddy pins or the soda bottles up to resemble a real bowling alley placing the pins several feet from where the bowler will begin. Each child will take two turns to toss the ball in an attempt to knock over all ten pins. Pass out spider rings or gumballs that look like eyeballs for each contestant. Spider rings and eyeball looking gum balls are easy to find in the candy aisle during the month of October.
DIY Game
Both are lightweight and easy to pack in your luggage. Wear yours with a bikini top or swimsuit or tank top if you’re a merman, and accessorize with lots of shells and shell jewelry. A sailor costume is one of the easiest, and most fitting, to put together.
This circus wagon was easy to make with a lot of cardboard, streamers and gold paint, the inner bottom of the wagon is littered with body parts and bones. Devilish dishes are a must at a Halloween party but don't overdo the theme. Older kids might enjoy the gross-out factor, such as putting fake blood (e.g., ketchup) on food.
Face Paint
Severed limbs and the living dead may be fine for adult Halloween parties. But young kids usually prefer age-appropriate fun over a horrifying fright night. If your event is for older kids, you can get medium-sized pumpkins instead. Kids are challenged to hold as many pumpkins as they can for one whole minute. On a child's turn, she can have one person help her gather as many pumpkins as she can hold with all parts of her body. She must stay standing and cannot tuck the pumpkins into any clothing or accessories.
Use a black marker to make ghost faces on each bucket to add Halloween spunk to the game. Kids can practice their shooting skills with this easy Nerf gun game. Take five plastic cups, two 16-ounce, two 12-ounce, and one 10-ounce for added difficulty, and glue an image of a scary monster on the bottom inside of each cup. Glue the outside bottom of the plastic cups to a piece of cardboard in a diamond pattern. The two largest cups should be the top and bottom point, the medium cups can be the left and right points, and the smallest cup will be the bulls-eye in the middle.
Trick or Treating
A cocktail in hand and five o’clock shadow completes the look. A candy or sweet treat walk game can be set up by placing twelve colorful squares of paper in a large circle. Number each square with the numbers from one to twelve then write a specific candy on the bottom each one.
Another awesome, and really simple, idea for a carnival cake is to simply top a rustic layer cake with a colorful banner. Fill a basket, bucket, or box with some bean bags for your guests to pick up and use to play bean bag toss. Have a stack of paper and have each kid create an airplane. Launch them from a set spot and mark where each lands. Whether you’re going house-to-house or doing more reserved fun this year, these ideas aren’t just for global pandemics. Here are 10 tips for hosting a Halloween party for kids.
And instead of using creepy plastic spiders, you can make some cute crochet spiders to place in string webs around your house. Bring some Halloween yard decorations inside to complete your party scene. But remember when planning your decorations, think about your youngest guests and what they might find frightening. For this carnival, I set up a spiderweb-covered game table with a DIY painted clown skull carny.
Top a regular birthday cake with this gorgeous vintage Ferris Wheel to create the carnival-themed birthday cake of your dreams. Impress your guests with a carnival-themed dessert table designed to look like a vintage carnival stall. Set up a DIY carnival prize table with a red and white striped table skirt, like the ones you see at real carnivals. We made the ticket booth from cardboard and attached round white string llghts around the window.
It's a cool retro candy that takes us back to actual fun days at carnivals and local fairs. As well as being a wonderful party decoration, this Ferris wheel cupcake stand is just what you need to serve your fabulous cupcakes. A menu sign is a cool party decoration that will let your guests know exactly what carnival food is being served at your party.
Points are gained when the bean bag they throw is able to hit a certain number of points on the sheet. Just write matching numbers on the back of some plastic plates. Kids of all ages love having a go at the duck pond game. They win the prize corresponding to the number that they've landed on. This was a great party, I decided to be the ring master, attend by my fortune teller and clown.
See how to set up this Fire Truck Booth at your school carnival. Golf enthusiasts who are planning to play a round or two during a cruise already have the outfit to be a golfer for Halloween. Amplify the look by wearing your preppiest pastel golf shirt, pressed chino shorts, pulled-up argyle socks and golf shoes.
I used a lot of plastic carnival striped sceen setter on the walls and red and gold streamers from the ceiling to create an enclosed circus tent atmosphere. Trick or Treasure Rocks- easy to make and SO FUN for kids! Whip up a batch of these for a SUPEr Halloween party favor, make them for your kids class, or simply to delight your own children right at home. One neighbor created an alien-space theme and had large inflatables for photo opps.

They are fun for the whole family, so bring the whole gang. Although geared toward preschool, this game is great for any age. Gather together several rubber ducks and write the numbers 1, 2, or 3 on the bottoms. Use a kiddie pool filled with water to place the ducks in. Each player picks up one duck and the prize category depends on the number underneath the duck. Another awesome party decoration that will fit in perfectly with your carnival theme is a large, life-size, popcorn balloon garland.
