Some carnival ideas for preschool require only slight changes in the carnival booths that appear at typical carnivals. For example, although many carnivals feature a bean bag toss, preschoolers will probably struggle with getting the bean bags into those tiny holes. Instead, create a bean bag toss by using large buckets, weighted down or secured to something on the floor. Preschoolers should stand a couple of feet away from the buckets – much closer than is typical with this type of booth. Alternatively, kids could try to drop the bean bags into the bucket while standing on a chair.

What Do You Feel?

Carnival Party Ideas For Adults

Preschoolers love games that involve their senses. To tap into this interest, create a booth in which preschool kids reach into a box and feel an item, and then have to identify what they think the item might be. Use items with interesting textures, such as a grape, a strip of carpet, an earring, or a piece of spaghetti.

Dig for Buried Treasure

Fill a large box or basin with foam peanuts, sand, beans, or similar materials, and bury some objects inside of the box. Objects may include coins, small pieces of paper, or buttons. Preschoolers should be given a certain amount of time to find as many of the objects as they can, and they should receive a prize (or a given number of tickets) based on the number of objects they successfully find.

Walk Along a Balance Beam

Preschoolers are just learning how to balance themselves in difficult physical situations. Lay blocks or bricks along the floor in a straight line and challenge players to walk across the 'balance beam' without losing their balance. Alternatively, place hoops in a staggered formation on the floor and challenge players to jump from one to the other until they make it to the end. Doing either of these successfully wins a prize (or a ticket).

You can also make an invisible balance beam for students to cross.

Applesauce Feeding Contest

For preschoolers that enjoy a bit of competition, here’s a creative idea about how to introduce some into a carnival booth, while keeping it fun. Players at this booth must arrive in pairs, with two pairs competing at a time. One member of each pair receives a blindfold and a small bowl of applesauce. The other member of the pair sits on a chair with her hands tied behind her. The two pairs then compete to have the seeing member of the pair finish eating the applesauce first, with the blindfolded member of the pair feeding it to her. Preschoolers will find the results hysterical, and some of the teachers can take part in this as well!

Use a puppet stand or coat rack to make a ring toss. Tape different faces (happy, sad, animals, silly, etc) When the child rings a face they act out the face.

Give each child a nose (pompom with double sided tape on it) and blind fold them and have them put the nose on the clown (you can spin the children but it is better not to do this for younger ones)

Tape a piece of cardboard to one end of a muffin pan. Put the pan on a chair and have the cardboard go to the ground. Put different prizes in the muffin tins and then have your children roll tennis balls (or other small balls) up the ramp and into a muffin space. When they get it into a space give them the prize for that space (let your children play until they win a prize, then they can give the next child a chance).Carnival preschool ideas

Draw a large clown face on a piece of poster board. Cut a hole out where the clown's mouth would be (make it at least twice the size of the beanbag). Tape the board to a chair and let each of your children take three tries to throw the beanbag into the clown's mouth.

Let the children try to make animal balloons with the animals just like the real live clowns do. These balloons are really hard to blow up so get a balloon blowing up device to save yourself a lot of work. Everything Preschool >> Themes >> Carnival >> Games
