For our daughter’s 7th birthday we had a great time at this carnival themed party.
Here are our ideas for carnival themed games, carnival themed party food and a carnival themed prize table.
Prize Table
Rather than having pre packed party bags for this party we created a prize table with play money to buy prizes.
Our carnival themed party bags were a lot of fun and the kids really enjoyed choosing their own prizes. It also meant that everyone got involved in the games, including some kids who usually dont participate as much.
Play money to buy prizes
- I gave one play dollar for participating in each game
- Each play dollar was exchanged for a prize which went in the child’s take home bag
- Tip: Suggest giving the play money to children and then only ‘opening’ prize table 2 or 3 times in the party to keep the prize distribution supervised and smooth
Party Bag labels
