They're born to do it! So why not make it into a game? Gather some tin cans, wrap them in colorful paper, and stack them in a pyramid. Grab a few balls, and you're ready to roll…or throw, as the case may be. Depending on the ages of your guests, have varying distances from which participants will stand. Give them three shots to knock down the cans and give them a prize at the end! Ring a Pumpkin Another classic carnival-type game is a ring toss. Make yours fall-friendly and a bit different from the norm by having contestants ring pumpkins with hula hoops.
This super-easy setup just involves setting out medium-sized pumpkins, spacing them a few feet apart. Your standard hula hoop will be just the right size for kids and adults to toss up and around the gourds to secure a prize. If you have a lot of pumpkins available, you could even give those away to the winners. Putt a Pumpkin In keeping with the pumpkin theme, this next game involves just a bit of craftiness in preparation.
Find a medium to large-sized box. With the open flapped size down, you'll create a large painted or drawn pumpkin on one side of the box. When that's done, cut out an opening around four inches wide at the bottom of the picture. This hole at the base of the box will be just the right size for gamers to hit a golf ball through.
The only other things you need are a putter a few different sizes if available and an orange golf ball. Designate a starting point and line guests up for a chance to get a hole in one through the pumpkin.
Obstacle Course Everybody likes an obstacle course. Twists and turns, climbing, and crawling can make a fun adventure. How you set it up is up to you. It can be as simple as following a path to spin around a chair three times, then hopping through hula hoops on the floor until you reach a table you must crawl under. Everyday objects that you already have on hand make this a simple game to set up. For added fun, set up two identical courses side by side.
Then have two people compete against each other in a race. If you just have one course set up, you could time participants and keep a running scoreboard of the fastest times. Those competitive families will keep coming back for more. To make it fall festival-friendly, create a large area on the floor where you can tape off these classic lines. Then use mini orange and white pumpkins for the Xs and O's.
A great thing about this game is that no one has to manage it. Just have the kids line up behind a line that you put on the floor by using some duct tape. Have them try tossing the plastic spoons into the plastic jug. This is an empty Cheetos ball container. I got this from Walmart. Just take the lid off and let them see if they can get a spoon in.
When they got a spoon in they got to pick out a prize. We had small prizes we offered that we got from walmart in the party section. We also had some candy too. This is not really a game, but just an idea for a church fall festival.
You could paint crosses, pumpkins, corn, anything harvest like on the kids faces. Or you could do little animals like bees, butterflies, cupcakes, balloons, ice cream, flowers, etc. The paints and paintbrushes I used were purchased from Walmart. You could also use eyeshadow palette's to fill in for a color and use a black eyeliner to draw with if you don't want to use paint.
I found that using makeup eyeshadow and eyeliner is a lot easier to draw with. I covered a table in an orange table cover and set a table hut thing Not sure what its called on top. I got this from oriental trading for a hawaii party and I just changed the flowers out. I used fall vine leaves from the dollar tree and wrapped them around the two front poles and taped the top and bottom so they wouldn't fall off.
I taped a white piece of paper to the front with some little animals and characters that I offered the kids to draw on their faces. I just taped the orange poster to the table. However, I was getting more custom requests than anything, lol The kids wanted huge butterflies that covered their eye on one side. Some wanted both eyes done. Of course I had a glitter stick to add some glitter to the face painting when I was done.
They turned out okay. I am not a professional in that department by any means. You could also use stencils if you can't do this very well.
Or watch some tutorials online and see how to do some. I bought an orange poster board and wrote "Pumpkin Toss" on the front of it. I drew 6 small pumpkins and one large pumpkin holding a ring toss on the poster board.
