Carnival games are a delightful addition to any event, infusing a lively, festive atmosphere that appeals to guests of all ages. Whether you’re planning a company picnic, a community fair, or a private party, renting carnival games can turn a simple gathering into a memorable extravaganza. Here’s a guide to some popular carnival games you can rent for your next event.
1. Ring Toss
One of the most quintessential carnival games, the ring toss challenges players to throw rings over bottles or pegs from a distance. It’s simple yet addictive and can be themed to fit your event—use soda bottles for a vintage feel or glow-in-the-dark rings for evening events.
2. Bean Bag Toss
Also known as cornhole, this game involves players taking turns throwing bean bags at a raised platform with a hole at the far end. Scoring varies by how close to the hole the bag lands or if it goes into the hole. This game is great for all ages and can be easily branded with logos or themes.
3. Duck Pond
Perfect for younger children, the duck pond game involves picking up floating ducks from a water-filled basin. Each duck has a number on its bottom corresponding to various prizes. It’s a gentle, no-lose game that ensures every child walks away happy.
4. Balloon Dart Throw
Add some excitement with a balloon dart throw. Players throw darts at balloons pinned on a board, trying to pop them to win prizes. This game can be adjusted for difficulty by varying the dart sharpness and the balloons’ arrangement.
5. Fishbowl Ping Pong
In this game, participants attempt to toss ping pong balls into fishbowls filled with water. It’s challenging and fun, and you can offer different prizes depending on which bowl the ball lands in.
6. Bottle Stand-Up
This game involves using a fishing rod equipped with a ring to stand a bottle up from a flat position. It requires a mix of patience and skill, making it a hit among older children and adults.
7. Shooting Gallery
For a more adventurous game, consider a shooting gallery. Players use air guns to hit targets, typically set up with rows of moving or static objects. This game can range from simple setups with cans on a fence to elaborate scenes featuring themed targets.
8. Giant Jenga
Turning the classic table-top game into a larger-than-life experience, Giant Jenga is fantastic for groups. Players take turns removing oversized blocks from a tower, trying not to be the one who makes it topple.
