School Carnival Time!

Spring is on its way and with it comes the tradition of the school carnival. Carnivals are a great way for students, families and faculty to come together and celebrate. Whether it is used to boost school spirit, as a fundraiser, a community service event, or educational spotlight, your carnival can shine.



Some tips when planning a school carnival:

1. Outline your main objective.

2. Make a time line.

3. Set up committees.

4. Recruit volunteers.

5. Plan and ready entertainment, games, prizes, food, decorations and supplies.

6. Form a day of event schedule.

7. Have fun!



Think back to when you were a kid. What did you love about a carnival. Lots of games and prizes? The smell of cotton candy and popcorn? Having your face painted? A clown making balloon animals? All of this and more are a part of what makes a great carnival.

Red and white stripe booths full of games like bean bag toss, ring toss, pick a pop, duck pond, tic tac toe, ball roll and plinko are a great way to make a carnival come alive. A high striker gives an authentic midway feel with its classic bell ring after the hammer falls. Pucker Powder Candy Art is a yummy treat to add along with fresh popped popcorn and newly spun cotton candy. Add a bounce house to round it out and the kids will be busy for hours. Traditional elements such as Bingo and a cake walk are fun too!

Theme Parties Pack a Punch!

How many parties have you been to that you really remember days, weeks or even months after the fun ended? If you want your friends and colleagues to talk about what a great party you had long after its over, think about a theme party. Continuity of a theme leaves a solid impression on your guests. It gets them involved right from the beginning and carries them through to the end. A fun theme idea in tune with the big blockbuster pirates movies is to create a pirate theme adventure party. Adults and children alike will take to swashbuckling and walking the plank with ease with a few creative ideas. A huge attraction like the Treasure of the Caribbean Obstacle Course will make a big impression with its oversize skull, parrott and trasure chest. This is a great visual piece as the focal point of the event. Take to the seas in the Buccaneer Pirate Adventure all in one unit for that authentic pirate ship look and feel. Under the Sea Bounce and Slide takes care of your little deck hands, and round it out with the Hooks Treasure Carnival Game. This carnival game is a great way to give out all those pirate themed prizes and souveniers everyone loves to have after a party. Of course this is just one example. Maybe a western theme is more to your liking? How about a water themed party on a hot summer day? Do you love cars and racing? The ideas are endless. Whatever your interest, there is always a great party out there just waiting to be planned for you.
