Depending on your location, a good carnival will be both fun and tasty. Here are some criteria to use when judging your festival:
Choosing a Theme
Having a carnival theme for your next event can be fun and easy to pull off. You can use carnival-themed party rentals to create a fun atmosphere. Carnival-themed decorations feature bright colours, exciting games, and fun foods. They are easy to rent and can be adapted to fit any event’s needs. Read on for a few more ideas for creating a carnival party.
Getting Food and Supplies Donated
A successful carnival relies on volunteer staffing. Parents of younger children may only be able to help with the setup and cleanup of the event. Parents with older children may be able to get their students to volunteer as well. Other parent groups have used teachers as volunteers since they do not want to put extra pressure on the already overloaded faculty. Fort Belvoir’s carnival, for example, included high school football players dressed in their team uniforms. Getting food and supplies donated is an important part of making a good carnival.
Creating a Dance Club Tent
If you want to create a dance club at your next carnival, you can make it happen by renting a dance club tent from a manufacturer. If you need the tent to be large enough, you can contact a company that specializes in tent rental. These companies will be happy to design a dance club tent and set it up for you. Once you have the tent, you can choose from a variety of different decorations and hire performers.
Setting up a pool Noodle Toss
One way to make a pool noodle toss game even more fun is to purchase colored pool noodles from the dollar store. You can cut the noodle into segments that are four or five inches in length. Each segment can serve as a target and can be carried in a fun way. Older kids will enjoy following the rules, and younger ones will simply want to toss the noodle.
Creating a ping pong Toss Station
To create a ping pong toss game for a carnival, gather up some recycled plastic cups and fish bowls. Then, hot glue the plastic cups to a large piece of cardboard. Make sure that there are no gaps between the cups. Put ping pong balls in each one, and players should attempt to knock the balls into the designated buckets in the shortest amount of time. For a larger prize, you can purchase special coloured cups or other items that resemble goldfish.
Judges for Carnival
For carnivals such as Bridgwater, each year the Carnival Committee invites volunteers to be judges. This year, 82 people will participate and serve as judges for the parade. The number of entries is larger than ever, so judging is a huge undertaking. The Carnival Committee decided to create a new judging system this year, which allows judges to focus on the different categories. The new system will allow judges more time to study each entry. The judges’ roles are important, and the Carnival Committee thanks its volunteers for their commitment.
