Carnival Party
We gave a ticket to each child after completing each game. (Then they can redeem each ticket at the end for a prize.) Each child receives a Plastic Popcorn Container to place their tickets. Then remove the tickets and give them prizes at the end of playing all games at the party.
Note: If parents are not invited to the party have a person to man each game/station.
