New Ideas for simple games at fetes/shows

Hi has anyone seen or orgamised some simple games to run at shows and fetes etc

we have a splat the rat ,

picking up some boats out of a paddling pool with magnets on stick and string  we had a duck set but they started sinking !!

park the mini where small mini toys run down a gentle slope in through an opening in a wooden garage with the door opening just wider than the mini

we did have a model of a mini with holes cut into it in which buckets are put to throw balls into but now the paint is faded and is a bit big for small space


has anyone got any other simple idea,s   thanks

Berties balls and buckets could be made smaller or im happy to repaint it

lucky dip is small and easy, just 2 large boxes (1 boys and 1 girls) filled with little treasures, small token gifts like small sweets, little toys (now the BEST are the wonderful treasures from christmas crackers) stuff the boxes with shreaded paper and dadaaa nice easy small games.

Hoop throwing - i think this is done with bottles and they win the bottle of drink, or you have bottles with sand in with points on them, as a bit of competitive fun. You could have a leaders board!

Name the teddy - always sure to win!!

What about the hook the duck game?

there are like card games where you have a pack of card all pinned to a board and people get a couple of goes to pick and card and if they get a picture card they win

Guess how many sweets in a jar or coins in a pot and they win the pot

Tombola - but you need donated bits for this but an easy fun stall

I think im all out of ideas

if you have a board with holes drilled into it .........big enough to hold lollys .............then you paint a colour on the bottom of some of the lollys if some one picks 1 out with colour on the bottom they win a prize such as packet of sweets

thanks for those ideas im sure we will be able to think of some more

Did you have any luck with the spinning thing.

no we didnt use that i think it needs lots of people to place bets on football teams and where the wheel stops is the winner

i was hoping for where the paying participant perhaps just a child does the activity ie wack the rat or controls the mini car  make them win or loose does that make sense rather than betting on something they have no control of  

but i will ask if we could borrow it for the big sheep

and as this is the only thread not to mention the MIL please dont suggest a ducking stool  

We've got hoops for hoopla and some blocks to put prizes somewhere

A smaller version is an egg crate (7x7 or suchlike) with each of the egg places filled with sand, and a bit of a drinking straw stuck in each one. Pull out the straw(s) with a colour on and win a prize. Minimal space required.

oh lovely we could put some small packets of sweets or some keyrings on them if Terry still has some for the big sheep thingy
