i have googled fete games and come up with these ideas what do you think

Fill a large tub with water and place coins on the bottom. Contestant drops coins into the water and if they completely cover a coin on the bottom they win a prize. This game is a lot more difficult than it looks.-- i like this one we could put a £2.00 coin in the bottom and ask people to drop 20ps in to lie ontop of the £2.00 and easy to do in perhaps a baby bath  

Three large boxes are set up with a person (child) in each box, on a signal each person at random picks a piece of fruit and holds it out of a hole in the front of the box. If all the pieces of fruit are the same the player wins a prize. This is a good event for children to help run and is not often seen at fetes so has a novelty value.--we could have two people there and ask the 3rd person to pay a 50p and if all thre lemons or apples are pulled out of the bag they could win a £1


Fill a tray with sand and place upturned eggshells in the sand. If the shell picked has a dot inside it the contestant wins a small prize.
Numbered stakes are set into the ground and the contestant tries to throw rope rings around the stakes. Prizes are awarded based on the number of points scored.not sure about this one but could work


Use a circular board divided into 8 colours with a spinning arrow. The contestant picks a colour and if the spinning arrow stops on the colour the contestant wins a prize. Alternatively place a prize on each of the colours and the contestant wins the prize pointed to by the arrow. now this is where we could use the wheely thing from work have the prizes on the coloured square or named football team and the person wins what ever is on the square where the wheel pointer ends there could be a £5.00 note in one square  

Bend stiff wire to produce a course for the contestant to move the hoop along. Wire a buzzer up to the wiggly wire course and the hoop so that if the hoop touches the wire a circuit is made and the buzzer sounds.  this one is always fun has anyone got one or could make one



sometimes my mind not only wanders it goes off on its own

This is a really simple fundraiser that is very easy to set up and run.

A number of pots are filled with sand.

In some a coin or small prize is placed in the bottom before the sand is added so that it is completely hidden.




People then choose a pot of sand which they pour through a garden riddle / sieve.
If they are lucky the prize will be revealed.

If not " Oh well they can always buy another pot

All good ideas but someone is going to be busy. I wish we were closer and could help more.

Some good ideas - I'm no good at thinking of things like that I'm afraid
