Carnival Booth Idea: Cake Walk

Supplies Needed for Carnival Booth - Cake Walk:
Tables with tablecloths to display cake walk goodies
Boom Box with Music on CD or Tape
Space Enough to place numbers on the floor (8 - 12) in a circle shape for carnival game players (see photo below) For Outside Carnival Booths- may use sidewalk chalk for numbers or card stock (laminated) attached with duct tape For Inside Carnival Booths - pieces of paper (laminated) with large numbers - taped securely to the floor Carnival Spinner (sold below) or Bowl with corresponding numbers to be drawn Homemade Cakes, Cookies & Treats* (Donated by stores, or baked by volunteers from the school) Consolation Prizes - best to provide a small piece of candy for those who do not win a treat

How to Play Cake Walk Carnival Game:
Set a minimum number to play. For example, if you have 8 numbers on the ground, you may decide at least 6 players needed per game. Players stand on one of the floor numbers. When the music is played the participants walk around the circle on the floor numbers. When the music stops, so do the players. The carnival booth volunteer then spins the spinner (or draws out a number from the bowl) to see who wins! The carnival player whose number is drawn wins a packaged goodie! All other players receive a consolation prize.

This is the most popular booth at our school – grown-ups and kids play this awesome carnival game for a chance to win a baked treat! We charge 75 cents to play the cake walk carnival game.

Note: for larger schools and churches (350 + students) consider running 2 cake walk games at the same time. You would have 2 circles of numbers and spin or draw one number and have 1 winner from each circle!
