How to Prepare for the Carnival Game Dice Roll:
Carnival players are given 2 dice to throw. Players roll the dice and using the number from the highest roll (so if someone rolls a 2 and a 5 they keep the 5) that is the number of chances the carnival player has to enter into the drawing for the top cash prize!
All players receive a consolation prize after the roll. It is fun to have the consolation prize be “money themed” like Bubble Gum Coins or $100 bookmarks! (See below)
This is a fun carnival game for kids they seem to get really excited about the idea of winning $50 or $100!
Most carnivals announce the drawing about the last 15 minutes of the carnival and have people gather around to see who wins. (The winner does not have to be present – just make sure you have first and last name and phone number to reach your winner.) Also, if your school or church does a raffle drawing you can add this drawing as well. Choosing a winner before an excited carnival crowd is great fun for kids and parents alike! The host may even pick a child from the crowd to draw out a winner from the bowl!
Note: If you have a large carnival (500-600 plus kids expected) – you may want to have 2 sets of dice going at a time so kids are not waiting in a long line to play!
Also, be sure to spread the word for the company who sponsored your top cash prize for this game – you can make a sign at the table – it may help secure your supporter.
