Supplies for Carnival Games - Dinosaur Dig: Egg filled with mini Dinosaurs (one for each player) - see info below to order
Shallow container filled with Play Sand
Carnival Prizes – consolation and top prizes
How to Play: Before the carnival, fill out small slips of paper with the prize numbers. For example, if you ordered 72 bone candy packets and 48 dinosaur puzzles, you would have 72 pieces of paper with ”#1" and 48 pieces of paper with a "#2" on them. Now remove the dinosaurs from some eggs (keep for next year) and replace with either slip of paper.
Children dig in the sand a pick an egg. If their egg contains a dinosaur - they get to keep their egg and the dinosaur that comes inside. If their egg contains a slip of paper, they turn in their egg and the piece of paper for the prize for that number.
Note: Be sure to keep the empty eggs and the dinos you removed for next year’s carnival! Each child only wins one prize at this booth! Also, the eggs seal very well so have extra adults to open eggs for kids.
Safety: Young children like to play this game - have some toys or small packages of toddler cookies and ask the parent if they would prefer the preschool toy. You can simply tell the child that their egg is magical and look at their neat prize!
