Supplies for Carnival Games - Fishing Booth: 1. Short Pole with about 1 yard of string attached to the pole with a clothespin at the end to clip on the prize.
2. A type of screen (blue sheet, wood frame etc) that children will toss their "hooks" over to "fish".
3. Carnvial Prizes - consolation, and 2 -3 others. Fish or ocean themed carnival prizes are most fun for this booth!
How to Play: Children choose a fishing pole and swing the "hook" over the screen.
Volunteers hidden behind the screen clip on a prize and then give the line a few tugs.
Children "reel in" their prize by pulling their line back over the screen.
Helpful Hint: Make sure their poles and lines are not too long - they only need to be 2 - 3 feet in length. Practice with a few children of different ages to see what works best. Safety: This is a booth that young children enjoy as well - Use a special colored and labeled pole for the toddlers. Be sure you have some prizes safe for the little folks - individually packaged fish crackers are perfect for toddlers!
"What a Catch" for your next Carnival Fishing Booth!!!!
