Carnival Game Idea - Holiday Christmas Lollipop Tree
Supplies for Carnival Games - Christmas Lollipop Tree:
Christmas Lollipop Tree -- 5 feet tall! (we sell it at the bottom of the page) or other handmade holiday lollipop tree
One lollipop for each carnival player (or party player) - remember, sometimes children play more than one time each
1 or 2 other top carnival prizes - typically a large colorful lollipop or stuffed animal you can display
Permanent colored marker(s) to mark the bottom of the lollipop sticks
How to Play:
Before the carnival (or party), count the number of top prizes you wish to give out at this winter holiday carnival booth.
Mark the end of the stick of one lollipop for each grand prize. Do not put all of the top prize lollipops in the tree in the beginning - just to make sure you have some top prizes for the end of the carnival too -- so have your volunteers add some top winning lollipops to the tree every hour or so.
Each child chooses a lollipop from the lollipop tree -- they always keep the lollipop they choose but... if the lollipop has a colored mark on the end of the stick, then the child gets to keep the lollipop they picked AND a top carnival prize!
Safety Note: This booth is popular for preschool children. Plan on having a few individual bags (or boxes) of animal crackers on hand. If a young child wins, let the parents decide if the toddler receives the top prize or a small box of animal crackers or cookies.
Holiday Prizes Will Make Kids Think Santa Arrived Early this Year!
