Carnival Activity Idea - Moonwalk or Big Slide
Carnival Set Up:
Hire a company that has large inflatables to set up a large moonwalk or slide.
Because most companies do not offer an attendant, you will need to have volunteers there to oversee children – limit the number jumping at one time – or have the children go single file up the slide.
When calling around, be sure to verify that the company you are evaluating has current business insurance - ask for the phone number to verify. Also, check references- make sure other schools were happy with their service!
Things You Should Think About First:
If a company has something totally different from the usual inflatables, it might be worth the additional price. For example, one neighboring school had an inflatable laser tag game. This cost more than the typical moonwalk, but it seemed to be the hit of the carnival!
Charge .50 cents - $1.00 for typical moonwalks or slides. For something really cool like laser tag – you could charge 2-3 dollars to get in. Be sure to shop around for price. (Also, don’t forget to ask for discounts – it never hurts to ask).
Notes: Be careful not to spend too much on this booth – most kids have enjoyed moonwalks at birthday parties and other events for years. We have found that this is not a popular booth compared to many others that cost less!
