Unique Carnival Game Idea – Nose Pick
Supplies for Carnival Game – Nose Pick:
Handmade Nose Pick Carnival Game. This unique Carnival Game is a favorite of kids and is sure to make Mom and Dad smile and say “yuck” all at the same time! To make the carnival game you need plywood on a stand. The “3-D Nose” is made using paper mache. Two holes are drilled through the plywood -- one in each nostril.
Homemade Green Slime (or purchased slime -- see below)
2 Small/Medium Plastic Buckets (one for the slime, one for your carnival prizes)
A variety of carnival prizes all about the same value. We suggest sticky small toys like sticky hands, glitter putty and anything gooey.
How to Play Carnival Game Nose Pick:
Before the carnival, have the green slime ready in the medium sized pail. All carnival players are asked to first stick their hand in the left nostril (when they stick their hand in, they are really sticking their hand into the green slime bucket the volunteer is holding up for them to feel) Kids think this is great! Lots of eyewwws, and grosses are heard!! Next, children stick their hand into the right nostril and pull out a prize. (The volunteer is holding up the pail with the carnival prizes for the child to choose from). (See more notes below.)
Yucky Carnival Prizes Suggestions for the Nose Pick Game
We debated whether we should put this gross carnival idea up on the website. But, after talking to numerous PTA volunteers at a convention, we decided this was a carnival game was so unique it had to be shared with others. (Please talk with your committee and/or the school principal before adding this new game to your carnival!)
This game was handmade by a volunteer at a Texas school and has been shared by other schools in the area. It is a great idea to share carnival games with other schools/churches close by!
