Gingerbread Golf

Christmas Carnival Game Idea - Gingerbread Golf

Supplies for Christmas Game - Gingerbread Golf:
Gingerbread Stand Up 5 feet tall! (we sell it at the bottom of the page)
Golf Putters - at least 2
4 - 6 Plastic Golf Balls
Homemade "Golf Greens" with design to sink a golf ball:
Wood boards, nails, and outdoor turf to cover boards and pvc pipes to keep balls on the greens
Consolation and top carnival prizes

How to Play:

Weeks before the carnival, have a woodworking adult construct the "golf greens" using building supplies and green outdoor turf and the pvc pipes. Also, take the Gingerbread Standup decoration and cut out a hole right at the doorway to add interest to this fun holiday game! (see the image above)

Very important - the volunteer will need to make a wood frame to support the Gingerbread sand up so that the decoration is able to be attached to the golf green and not fall over or blow down with wind if the game is played outside!

Children are given a putter and a golf ball. They will be told how many puts they get to get a top prize!

Depending upon how difficult your game is set up - choose your prize levels.

For example, if a player takes 2 puts or less to sink the ball, they receive a top prize (this will be rare!) If a child takes 3 puts, they receive the medium prize. If it takes more than 3 puts to sink the ball they receive a consolation prize.
