HOCUS POCUS - SETUP & DIRECTIONS
(Short Carnival Savers video/gif shows six black witch hats arranged in a triangle on the floor with rings tossed around them for points.)
Supplies for Hocus Pocus:
 6 Witches Hats (and stuffing to keep the top point)
6 Mini Colorful Cones (to keep the hats in place)
Stand behind lines (We used a pennant decoration supported by buckets with weights and balloon sticks)
12 or More Rings to Toss
Ticket Box & Game Sign
Consolation Prizes and Top Prizes for the winners
Game Setup:
This game is fast to setup before your event. Place six cones on the ground as shown in our image, and add a witch hat (stuffed with tissue or even a crumbled-up brown paper sack) on top of each cone.
Next, you will want to set up a stand-behind line. We used a Halloween pennant banner (sorry, this item has been discontinued). Still, we have a witches' silhouette pennant banner (shown below) that you can string across the front of your game using weighted buckets with balloon sticks as the support.
Just like all of our games - we recommend you set up the game and test it out before the kids start arriving to play!
How to Play the Hocus Pocus Carnival Game:
Players are given 3 Rings with a chance to hoop the top of as many witches' hats as possible!
You can set up the winning however you want, but you may wish to give higher points if a child hoops the witch's hat at the back of the game or as shown below.
0 rings on hats = a consolation prize
1 - 2 rings on hats = a medium prize
3 rings on hats = a top prize
Additional Hints & Tips:
Note: The Loop Rings are a real challenge as they fly like frisbees, and getting a loop in a witch's hat is difficult!
If this game is for younger children (preschool to under 8 years old), consider using larger tossing rings that are easier to toss!
Older children and teens enjoy carnival games that require skill to win - so this is a great Halloween game for teens, too!
