SPIN A PRIZE - SETUP & DIRECTIONS

(The below gif/video shows a spinning pumpkin face on a board to choose a number)

Supplies for Spin A Prize:

Pumpkin Spinning Wheel with 8 – 15 (or more) Numbers or make your own
A Long Wooden Board painted with numbers sections to correspond with your spinner (see photo above)
Two long tables (or three if chosen) – Prize Table to display prizes
Assorted candies as consolation prizes (for safety – no hard candies)
A large variety of donated* or purchased toys worth about $1 - $3 dollars retail each*

Game Set Up:

Set up your tables either end to end if you have two tables or in a "U" shape if you have three tables and a large spinner with 12+ numbers.

How to Play the Spin-A-Toy Carnival Game:

Children pay for tickets (typically 2 - 4 tickets or what is equivalent to about $.50 - $1) for a chance to be the winner of an assortment of top prizes.

Children choose a number from the wooden board and stand in front of the number. Carnival volunteers put a piece of candy on the number the child has chosen to show the number taken. After at least six children have chosen a number (10 or more for a larger board with 15 spaces), the carnival volunteer spins the wheel.

When the wheel comes to a complete stop, the winner is the child whose number matches the number on the wheel.

All children get to keep their consolation candy and the winner gets to choose a toy from the top prizes table.

Alternate Playing Directions:

This game can also be played where numbers on the wheel coordinates to a specific prize. Using a spinner with 12 numbers you may choose 6 different prizes that coordinate to the wheel numbers.

For Example:

Numbers 1 or 7 = Fall Bracelet
Numbers 2 or 8 = Pumpkin Bubble Gum
Numbers 3 or 9 = Fall themed Mini Spring Toy
Numbers 4 or 10 = Glow necklace
Numbers 5 or 11 = Wiggle Snake
Numbers 6 or 12 = Top Prize - Monster Face Ball

Note:The spinner we sell sometimes tends to have a favorite area of the wheel in which to land. So, please test your spinner and make sure it lands on the numbers evenly if you are setting up your game with the alternate playing directions.
