WITCHES BREW HALLOWEEN GAME - SETUP & DIRECTIONS
(The short Carnival Savers video/gif shows three cauldrons of different sizes, a sign that says Witches Brew, and a stuffed frog being tossed into several cauldrons.)
Supplies for Witches Brew Game:
 3 Assorted Sizes of Witches Cauldrons or Black Kettles (see items below)
6 - 12 Stuffed Animal Frogs (or Plush Bats) for tossing (you may wish to have some extras as prizes)
Mini Plastic Pumpkins with lights (below)
LED Underwater Lights (mini battery tea light candles do not fit!)
Halloween Prize Buckets (optional)
Sign and Halloween Party Zone Tape as game decoration (optional)
Carnival Prizes - Halloween-themed prizes or fall prizes are great fun!
Game Setup:
Before your event, place the 3 witch cauldrons in a grouping as shown above.
Add an underwater LED light to each Plastic Pumpkin Bucket and use this as a stand-behind line.
The lights add weight so they will not blow around with the wind.
You may also wish to make another sand behind the line further back for older children to make the game
more challenging for the "big kids."
Note: On a windy day, you can add water to the tiny pumpkins so they are weighted down, which will keep the stand-behind line in place.
How to Play the Witches Brew Carnival Game:
Players are given 3 stuffed frogs to toss into the witches' cauldrons.
A player wins a "top prize" by getting all three frogs into one of each of the cauldrons for the "witches brew"!
Players try to toss a frog into the "witches' brew" in order - starting with the closest to the farthest.
They can toss the frogs or bats in any order - but to win the top prize - they must have a frog in each kettle.
1. Players can win prizes based on the amount of total number of frogs or bats that land in the cauldrons
How Players Win a Prize:
0 or 1 Frog into the brew = Consolation Prize
2 Frogs into different cauldrons = Middle Prize
3 Frogs in CAULDRONS - ONE FROG in EACH CAULDRON = Top Prize
2. Players can win prizes for each cauldron to toss a frog or bat in.
Each Black Kettle is coordinated to a prize, and kids win a prize for each kettle. Sometimes, kids want the top prize - so they use all their frogs or bats to try to get them into the smallest cauldron. So keep that in mind. Generally, the prizes are consolation for the largest cauldron and then move up to the top prize for the smallest black kettle.
For Example:
Largest Cauldron = Halloween Friendship Bracelet
Medium Cauldron = Glow in the Dark Martian Finger Tip
Smallest Cauldron = Mini Stuffed Animal Black Cat
Remember that if you set up your game using this method, you will generally need many prizes for Kettles one, two, and three as these are won for most players. When purchasing prizes, ensure one kettle has consolation prizes so you can save money on this booth.
Additional Hints & Tips:
Tip: Run two games simultaneously for larger Halloween parties and Halloween Carnivals (400 kids and up)!
Also - these fun plastic Black Kettles can also be used as Prize Buckets for this and other carnival games!
