3. Do you have any ideas for the fair? I can't think of nothing.
Answers
Answer:
Asteroid Blaster
An easy sideshow for the kids to make. All you need is some very large water pistols and some empty soft drink bottles – 3 litre ones are good. The object of the game is to have a ball balancing on the top of the bottle and it has to be hit by a blast of water form the water pistol. If you dislodge the ball, you win a prize. Spray paint your bottles with whacky colours and make your balls look like little planets. Experiment with different balls – table tennis, golf etc. to find what suits the force from your water pistols. You don’t want everybody to win, but you also don’t want it to be too hard. You can vary the degree of difficulty – every ball has to be dislodged or only one.
Balloons
Either ask a sponsor to provide printed balloons and helium to give away or ask your local balloon shop to set up a stall.
Book Stall
second hand books and magazines are always popular – add DVD’s and videos to your stall to increase your range
Bust-a-Balloon
Great fun and easy to run, simply have balloons attached to a board with a number behind each board. As the punter busts the balloon they win the prize corresponding to the number behind. You can buy cheap toys as prizes and have a couple of major prizes for interest
Cake Stall
Send home empty cake boxes the last week of the Fair with requests for cakes to be delivered to school on the day before the Fair.
Coffee & Tea Stall
A must and with the popularity of special coffees, approach your local coffee shop with a view to setting up a cappuccino machine
Craft Stall
Set up a craft group months before the event to make craft items. If you can’t establish a craft group you can always scour yur local markets for a suitable stall and ask them to pay a percentage of takings. Craft stalls are particularly good if your Fair is on Mother's Day weekend. Think about dividing your craft items up - jams and pickles into a gourmet food stall, skin care and bathroom luxuries in a pamper stall, toys and baby clothes in a baby stall. You can also create themes around colours - a blue stall, a red stall, a pink stall.
Dunk-a-Teacher
Without a doubt one of the most popular activities with the kids! If you can't source a dunk tank, consider making your own stand for a wet sponge throw - just as effective!
Duck Pond
Fishing plastic ducks out of a pond is an age old favourite. Insert a little metal hoop into the mouth the duck and a small hook into the end of a bamboo rod. Number the base of each duck and make even numbers winners. You only need a small prize like a mini chocolate bar.
Face Painting
Always popular with the little kids. Select your designs in advance and make sure everyone can reproduce them. Photograph the designs and laminate the images – this makes it easy for the little ones to make their choice. Look at temporary tattoos for older children. You can also book in professional face painters who will pay you a percentage of their takings.
Flower Stall
Take a trip to the flower market the day before – you can make up bunches yourself or buy them ready made. If you don't live in a capital city with a flower market, source a local flower farm. Make sure you place your order well in advance to avoid disappointment.
Farmers Market
Think of having a farmers market at your Fair to attract extra visitors.
Gourmet Foods Stall
Pickles, jams and preservatives, gourmet biscuits and cakes, all very popular. This stall can compliment the craft stall.
Hope these helps u
