ENTERTAINMENT: Set up booths for different games for children to play, such as ring toss, balloon dart, duck pond, sand art, and face painting. You will need prizes for each of these games. Get blank rolls of carnival tickets and write the names of your games on them. Determine how many tickets you will need based on the number of children attending and the number of times you want each child to play the game.
