Make this Game:

Depending on your supplies, you will need to construct your Balloon Dart board with a way to secure balloons quickly on the board so they can be replaced in between players.

For a plywood board, generally you will need to add some foam or cork to allow to easily use push-pins to attach balloons.

For the Pegboard, typically folks push the balloons through the holes - but you may need a simple tool (like a knitting hook) to make that job faster - so try it out before your event!

Game Setup:

A few days before the carnival, have adults or teenagers inflate the balloons using a hand pump is the safest way!

NOTE: children under the age of 8 should never inflate balloons.(see safety information below)  Also, please instruct teenagers to remind them to hold the balloons carefully while inflating 

Also, this game should be setup so that folks cannot walk behind the game and be hit by an overthrown dart! 

How to Play:

Carnival players are given three dart for a chance to pop a balloon and win a prize! They win a top prize if they pop a balloon with the dart. Of course, everyone at least wins a consolation prize.

Important Safety Information:

Safety Note: Please follow all safety suggestions from the Consumer Products Safety Commission PDF for balloons. Please also follow all safety suggestions for Sharp Darts here from the Consumer Products Safety Commission.
