Clothespin Drop - DIY Kids Party Game!

Use a Decorated Water Jug for Game.

Kids Love to Win Long Armed Apes!

CLOTHESPIN DROP - SETUP & DIRECTIONS

Supplies for Clothespin Drop Game:

Large jug with small opening (we used a clear 1-gallon water jug)
Wrapping paper & tape or other decorations for the clear water jug
Medium Sized Colorful Clothespins (You will want 50 or more clothespins to prevent from slowing the game)
Smallish Hula Hoop (as shown) or sidewalk chalk to prevent kids from standing right over the jug
1 medium container to hold the clothes pins for your game
Duct tape (for under the jug) or other weights for inside the jug if this is used outside on a breezy day!
Carnival prizes

Game Set Up:

Well before your party, decorate your jug, and gather all the other supplies so you are ready to set up this game booth similar to our example above.

How to Play the Clothespin Drop Game:

Each player has 4 chances to drop a clothespin into the jug.
Players win a top prize if they are able to get one of the clothespins in the decorated jug!

This game is harder than it looks so for your carnival themed birthday party with younger children, you may wish to allow players to have as many chances until they get in a clothespin so all children get a prize!:)

Additional Hints & Tips:

Note: This game is perfect for a indoor carnival party! So... even in bad weather this game is ready to keep kids entertained indoors!
