HOOP A TOY - SETUP & DIRECTIONSShort Carnival Savers video/gif shows large hoop rings being tossed over a sizeable stuffed animal on a crate. Supplies for Hoop a Toy School Game:
Super Easy Game Setup:Before the carnival, secure each large stuffed animal to a plastic crate or a box using the bungee cords or with string so the animals do not fall over of off their stands during the game. Set up your "stand behind lines," as the images show. Note: younger children should be allowed to move up closer. Important: The size of your hula hoops does matter! If the hoops are too large (say five or more inches larger than your crate or box holding the large stuffed animal), this game will be too easy, and you risk giving away your top prizes before the event is over. To remedy this, if your hoops are too large, we recommend that you have four stuffed animals, and kids must ring all four stuffed animals to win a top prize! If you are using this game for teenagers or adults, place the stuffed animals and crates on a long table to make the game even more challenging! How to Play the Hoop a Toy Carnival Game:Children are given three hoops to try to "ring" each stuffed animal to win the top prize. They receive a consolation prize if they do not "hoop" any stuffed animals. They receive a middle prize if they ring one or two stuffed animals. They get a top prize if they ring all three stuffed animals - typically a small stuffed animal - see examples below. Additional Hints & Tips:Note: As in the above image with the stuffed animal penguin, the large hoops must be flat on the ground for the "ring" to count. This game is a fantastic game for school carnivals! It is relatively inexpensive. For example, you could look at a resale shop for the gently used large stuffed animals, as they are simply used as game supplies and not as prizes. In addition, this game looks quite impressive as it is not a dinky, small game that is almost invisible at a large carnival! The kids would stand in line repeatedly for a chance to win a mini stuffed animal by hooping one big one - a very popular game at our event! This game is pretty challenging! Kids were so excited about winning a small stuffed animal as the top prize that they accidentally stood in front of our stand behind lines to try to make sure to hoop each stuffed animal! So have your volunteers remind kids to keep their toes behind the lines so the game is fair! |
