ROCK THE BOAT - CARNIVAL Game!

ROCK THE BOAT - SETUP & DIRECTIONS

Supplies for Rock the Boat

1 Toddler Pool Filled with three or so inches of water
24 Floating Foam Boats
Permanent Marker
Consolation Prizes and Top Prizes for the winners

Game Set Up:

Before your carnival, use your permanent marker and mark the boats 1 - 12 twice. (You are setting up a matching game, so if you have more boats, you will need to have an even number of boats and mark the boats with numbers that match)

How to Play the Rock the Boat Carnival Game:

The goal of this game is to choose two boats and match the numbers on the bottom of each ship to win a prize!

Carnival players are given three chances to pick two sailboats with matching numbers on their bottom. If the numbers on the two boats match, they win a prize!
Each player has three chances to match the ducks. So, each player may pick 2 different ducks up to 3 times to see if they can come up with a matching set!
Toddlers especially love this game, and it is also a twist on a very traditional carnival game - the duck pond!

Like the duck pond, this game will attract preschool children, so be sure to have some toddler-safe prizes (like mini packages of goldfish) for your little players!

Additional Hints & Tips:

Warning: With all water games, be sure to have an adult present with this game at all times once you add water to the pool. Also, for more information regarding young children and water safety, click here to see more from the Consumer Products Safety Commission.
