carnival players cannot walk behind this booth if a child accidentally overthrows a dart.

How to Play
Before your holiday party or Christmas carnival, make your Christmas Tree Balloon Pop Game with the supplies listed above.

Set up this booth with a long table as your "stand behind" line for safety. This will ensure only adults can be handling the darts and no
children will be behind the "line of fire"!

Also, be sure to request the assistance of adults or teenagers blow up the balloons a day or so before the carnival. We recommend a balloon pump, an air compresser or of course you can blow them up the old fashioned way. (Note: please see safety warnings at the bottom of the page)

To play this traditional carnival game, children or carnival players are given 3 darts to throw per game.

Children "win" this carnival game by popping a balloon by throwing a dart to the board!

How Players Win a Prize:
No Balloons Popped = Consolation Prize
1 - 2 Balloons Popped = Medium Prize

3 Balloons Popped = a Top Prize

Of course, if you want to keep things simple, you can pass out a lower prized top prize for anyone who pops at least one balloon. All other players receive a conslation prize!

If you choose to use sharp darts in this game, please follow the consumer reports dart safety suggestions in this PDF and be aware of balloon safety too! http://www.cpsc.gov/PageFiles/122476/281.pdf you can download for assistance.
