EXTENDED!!! Carnival Game Contest

The Tiger Trot Family Fun Day Carnival will be held on the large field in front of the school from 10:00am-2:00pm. There will be a fun obstacle course, games, crafts, concessions and much more!

We would like to extend an opportunity for our students and families to be active participants in this fundraising event. If interested, families can choose a carnival game to build and help run during the Carnival. All family-built games will be entered to win the "Best Game Award". The judging panel will be made up of CES teachers and staff and the winner will receive bragging rights and an Amazon gift card.

Here’s a list of games that would be fun and easy to build with your family or partner up with other families to build a game for the event.

Paper Airplane Toss
Tic Tac Toe
Ring Toss
Stop and Throw
Putt Putt Golf
Plinko
Golf Mini Skeeball
Football Tire Toss
Tic Tac Throw
Fish Cup Game
Submit an Original Game Idea!

Game guidelines and rules

Must be personally responsible for all materials for carnival games.
Builders can submit a reimbursement form to the PTO for up to $25 to help cover the cost of building materials.
Use sturdy materials. Please construct your game to withstand over 100 children playing the game on the grassy field in front of the school. Use materials such as plywood or other materials of similar strength as a base for the game.
If possible, please bring extra materials (i.e. ping pong balls for a fish toss game, rings for ring toss, an extra football for a football toss, etc.) and be prepared to repair your game if something comes loose or breaks.
Do not make your game too small; remember, you want your game to stand out and withstand a lot of players.
Make your game colorful.
Grab a friend or two and work together to create your game.
Be creative and have fun! Don't be afraid to come up with your own spin on a traditional game. You're building it; make it your own!

Deadline for entries is Friday, March 6th!!
