Activities for a Circus Party:
- Clothes Pin Drop
Classic game where children take turns dropping a clothes pin into a jar or container. - Can Toss
Collect six plastic or cardboard, like sized containers (pingles, oatmeal …). Decorate or wrap in colorful paper then stack three on the bottom, two in the center and one on top. Have children take turns trying to knock down the pyramid of containers. Each child should get 2 try’s. - Egg Pond
Fill a large deep baking dish or a small child’s pool with water. Using about 15 plastic Easter eggs, write the numbers 1, 2 or 3 inside each egg with permanent marker. Close the eggs and float in the water. When a child selects an egg, they get a number of tickets equal to the number inside the egg. - Lollypop Tree
Use a large styrofoam cone or block, and about 25 lollypops. Mark the end of the stick on about 15 of the lollypops. If a child selects a lollypop with a marked end they receive a ticket (and the lollypop) option: use different color markings to signify 1, 2 or 3 tickets. - Carnival mask
Use the outline to cut masks out of fun foam. Have the children decorate with feathers, glitter, puff paint. When finished attach elastic string. - Jelly Bean Guess
Who ever guesses a number closest to the actual number takes the jar of Jellly Beans home. - Face painting & Tattoo booth
Face painting supplies can be purchased at JoAnn Fabrics. Inexpensive Circus Tattoos are available at Birthday in a Box. - Basketball throw
If you already have a basketball hoop set up – use it for the party. - Popcorn Stand
Use plastic cups so each child can scoop popcorn out of the bowl by themselves. - Ice Cream Cone Dip
Set out several bowls with colored sprinkles, chocolate sprinkles, fruit loops so that children can add toppings to their ice cream cup or cone. Note: This could also be used for decorating cupcakes. - Ticket Redemption Center
This will be the highlight of the party if you are using tickets for winners at the different game booths. Allow the children enough time to select prizes at the end of the party. This will serve as their goody bag.
