A good old circus party favorite has to be a carnival can beanbag toss, right?

Stack up these fun tin cans to form a pyramid, and let your guests have a go, throwing bean bags at them to knock them down.

Make a line on the ground with string or twigs so people know where to stand.
Each player gets three tries at throwing a bean bag at the cans. Each can is worth a point.

Keep score and whoever ends the game with the most points wins a prize!

Don't miss all these fun circus games too!

Another carnival theme classic is a duck shooting gallery, where everyone gets to step up and test their shooting skills by aiming at a duck.

Each player earns points for every duck they dunk and wins a prize according to their final score.

This shooting gallery comes with either a NERF gun or some bean bags.

Similar to the previous duck shooting gallery, for this carnival party game, instead of aiming at ducks, each player tries to knock down as many stars as they can so they can win a cool prize.

This game comes with a Nerf gun, but you can easily use a cork gun or a toy crossbow instead.

For more carnival fun, treat your guests to a trip to a tattoo booth where they can get tatted up with some temporary tattoo transfers.

Use some circus-inspired tattoos to match your theme!

Tic-Tac-Toe is a classic that everyone loves to play and is great for all ages.

Each player stands behind a line and gets 3 shots at throwing a ball into the slots.

The aim is to get a straight line, be it horizontal, vertical, or diagonal, so they win a prize!

This carnival combo set is just what you need if you’re planning on having some bean bag and ring toss games at your carnival party.

This 3-in-1 pack has everything you need for hours of fun: 10 colorful 5″ rings, 10 2″ bean bags, and 6 traffic cones.

Still looking for game ideas for your carnival party? "Pin the Nose on the Clown" is a classic and cool party activity. Blindfolded participants try to pin a red nose onto a clown poster, creating lots of laughter and memorable moments. Perfect for all ages, this game adds a playful touch and keeps everyone entertained.

A game of balloon shoot is always a blast!

Hang a bunch of colorful balloons in this stand and leave some darts out for your guests to have a go, seeing who can pop the most balloons!

The prize goes to whoever pops the most!

A Bacon run game is always such a laugh because you never know who’s going to win!

Each player has their own pig, which they turn on and place on the track.

The first pig to reach the finish line and knock over an apple wins.

The game comes with 4 pigs and 4 wooden red apples.

A ring toss is another carnival classic party game where the player gets a set number of rings.

The aim is to get as many rings as possible on each peg to win a prize.

This next game is a must-have at a carnival party.

Each player gets a couple of tries at tossing a bean bag into the hole of a cornhole board for maximum points to win a prize.

It’s such a fun game that everyone is going to want to have a try!

Check out this awesome clown fabric toss game banner that you can hang.

To play, each person stands at a distance and tries (3 times) to toss a beanbag through the open holes in the banner.

The score corresponds to the numbers for each hole. Whoever gets the most points wins a prize.

A hoop shoot is another carnival classic, where each player aims for the hoop from a distance to win a cool prize.

Everyone is going to want to try this!

Ten Pin Bowling is a blast!

Each one of the two players must try to knock down as many pins as they can and whoever gets the highest score wins.

If they manage to knock down all of them on the 1st try then that’s called a “strike” and they win a fab prize.

This next game is similar to Ten Pin Bowling, but in Spill the Milk, each player has one toss to try and knock down all 3 milk bottles off the pedestal.

Whoever wins gets the prize!

The Duck Pond Game is a fun and cool party activity for guests of all ages. Participants pick floating ducks from a water-filled pond, each marked with a number corresponding to a prize.

This simple yet engaging game adds excitement and guarantees smiles, making it a perfect addition to any carnival-themed event.

Get ready to infuse your carnival party with boundless laughter and friendly competition as your guests jump around in a Potato Sack Race.

These carnival potato sacks will bring out the inner child in everyone, creating unforgettable moments and an atmosphere brimming with pure joy.

The Ball Roller Game is a must-have activity that promises fun for everyone. Players roll balls up a ramp, trying to land them in numbered slots to score points.

Combining skill and chance, this exciting game creates an engaging and competitive atmosphere, perfect for carnival-themed events.

You can’t have a carnival and not have a photo booth where your guests can happily fool around while having their photos taken. Treat your guests to some face painting to make your photos extra special!

It’s a great keepsake they can take home to remember their fab day!

Stand this vintage wooden carnival ticket booth proudly at the entrance of your party.
