..Carnival Games
This is just a sample list of the carnival games you can use.  Be creative and come up with more.  What I like to do is give the child two chances at the game.  If they win, then I give them a piece of candy.  If they don't win, then I give them a piece of candy.  The object is for the kids to get candy (which is what they would get if they were out trick-or-treating) and to have FUN.
 
1. DARTS : cork board, 2 darts, balloons. 

Tape the balloons to the cork board, and give the kids two chances to pop a balloon.

2. CAN WHAM : 2 bean bags, 6 cans (filled with sand.) 

Stack the cans one on top of the other, then using the two bean bags, try to knock all of the cans over.

3. RING TOSS : 3 rings, ? bottles. 

Set up the bottles, and give the kids three chances to ring one of the bottles.  Make one of the rings a special color for a double prize.

6. PUTT - PUTT : 1 putter, 2 golf balls, 1 hole (a plastic cup, or practice putting hole.) 

Give the kids two chances to putt the ball into the hole. For added difficulty and fun, build a ramp for the ball to go over.

*** If your room floor is not carpeted, it is best to get a long piece of carpet for this game.

Throw the bean bag threw one of the holes.  1 piece of candy for the big hole, 2 pieces of candy for the medium hole, 3 pieces of candy for the small hole.

** If the child makes the big or medium hole on the first try, give them the choice of keeping the candy, or giving it back for a chance at the small hole.
