Ideas for Stalls
Amusement Rides
From jumping castles to major rides, they are a must have for any event.
Asteroid Blaster
An easy sideshow for the kids to make. All you
need is some very large water pistols and some empty soft drink bottles - 3
litre ones are good. The object of the game is to have a ball
balancing on the top of the bottle and it has to be hit by a blast of water
form the water pistol. If you dislodge the ball, you win a
prize. Spray paint your bottles with whacky colours and make your
balls look like little planets. Experiment with different balls - table
tennis, golf etc. to find what suits the force from your water pistols.
You don't want everybody to win, but you also don't want it to be too
hard. You can vary the degree of difficulty - every ball has to be
dislodged or only one.
Baby Animal Farms
Very popular with young children and a great stall to give the preschoolers to
organise. Several companies offer this service bringing a variety of
small animals suitable for children to feed and pat.
Balloons
Either ask a sponsor to provide printed balloons and helium to give away or ask
your local balloon shop to set up a stall. You can also look at a balloon
twister to provide entertainment.
Badge Stall
Hire a badge making machine - let children colour in their own artwork and then
make into a badge, always very popular.
Bubble Wands
These brightly coloured wands blow HUGE bubbles and are a big hit with all
ages. They are available through www.bubblewands.com.au. Make sure you
set your stall up on grass as they can become messy
Book Stall
second hand books and magazines are always popular - add DVD's and videos
to your stall to increase your range.
Bottle Stall
Collect empty bottles and jars and ask parents to donate items that can be used
to fill them and also ask parents to send in ready filled bottles.
A great safety idea is to empty the winning bottle contents into a paper bag -
much safer than having children running around carrying glass. Another
great idea is to use disposable food containers, like the ones they pack sushi
in. They are cheap to purchase and very safe.
You can also have a stall that is filled bottles - jams,
sauces, drinks, etc. You can wrap a $50, $20 and $10 note
around some bottles to make the major prizes. Depending upon the
number of bottles you have, you can either make every one a winner, or select
your ratio of wins to prizes. You can put winning numbers on
bottles, or you can make it that every even number drawn wins a
prize. Some ideas for filling bottles include:
Coloured pencils, crayons, small activity pad, felt pens,
beads with string or wire to make jewellery,
marbles, pencil sharpener, rubber, McDonalds toys
Hair-ribbons, scrunchies, clips, comb, brush
Sticky tape, drawing pins, small post it notes, white
board marker, paper clips, rubber bands
Lollies, chocolates
Home made jam or marmalade
Bath bombs, bath crystals, soap, hand cream,
Makeup - unused make-up samples cotton wool, cotton buds, lip gloss.
Nail file, nail polish, hand cream, nail clippers, cotton wool
Nails, screws, bolts, screw driver, tape measure
Small candles, potpouri
Bandaids, bandages, cotton wool, cotton buds, small scissors, antiseptic crèam
Quality bottles of oil, sauces, relishes, jams. (No alcohol)
Perfume, bath salts, bubble bath
Bust-a-Balloon
Great fun and easy to run, simply have balloons attached to a board with a
number behind each board. As the punter busts the balloon they win
the prize corresponding to the number behind. You can buy cheap toys as
prizes and have a couple of major prizes for interest - maybe a $5 note.
Cane Toad or
Cockroach races
Cane toads, cockroaches, whatever, we all hate the little so and so's - but
what a great fundraiser they make! You can eradicate the pests and make
some money at the same time.
BUT WE DO REMIND YOU, THEY ARE LIVING CREATURES AND YOU
CANNOT ABUSE THEM.
What you need to race them is a field of
runners. If you live in Queensland,
you'll have no shortage of cane toads, if you live in NSW, you'll have no
shortage of cockroaches - is somebody asking about Stage of Origin?
Gather up a decent number of the little b*****s. You
will need to identify them - maybe make a little jacket for the cane toad, or
mark with non-toxic face paint. You then offer these fine pedigrees
for sale at auction. Once they have been purchased, you are ready to
race. the new owner can take their purchase home with them after the
races or leave them to be dealt with humanely.
Charge an entry fee for each race, and give a percentage of
this back as prize money, say 25% for the first out of the circle and 10% for
the last - the balance of the monies is profit for your charity.
A circle is an ideal race track. Mark a decent sized
circle using a piece of string, a stake and some chalk - (we've all watched
Burke's Back Yard). A diameter of about three metres is ideal. Then
mark a small circle inside the larger one - 50cm should be about
right. Then you let the games begin. Keep your
thoroughbred stallions in a bucket or calico bag, let them go in the inner
circle and start yelling. They're off and racing ......
The winner is the first thoroughbred to break out of the big
circle.
You can run several races over the course of an
evening. Make sure you have someone ready to collect the
thoroughbred's after each race - you can also re-auction them after every race.
Remember,
it is highly illegal to run a book on any of these races and at the end of the
night you must dispose of your thoroughbreds in a humane manner.
The suggested method for cane toads is to place them in a plastic bag in a
freezer, where they will simply fall asleep in the cold and eventually pass
away. Cane toads are one of the biggest environmental pest ever
introduced into Australia,
they are slowly moving both north and south, sightings have already been
reported in Kakadu
National Park - an
ecological disaster in the making.
So have some fun and do a bit for the environment at the
same time.
What about a sponsored toad hunt..... now there's an idea.
Cake Stall
Send home empty cake boxes the last week of the fete with requests for cakes to
be delivered to school on the day before the fete. With new
food regulations is also a good idea to ask parents to include a list of
ingredients with the cakes. Check with your local authority
regarding health regulations as many councils now have a requirement that any
cakes that are sold must be prepared in a commercial kitchen. If this is
the case in your area, ask for ingredients to be donated and organise to have a
bake up in your school kitchen.
Cake Dance
This is a great idea to add some fun to your fete. Basically it
is a raffle, but your customers have to work to win their
prize! All you need is a nice cake that is the prize -
someone could make it, donate it whatever. Promote it
as a really special prize and the ticket holders have to be present at a
certain time for the dance. Offer only a limited number of
tickets, say 40 at $2.00 each.
When you sell all your tickets you have $80, you then get
all ticket buyers together and they stand around a circle standing on a number
(eg on a cardboard sheet) 40 numbers all up. You put
raffle tickets in the hat and get someone to pull out a number, that number is
then taken away and you get everyone to walk around the circle (to music) when
the music stops they jump on a number the person missing one misses
out!!! Just like musical chairs!!! Play until there is only one
person left who is the winner of the cake and your committee is $80 in profit
if the cake is donated.
It may take a little time to play, but it will provide a lot
of fun for people attending your event, and of course you don't have to make
the prize a cake, it can be anything of value.
Candle Making
Candle making is a centuries old art. Today you
can offer an exciting attraction at your fete with original candle dipping and
carving. Participants are given wicks which they dip in
a selection of coloured waxes. When it is the right size, it is carved and
moulded into a variety of exciting shapes. The built up layers of
wax make the candles very bright and colourful. This is an activity
that any age group can participate in and best of all, they get to take home a
great souvenir of the fete.
Chocolate Wheel
Always a big winner - ask local businesses to donate goods and
prizes Selling 100 tickets at $1 each you can always raise
good money from this sideshow. Check your state regulations
regarding raffles.
Cob of Corn
new idea that is starting to increase in popularity at school fetes,
street markets and other events is a piping hot cob of fresh corn.
Contact your local fruit and veg markets to obtain the best
price on corn. You will need sturdy skewers, a chopping board and a
mallet to insert the skewers into the corn. You will also need some extremelylarge pots
filled with boiling water to cook the corn and gas burners.
Approach your local hire company for these items. It is recommended
that you keep children away from the area - this should be a parents only
activity.
Have plenty of butter, salt and pepper handy and you will be
on a definite winner! As a sideline, freeze the animal shaped soft
drinks you buy in supermarkets - kids love them and you can make an excellent
profit margin, especially if you buy wholesale, or make fresh lemonade.
Coconut Shy
Coffee & Tea Stall
A must and with the popularity of special coffees, approach your local coffee
shop with a view to setting up a cappuccino machine. Many coffee shops now have
portable coffee carts available. Serve Devonshire
teas with home baked scones.
Make sure you give stall holders a free cuppa during
the day they'll really appreciate it.
Craft Stall
Set up a craft group months before the event to make craft
items. Regularly ask for donations of craft materials in your
newsletter, there are many people who cannot sew but are more than willing to
donate raw materials. If you can't establish a craft group you can always
scour your local markets for a suitable stall and ask them to pay a percentage
of takings. Craft stalls are particularly good if your fete is on
Mother's Day weekend. Think about dividing your
craft items up - jams and pickles into a gourmet food stall, skin care and
bathroom luxuries in a pamper stall, toys and baby clothes in a baby stall.
You can also create themes around colours - a blue stall, a red stall, a pink
stall.
We have searched the web and found some wonderful links for
craft items that will sell well at fetes.
Discos
Discos are always really popular with children and school discos can raise
large amounts of money. If you are having a night time event, consider
running a disco in conjunction with it. In Sydney you can contact the following company
who can organise everything for you:
Donut Stall
Your local donut store may be interested in setting up a stall cooking fresh
donuts.
Dunk-a-Teacher
Without a doubt one of the most popular activities with the kids!
Your amusement ride provider should be able to help you with a dunk tank.
If you can't source a dunk tank, consider making your own stand for a wet
sponge throw - just as effective!
Ducky Pond
Fishing plastic ducks out of a pond is an age old favourite.
Insert a little metal hoop into the mouth the duck and a small hook into the
end of a bamboo rod. Number the base of each duck and make
even numbers winners. You only need a small prize like a mini
chocolate bar.
Face Painting
Always popular with the little kids. Select your designs in advance
and make sure everyone can reproduce them. Photograph the designs and
laminate the images - this makes it easy for the little ones to make their
choice. Look at temporary tattoos for older children. You can also book
in professional face painters who will pay you a percentage of their takings.
Fairy Floss
A school fete just wouldn't be the same without fairy floss. You
can hire in a machine (your amusement rides can probably provide one) or sell
pre-packaged floss if you don't want the mess of making it
yourself. Leftover pre-packaged floss can be sold through your
tuckshop. You can also have specialist floss vendors come to your fete and sell
floss, popcorn, etc. on your behalf. This is a great way of adding
colour and atmosphere to your event without any financial outlay.
Fairy Stall
Sooooo popular with the girls. Contact Make Believe (www.makebelieve.com.au) on 07 3219
5015 for wands and halos that are always a big seller. Advertise
for mums who can sew and make up some easy fairy costumes using tulle. You can
add pirate costumes to keep the boys amused.
Fashion Parade
Ever popular, approach a local boutique to sponsor the event. Instead of
choosing women's fashion, look at children's and teen's fashions.
For a really fun fashion parade feature used clothing from your second hand
stall - have some of the teachers act as models - and include a selection of
teachers modelling used school uniforms. Guaranteed to be a big
hit.
Flower Stall
Take a trip to the flower market the day before - you can make up bunches
yourself or buy them ready made. If you don't live in a capital
city with a flower market, source a local flower farm. Make sure
you place your order well in advance to avoid disappointment.
Flower stalls are a particularly good idea your fete is
mother's day weekend. Don't just make up bunches, do some simple
arrangements which make lovely gifts.
Farmers Market
Think of having a farmers market at your fete to attract extra visitors.
Free Dress Day
A great source of revenue for any school is a free dress
day. There are many variations on how you can
raise money.
Charge a gold coin to each child who arrives in free dress,
or use the day to raise items for other events within your school - leading up
to your school fete the children have to bring in specific items in return for
free dress - one week it could be bottles for the bottle stall, the next it
could be cake mixes for the cake stall and so on. You will find you will
get a lot more donations this way than simply asking the parents to send the
items in.
This activity can also be used in a workplace where
employees are allowed to go casual, or follow a theme for the day.
Many large charities now use this method to raise hundreds of thousands of
dollars Australia
wide.
Hot Food Stalls
By far your most profitable area. Ensure you have the traditional
hamburgers, hot dogs and hot chips add an international flair with Chinese and
Asian food, halal food, curries, Greek food, etc.Food stalls are traditionally
the most popular and will raise a lot of money for you. Ensure your
food is well priced. If it is overpriced, you will be left with food at the end
of the day. Well priced food will all be sold. Be aware of food regulations
when planning your stall. Contact your local council well in advance to ensure you
comply with regulations.
Look within your school community for ethnic groups such as
Asian, Indian, Greek, Italian. Encourage them to convene food - these are
always extremely popular. Seek sponsorship from local butchers, poultry
suppliers and supermarkets for ingredients. Contact major bakeries and
flour millers for donations. The more donations you receive the
more money you will make. Have a working bee early on the morning to bake fresh
scones for the Devonshire tea stall.

Warrigal
Road State
School's Warrigala
2005. A multi-cultural school where over 40 different languages are
spoken by the students, ethnic groups support Warrigala with delicious food
stalls. Satay Sticks and Chinese food, Laksa, Halal Food, curries and
Greek sweets as well as traditional Aussie favourites pies, burgers and snags.
This fete is a must-visit for the food alone!
|
Gourmet Foods Stall
Pickles, jams and preservatives, gourmet biscuits and cakes, all very
popular. This stall can compliment the craft stall.
Hair Colour Stall
Really popular with the kids - spray on wild colours for great fun. A
good alternative to face painting for older kids. You will need to
buy several cartons of spray colour as it is very, very popular.
Hot Chips
You can't have a school fete without hot chips. Always one of the
best sellers. Have a stand-alone hot chip stall or combine with
burgers. Hire deep fryers from your local party hire store or
organise a hot chip van to come in and vend on your behalf.
Hoopla
Very easy to organise. You simply lay prizes out on a table -
elevate them on a box - the cardboard boxes you buy from dollar shops are
ideal. Give your punter three turns for a set price.
You will need hoops that are just a fraction larger than the box they have to
fit over. The prize is won when the hoop surrounds the
box. Depending upon the price you charge to have a go, you can give
every child a small consolation prize.
Ice Creams
Ice creams are always a popular treat, especially on those hot
days. It can be difficult for a school to set up its own ice cream
stall because of the need for refrigeration. Booking an ice
cream vendor is the ideal solution. You can choose from soft serve,
specialty ice creams lor prepackaged favourites.
Ice Towels
Ice Towels are quickly gaining consumer acceptance and
appeal at major tourist, sports, leisure and promotional events in Asia and the
USA
and are ideally suited to Australian conditions. Brand them with your school or
sports club details for a great fundraiser.
Super Cool Ice Towels are instantly refreshing and
invigorating. They are designed to be pre-chilled in a refrigerator before use.
They are generally displayed with and sell for the same price as bottled
water.
Each individually packed towel is hygienically packed and
made from 100% cotton terry cloth. Each towel is infused with menthol,
lemongrass and bergamot leaf extracts for invigoration and alcohol for cooling.
They smell terrific! The lemongrass also acts as a natural insect repellent.
Super Cool Ice Towels are ideal for any summer, sporting or
leisure event, and at home, office, bike or in the car. Ideal for sponsor
giveaways at events. Great for hygiene/refreshment prior to eating or
after physical exertion.
Super Cool Ice Towels will be a big hit at your next fete or
sporting event.
Super Cool Ice Towels can be custom printed or embroidered
together with packaging designed to suit any branding requirement. There
are a wide range of colours and scents available for individual needs.
Jump Lotto
Use skydiving displays to raise revenue for your school, and involve a fun and
colourful skydive display as well!
How does this work? Your school holds a raffle by selling
lottery tickets where the purchaser places their name and details on the
tickets. On the day of the fete the ticket holders place their tickets on the
ground in a designated area, and the ticket the skydiver lands on is declared
the winner (lots of fun and excitement, and a fun way to raise revenue!)
Karaoke
Karaoke has become really popular with children. Consider
running a Karaoke disco. This is an especially good idea if you are
having a night time event.
Kiss a Pig
Many schools have had success with this fundraiser. Here's how it
works...
Approach your principal, teachers and admin staff to
participate in this fun event. They must agree to kiss a pig in
front of the entire school. You will need three of four candidates and
only one will be picked as the lucky ‘kisser". Make sure you candidates
are well known to the kids and good sports.
The kisser will be the person who raises the most money in
the fundraising drive - but your candidates don't actively raise money - they
don't want to have to kiss the pig so they don't want to raise the most
money! They are free to raise money on their opponents'
behalf. You can commence this fundraiser well in advance of
your fete. You will need to place secure jars, each marked with
your candidates' names, in secure areas around your school. Anyone can
vote for the candidates by placing money, or pledge forms, into the jars.
On the day of the fete set up a Kiss a Pig stall. Make
it really bright and fun with lots of colour and balloons and have large photos
of your candidates. Make sure you promote the event throughout the
day. The lucky pig kisser will be the candidate who raises the most
money. Kids will go all out to ensure their principal has to kiss
the pig. You can have this event as the grand finale
for the day and you will be able to collect money right up until the last
minute.
Make sure you book an animal farm for your fete and have
them provide the piggy to be kissed. If your mobile farm doesn't have a piggy,
look for another animal - a camel from the camel rides, or a donkey make great
substitutes. This is a great community spirit builder and the kids
will get a great kick from seeing an unpopular teacher have to kiss the pig.
Ladder Climb
The ladder climb is a wire ladder with wooden rungs, it has a swivel at either
end of the ladder. It is attached to a frame - at the top of the frame
you attach a $50 note. Anyone who can climb the ladder without
falling over wins the prize.
Played around inflatable objects, laser tag involves tagging opposing team
members. These mobile arenas are extremely popular with older
children. You will need a large area to house the inflatable
arenas. It is great fun for all ages and really a really popular
activity.
Lolly and Sweet Stall
Ask for donations from parents and repackage into plastic bags.
Refer to recipes at the end of this booklet for fudge, coconut ice and
caramels. Lolly necklaces are always a popular item and can be easily
made by children. Confectionary warehouses are a good source of
cheap lollies.
Lucky Dips
Lucky dips are irresistible to most children. A toy or
novelty wholesaler should be able to provide you with cheap toys suitable for
the lucky dip. Also source hair clips, hair slides, ribbons,
necklaces, earings and rings. Wrap in bright colours and put in
brightly coloured containers - plastic ribbish bins covered in wrapping paper
are good. It is a good idea to have one for boys and one for
girls. You can make the dip harder by filling the container with
sawdust so the children have to rummage around to find their prize - but make
sure your prizes are well wrapped.
Lucky Socks
You will needs a Hills Portable Clothes Hoist and hundreds
of used socks! The idea is to set up your Hills Hoist and then peg the
socks to the lines.
You can run this stall in a couple of ways. You
can let your customers actually select a sock, which will have a lucky number
inside, or you can number each sock and let your customers buy tickets, like
tombola.
You could put your prize inside the sock - mini bars of
chocolates, scratch it tickets, small toys - or you could have the lucky ticket
inside the sock that corresponds to your prize table.
Maybe your local hardware store would generously donate the
Hills Hoist and it could be the major prize? Alternatively, you can
string up lines using rope.
Ask for donations of socks to use on the stall.
Lob the Dunny Roll
This one takes no explanation, the photo says it all!
Money Tree
A money tree is a really novel way to raise money at a school fete. It is simple
to put together, cost effective and an attractive prize. You simply need to buy
(or have donated) a small topiary tree in a nice pot. Buy a
selection of Scratch It cards (select your own amount). You then
punch a small hole in the scratch it card, pass a small piece of coloured
ribbon through the card and tie it to the tree. Make sure they are
placed evenly across the tree. You can also vary the idea by using
dollar notes wrapped and tied with a small piece or ribbon, or gift
vouchers. Make it seasonal by using a Christmas tree. You can use
your money tree as a raffle, chocolate wheel or tombola prize.
Name the ...
Have an item like a baby born doll and sell tickets to name
her. At the end of the day the winning name is pulled
from a box and the person who selected that name wins the doll.
Alternatively you can have 100 names already selected and you sell the names.
Plant Stall
You need to have your convenors organised well in advance for this one if you
plan growing your own stock. If you don't want to grow them yourself
approach a wholesale nursery. A visit to the local flea market is also a
source for cheap plants. If your plants are well priced they will sell
out early.
Plaster Art
Incredibly popular with kids, but you need a convenor who is willing to make
all the shapes in advance. A working bee for parents can be a good
way of getting them made. There are businesses who will also supply
you with ready made shapes, or will attend your fete and pay a percentage of
takings.
Pony Rides
A classic fete favourite. Make sure you use established businesses rather than parents from the school - you must ensure you have adequate public liability insurance.
Poo Lotto
This is a really fun activity and always attracts lots of
attention. You can select what animal you choose to ‘poo' depending
upon the area you have available. You can use anything from a
guinea pig to a cow, as long as it is an animal that does plenty of poos. Using
tape or chalk, mark out an area into equal squares and give each square a
nuber. 100 is an excellent number as it will correspond with the
number of tickets in a raffle book. The winner is the person who owns the
ticket that corresponds to the box number the animal poos in.Cash prizes are an
excellent incentive. Remember to clean up between lottos!
Pre-Loved Clothing Stall
Second-hand clothing is always popular. You can vary the number of stalls
you have by sorting your clothing into:
baby and children's clothing
school uniforms
women's
men's
Hold a fashion parade featuring your pre-loved
treasures. Have some of your teachers as models and you will have a
real winner on your hands.
Ring a Bottle
This is a variation on hoopla. Set up a table full of 1.25
litre soft drink bottles. Use tiny hoops (available from
craft shops). The hoop must ring the bottle's neck. Winner
wins the bottle. This is very popular with older children so
make sure you have plenty of bottles. If you have a spruiker yelling out
each time the game is about to start, you'll get a good crowd. Make sure
you buy several cartons of drinks.
Sand Art
This is a great interactive stall for any event
involving children. Children create wonderful pictures on cards by
peeling off sticky layers one at a time & covering each layer of the
picture with different coloured sands
School Merchandise
Sell pre-printed school merchandise such as T-Shirts, Caps, Mugs, Keyrings and
tea towels. This is especially good if you have a school
anniversary to commemorate.
Scoubdiou
Scoubidou is the latest craze to sweep the country. Use it to
your advantage by holding a Scoubidou Stall at your fete. Convene a
stall selling Scoubie Strings as well as packs. Offer kids the
opportunity to learn how to make Scoubidou and buy product. You will be
on a winner.
Show Bags
You can make bags yourself, but by the time you source materials to fill them
you may find it cheaper to purchase pre packaged ones. We have several show bag companies listed who will help you.
Silent Auctions
Sno Cones & Saved
Ice
Always very popular, especially on hot days.
Soft Drinks
A must have for any event. Remember to also include bottled
water. Soft drink manufacturers may be able to supply you with
drink stalls to sell from. Don't forget to order plenty of
ice. The Yard Glasses featured on our site are a fantastic item for a
school fete - combine with a slushy machine and you will have resales all day
long.
Stairway to Heaven
Have a standard 6' step ladder. On each step you place a
container. To have a go, you get the same number of balls/bean bags
as there are containers. To win a prize you must throw a ball/bag into
each container. To increase the degree of difficulty, make the containers
smaller as they go up the ladder. Ping
pong balls will be harder to use than bean bags. Experiment to see
what suits you best.
Tombola
Similar to lucky bottles. Ideally, have all your prizes donated and
have a couple of major prizes that will attract
attention. Stick a raffle ticket on each
prize and put the stubs in a lucky barrel. Add extra raffle
tickets, select your ratio depending on the value and number of prizes you have
and how many you are supplying for $1. The prizes are won as the
corresponding tickets are pulled out of the barrel. For easy of
selecting winners, use coloured tickets for winning prizes and white for
non-winners.
Trash n Treasure
White elephant, pre-loved, trash and treasure - there is always a ready market
for second had goods. If you can provide a collection service
for donations you will always get a great selection of items. You
might need to offer delivery on larger items as well.
Treasure Hunt
|
Fill buckets with sand and bury ping pong balls in the
sand. Number each ball and have it correspond to a prize.
|
|
Stick Lotto
Stick lotto is really easy to organise and great fun. You will need
a large shallow box filled with sand - you can buy plastic containers from
dollar shops that are ideal. You need wooden coffee sticks. A
good number to use is 100. Decide what ratio of prizes
you are going to give away and then paint the tips of that number of
sticks. They are the winners. Push
the ends of all the sticks into the sand box. Make it
inexpensive to have a go - say 20 cents. Mini chocolates are
an ideal prize. You can vary this by marking numbers on the sticks and offering
corresponding cash prizes, this is more appropriate if you are charging $1 per
stick.
Lob a choc
Another one that is really popular with kids. You can do a couple
of variations. If you have access to a sturdy child's
paddling pool, cover it in large mesh chicken wire. The idea
is you place the chocolates on the wire - the players throw a 20 cent piece at
the chocolates. If the coin lands and remains on the chocolate,
they win the chocolate. Use mini chocolates - and make
sure the chicken wire is large enough for the money to fall
through. Add some larger bars to make it interesting, but put
these towards the back so they are harder to win. If you don't
have a paddling pool you can vary this by using shallow plates - but specify
that the money must land on the chocolate to win, not the
plate. Make sure you buy plenty of chocolate as this is very
popular.
Lucky Plate
Another easy sideshow using a paddling
pool. Fill the paddling pool with water and float a small china
plate in the water. Put a $2 coin in the
plate. Draw a line about 2 metres from the pool. If you can throw a
20cent piece onto the plate, you win the prize. Practice as you set
up the stall to decide the best distance for the line. The
20c coins will usually bounce off the plate.
Lucky Bucket
Fill a bucket with water and place a gold coin at the
bottom, in the centre of the bucket. To have a go you drop a
20c coin into the bucket. If it covers the gold coin, you win the
coin as a prize. An easy attraction for children to run.
