Festival and fair classic games (21–30)
medal game
This is a medal game you can make by customizing cardboard and set up in classrooms or hallways for a school festival.
If you get creative with the lever and coin slot, you can build a realistic, three-dimensional machine.
When you insert a medal, it travels down slopes and through dividers; it’s a success if it lands in a scoring zone or a prize zone.
To ensure the medals slide smoothly, it’s important to fine-tune the slope angles and the widths of the dividers.
By setting rules for how to play, you can tally points and rank players, enhancing the gameplay.
Not only is it fun to play, but the building process itself becomes a collaborative class activity, making it a memorable idea for the school festival.
ring toss
For school cultural festivals and fairs, ring toss is an activity that people of all ages can enjoy casually.
It doesn’t require much preparation, and with a bit of ingenuity, you can make it yourself without spending money.
Adding prizes will make it even more exciting and enjoyable.
In conclusion
We’ve shared an idea for a handmade game as a classroom-based attraction for the school festival. Unique mini-games created from recycled materials are sure to bring smiles to the faces of visitors one after another. Put your heads together as a class, have a blast throughout the preparation process, and create the best game that will leave a vivid, lasting memory!
