Great for festival stalls! Handmade game ideas

Festivals are one of the events everyone looks forward to, aren’t they? In addition to local community festivals, they’re also held as events at preschools, schools, and senior facilities.

If you’ve been put in charge of a booth, you might be wondering, “What should I do?” In this article, we’ll introduce handmade games that are perfect for festival stalls.

Along with classic games like target shooting and yo-yo fishing, we’ve gathered a variety of ideas that both children and adults can enjoy.

We’ve focused on things that are easy to make with readily available materials, so feel free to use this as a reference!

Pocky & Pretz Game

Let me introduce a heart-pounding Pocky & Pretz Game where you’ll be on edge wondering if it will topple over.

For the Pocky sticks, roll sheets of newspaper into long, thin rods and use yellow and black duct tape to make them look like Pocky.

For the Pretz sticks, roll newspaper the same way, wrap them with yellow tape, and use colored pens to draw toasted patterns.

The key is to keep the length and thickness as uniform as possible.

Since you’ll be working with your hands while seated, you can enjoy the activity from the preparation stage.

Once you’ve set the Pocky sticks in a ring, take turns removing one stick at a time.

The person who causes the Pocky to fall when they pull a stick loses.

It’s a great game for getting a big group excited!

Number Touch Game

Number Touch Game

When it comes to games that are easy to set up on a wall, the “Number Touch Game” is a great pick.

Stick pieces of paper with numbers on them randomly on the wall, and at the start signal, touch them in order starting from 1.

Set a time limit and compete to see how far you can get.

It’s a good opportunity to learn numbers, and it also seems like a game that can train concentration and reflexes.

If you have enough space, create a few stations so multiple people can try at the same time—it’ll make it more exciting.

If you want to increase the difficulty, hand out balloons and have players keep them afloat while doing the number touches.

Ball rolling game

[Challenge] DIY Disneyland Ball-Rolling Game
Ball rolling game

The “ball-rolling game” is a game where you tilt a cardboard track to roll a ball, and you succeed if you can get the ball into the final hole without dropping it.

To make it, first cut cardboard and connect it in a zigzag.

This will be the path for the ball, so punch holes along one side where the ball can fall.

Insert the zigzag path into the base with the holes, and it’s complete.

If you want to lower the difficulty, it’s a good idea to add some walls along the sides of the path to keep the ball from falling off.

Takoyaki Ball Toss

Let’s have fun throwing balls! We’re introducing the Takoyaki Ball Toss.

When you think of summer festivals, delicious food stalls are the highlight, right? This game is themed after takoyaki, a classic from those stalls.

Decorate your setup like a festival booth and try a ball-toss challenge.

Cut several holes into a black cardboard board.

Make the balls look like takoyaki in color and style.

When you throw, the key is to control your strength so the takoyaki-shaped balls land in all the holes! Be sure to include this at your summer festival.
