Great for festival stalls! Handmade game ideas

Pinball with a cup

[Cheerful Recreation 🏀] Make a super popular game by hand! Pinball with cups! Guaranteed fun!

Pinball with cups is a fun game that everyone can get excited about.

It’s popular with both adults and children because you can enjoy it just by rolling a pinball.

It’s especially great for festivals, where it’s sure to be a hit.

It’s easy to make, too—just use cardboard, a base, and paper cups.

Trace the paper cups onto the cardboard with a pen as a template and cut out the holes.

Then attach the paper cups and turn it into a platform for rolling the pinball.

Tilting it so the pinball rolls down and awarding points and prizes based on which box it falls into is also a great idea to boost excitement.

Give it a try!

Yo-yo fishing

Have fun even with dollar-store items!! How to make a dollar-store yo-yo

Yoyo fishing has long been a beloved feature at festivals.

It’s a must at summer festivals.

Because everyone can enjoy it together, it helps deepen interactions with others and also improves concentration.

It’s also great as a hand exercise.

You can easily get yoyos at 100-yen shops.

Inflating the balloons and attaching the rubber bands require some fine work, but they’re easy to make.

Just fill a plastic pool with water and add the balloons, and you can enjoy yoyo fishing—making it a great recommendation for a summer festival stall.

Handmade UFO catcher with magnets

How to Make a Handmade Toy Claw Crane with Magnets [UFO Catcher] - DIY How to Make a Claw Crane -

A handmade UFO catcher that combines colored paper clips and neodymium magnets is a unique craft that uses magnetism.

Fix the magnet to the end of a string and secure it firmly with glue.

For the main body, connect two plastic bottle caps vertically with masking tape, adding thickness to the sides so that the clips won’t stick to them.

Thread the string through the caps to complete the arm.

Pre-drill a hole in a clear bottle, pass the string with the main body through it, and drop the clips inside.

When lowered, the magnet attracts the clips; when pulled up, the distance increases and the clips release—just like a real claw machine.

It’s a clever idea that makes good use of magnetic properties.

Cardboard Frisbee

After cutting the cardboard into a circle, make a triangular notch in one spot.

Decorate the cardboard with stickers or drawings using a pen.

Hook a rubber band onto it and let go of the cardboard—it will fly.

You can make the target out of cardboard as well, or simply stack paper cups for an easy option.

The frisbee’s size is up to you, but if it’s too big or too small it can be hard to handle, so around 10 centimeters is recommended.
