Carnival Activities for Primary Classroom

popcorn bagsWhat You Need: Brown Paper Bags, Red Markers, Yellow Construction Paper, White and Yellow Tissue Paper, Glue Bottles, and Scissors.

Teacher Prep: Cut Strips of White and Yellow tissue paper, cut out popcorn shapes from yellow construction paper.

How to Make It: Each child used a red marker to make stripes of their brown paper bag first. Then, they crinkled up the white and yellow tissue paper into small balls and glued them onto their yellow “popcorn” shaped piece of construction paper. After the tissue paper dried, we then decided to glue the popcorn part to the top of the brown paper bag. each child also wrote their names on the back with a pencil. PcottoncandyWhat You Need: Blue, White, and Red Paint, Paintbrushes, white and tan construction paper, glue sticks and shaving cream.

Teacher Prep: Mix the white paint in with the blue to make a light blue…do the same with red to make a light pink. Add shaving cream to each color and stir. The consistency should be airy and bubbly. Cut triangles from the tan construction paper.

How to Make It: Have the children glue on their tan triangle to the bottom of their white construction paper to make a cone. Then they can either use blue or pink paint for the cotton candy part on top. Dry completely to make the paint stay puffy and raised on the paper.

Basketball TossIn our multi-purpose room, we set up an inside carnival for the kids to participate in. We had several games including a bean bag toss, rubber ducky matching game, ring toss, ball toss, and of course a basketball toss.Tickets and Popcorn

After each game, the kids got to count their tickets and have real popcorn for snack. It was a great start to our carnival week!
