I was in charge of the elementary school's Halloween Carnival for a few years and my husband and I created some games! Now that I don't have elementary kids, I'm having to find other places to use these.
Q did all the woodworking for each of the games after we finalized a design. Then he'd pass the bones on for me to paint. The favorite game has got to be life sized Operation because of the extra electronics. Q did all the inner workings and even computer programming to make the game actually light up and play. There are winning and losing sounds and the thermometer bubble lights up different colors. Seriously cool.
Life Sized Operation: Player presses the digital pad to begin and it shuffles through all the pieces and chooses one. Player must then use the tongs to pick up that piece before the timer runs out.
Hamster Hazards: electronic hamsters roll around in balls and last not in a hazard hole wins. 9 can play at once.
Balloon Blaster: Like a dart game, but instead throw bean bags at the balloons. Balloons will be pushed back against a nail and pop.
Fish Bowl Toss: Try to toss ping pong balls into fish bowls.
Splat the Rat: Player stands near the bottom with the paddle. Host releases a rat from the top of the pipe. Player tries to hit the rat once it comes out the bottom.
Cupcake Walk: Players walk around from board to board as music plays. When music stops a number is called and that player wins a treat.
