Gee whiz. Ours is Feb. 17 how many days is that? I don't want to know. This is our first and I am having a hard time getting into planning due to some personal things.
One of my favs is face painting. I like to get my face painted too. Wooo hooo. Some of our teachers did a little survey on what our kids wanted it was hands down a dodge ball tourney. Our kids are dodge ball crazy! They love it.
Another fav of the kids (especially older ones) the toliet paper toss.
Scottmom#1,
The dunk tank is definitely my favorite... the kids get SO excited!
A close second is the jail... we had some teachers who spent the entire carnival in and out of the jail... it was great!
Only 39 days until ours... wish us luck!

Our carnival is coming up in April and I am trying to get my ducks in a row. I went over the notes I had been gathering and found a few new ideas, but I wanted to know what you think of as your favorite carnival activity and why. After 5 years I feel like we've either done it or won't consider it. Thanks in advance for helping me get my brain moving.
By the way, my favorite is an inflatable we rented through a staff member's church for a steal. It was an obstacle (?sp) course and I had to try it. I am was so out of shape (and worn out!) that I barely made it over the last hill and down the slide. My knees gave out when I tried to stand up!
The irony of commitment is that it’s deeply liberating-in work, in play, in love. The act frees you from the tyranny of your internal critic, from the fear that likes to dress itself up and parade around as rational hesitation. To commit is to remove your head as the barrier to your life. --Anne Morris
