We have a Festival the Saturday beofre Thanksgiving and we have kids games. Our school is Pre-K to 6th grade. We have The Fish Games ~ we fill sandwitch bags with prizes. usually under a dollar's worth. We have a small plastic baby pool, we fill the pool with the bags, they are folded a few times and taped they use a toy plastic fishing pole with hook on the end (palstic) and they go fishing. The reason we fold and tape is so the hook will fit under the fold and they can pull it out. I forget how much we charged.I think it was something like a quarter a try. It is the kids fovorite game!
The other one we have is The Lolly pop game~ We buy 100 pops we take a stamp pad any color you like and you can pick an amount of how many winners you want and you stamp the bottom of the stick. You can use styrofoam block. You can decorate it or not, one year we had a wooden Christmas tree and one of the husbands drilled hole in it. I know you said it isn't a holdiay fair but maybe you could think of something else made of wood and just drill holes in it. You then stick the pops in it and you can decide how you want to sell them. I think we did 25 cents a try or 3 tries for a dollar. But that is completely up to you.
I just got a small catalog from www.schoolcarnivals.com
that had a bunch of winter time games. I did not look at it very closely, but they seemed to hae a lot of snowman or penguin games. Worth a look at.
Pin the Nose on the Snowman - or have a giant felt snowman shape, blindfold the participant and have them place the buttons, eyes, nose, pipe, etc...
Create Your Own Snowflake (maybe have the pattern preprinted and the paper prefolded to keep things moving....)
Snowcream making
Walkin' in a Winter Wonderland cake walk
Hhhmmmm this could be a fun theme even without the specific holiday influences. Let me think about it some more. Until then, I'm sure many others will post fun advice.
