You can definitely take advantage of all the rides and attractions offered for fairground events – whether it's a carousel, a tilt-a-whirl, games and stalls ranging from vintage games to more modern games, and, of course, even high-tech attractions such as virtual reality games and bungee trampolines. But you can make your fairground and funfair event even more fantastic and memorable if you can include a host of activities that go along with your rides and attractions as well. Activities can give everyone the extra excitement they need, and it's a great opportunity for your participants and attendees to bond with each other as well, which is excellent for your business if you are planning and hosting your corporate family fun day, too. So now that summer is here, what are some brilliant activities you can have for your fairground event? The following is a list of top activity ideas for your summer fairground event.
Paint + balloons = lots of fun
Since the heat can be quite unbearable during the summer season, why not refresh everyone at your event with water balloons and paint? The kids will definitely love it, and the adults will certainly enjoy it as well. For this activity, simply hang a white sheet (make it as huge as possible) and have people take turns creating their own Jackson Pollock-inspired painting with water balloons filled with paint.
A dunking booth
Nothing is more fun than seeing the big boss or chief – or just someone who has always been considered ‘strict’ or ‘too professional’ - dunked in gallons of water. A dunking booth is the perfect answer for a summer event, and it gives everyone a chance to dunk someone into the water and give them a good soaking. If you want something a little less extreme, you can simply do a sponge toss activity – children can soak large sponges in water and then throw them at their 'victims' from a few metres away.
A corral for party spring sprays
Here’s another excellent summer activity idea for your fairground event: why not stock up on supplies of party string spray cans in different bright colours, and then separate a particular area and rope it off or create a corral. The kids can then spray each other with the party string cans to their heart’s content whilst the parents watch and enjoy themselves as well.
Limbo with water
Another brilliant way to enhance your fairground event (and make everyone feel refreshed) is to set up a limbo game with water. All you have to do is get a hose and spray a continuous stream of the water to serve as the stick where participants have to go under without getting wet. Of course, the winner of the game is the person who doesn’t get hit with the water stream!
A fairground event isn’t complete without food stalls, either, so make sure you have all the best and most timeless classics – from popcorn to hot dogs to newer choices such as ice cream and cupcakes.
