School Christmas Carnival

Organizing a school carnival instead of the usual Christmas party to bid the kids goodbye for the holidays is a great idea. Deviating from the traditional party will be more appreciated by the kids and parents alike. Though it entails more work on your part, the satisfaction it will generate from those young faces will surely make up for it. The best way to easily accomplish this task is by renting carnival games in Grand Rapids and modify them to better reflect the spirit of the season. Here are some ideas below that you can implement on this big day.
Christmas Face Painting
Give the usual face painting booth a twist by embellishing it with Christmas themed decorations. Make sure to specify beforehand to the assigned professional face painters your planned theme so they can prepare designs in advance. If you're an art teacher or just artistically inclined, you'll most probably want to do this yourself instead of renting. If so, remember to only use paints that are specifically formulated for this task. Paints to be used are the non-allergenic and non-toxic types which are easily washed off by just soap and water.
Reindeer Rides
Instead of having the usual mechanical rides, rent pony rides offered by prominent carnival games Grand Rapids providers and have them transformed into reindeers with a little creativity on your part. To achieve this effect, add fake reindeer antlers and other accessories to the rides. Add also a touch of Christmas themed cutouts or adornments all over the ride to complete the effect. Your students will surely enjoy riding these reindeer rides.
Christmas Carol Karaoke
Set up a karaoke machine and provide a wide selection of Christmas carols that the kids can play or sing with. If you don't have the equipment, you can rent one in your area. Another alternative to save on cost would be to connect a high quality microphone to a computer and search for free internet-based karaoke programs. Just make sure to pre-select and save many Christmas carols to choose from so that the students will not be running out of songs to choose from. Doing this will also save you precious time maintaining the karaoke songs come party time.
These are but some of the things you can do so that the carnival games Grand Rapids you rented will have a touch of the Christmas spirit. If everything is well planned and thought out, then the kids will surely remember this event throughout their life.
