Being in charge of your child's elementary school fundraiser is a big responsibility. You have to plan an event that the kids will love and the parents will participate in, and spend some money on. Fall carnivals are school favorites. You can give the other committee members the responsibility of catering the food and setting up the games while you research rental carnival rides that everyone will remember.
The number one ride right now seems to be what some call the Spider Zone. This isn't actually a ride at all. It's a huge inflatable slide. Kids have to climb through a seven level, mesh enclosed, structure to get to the top of the slide. Multiple children can climb at one time, making this a great option for an event with a lot of kids in attendance.
The Dragonfly is another ride kids love. If you have ever been to a state fair, you've seen this ride. Riders sit in the Dragonfly, which starts spinning slowly and speeds up quickly. As it goes faster, the seats start to pull out from the center. Thirty riders can enjoy the Dragonfly at one time.
The Six Spin is somewhat like the Dragonfly, but doesn't take up nearly as much space and holds fewer riders. There are six single seats. Each rider has controls, and as the ride speeds up, the operator tilts it. The ride will begin to go up, down, and backwards as the riders push the controls back and forth.
Turbo Tubs are great for little riders because there is room in the tubs for parents. As the ride spins riders have the option of spinning their own tubs or locking them in place. The spinning action is sometimes too much for little kids. It's the option to spin or not that makes it a perfect ride for the littlest children.
Meltdown is a game for the older elementary school kids. There are eight players, each with his or her own podium. As they stand on the podiums, two arms start spinning and will knock the players off the podiums unless they can time a duck or jump just right. It takes agility, stamina, and quick reflexes to stay on the podium. The last player standing is the winner. This game can take awhile, especially if the players are good at what they are doing.
No event of this kind would be complete without a mechanical bull. Kids of all ages love it. Most of the bull rides can be adjusted to suit the size and age of the rider. The bigger the rider the faster the bull goes and the harder he bucks.
Fall carnivals are a lot of fun and usually big successes. This is especially true when there are plenty of good rides, great food, and challenging games. They are usually big money makers as well. You will know you've succeeded if everyone has a fun and the school benefits.
