Gum Boot Throw Carnival Party Game
by Fiona
(Melbourne, Australia)
Items Needed:
4 Pairs of Gum boots:
* 1 Large Mens
* 1 Medium Ladies
* 1 Small Childs
* 1 Tiny Toddlers
Decorate boots how ever you wish.
On an open patch of grass/area - mark a standing line and then at designated distances mark 3 other lines for people to throw the boots past, closer for small children, further back for older children, and really far for adults.
Person stands at the throw line and is given two appropriate boots for $1 and if the throw past their line they get a prize (or have lines marked 1 ticket, 2 tickets 3 tickets, etc.).
Its not as easy as you would expect to throw a gum boot in a straight line and kids love to watch dad have a go.
At our Fair when this was first introduced, we had 4 men stand and constantly compete with each other, 1 boot even ended up in the street! So funny... had to give them all prizes just for the entertainment value.
Lots of money for no expense.
