10 Best Circus Games for Your Awesome Party!
1: Peg Ring Toss
An old circus party game favorite is a classic ring toss.
The player must aim at the pegs and toss rings at them. The more pegs they land on the better the prize!
2: Duck Hunt Target Shoot
You can’t have a circus party and not have a duck hunt target shoot game!
Print out this template and place it on a board.
Each player has to hit as many ducks as they can, with either a nerf gun or some darts, to win a prize.
3: Beanbag Toss
Everyone loves a good bean bag toss!
This circus-themed bean bag toss game is fantastic and you can bet hours of fun are guaranteed!
Each player must throw a bean bag at each one of the characters and aim for the holes.
To win a prize they must be able to get them through.
4: Tin Can Alley
Tin can alley is such an easy party game to set up and so much fun to play!
Stack these cans in a pyramid on top of a barrel and have each player throw one to three beanbags at them. They need to knock down all or just a few cans to win a prize.
5: Bowling
Who doesn’t enjoy a great go at bowling?!
Set your pins and use a rubber ball to knock them down. Players win prizes depending on the number of pins they hit.
6: Pin the Nose on the Clown
Pin the nose is such a fun circus game that is also really easy to set up.
Tape the clown poster to the wall and place the sticky tape on the back of each nose.
Blindfold the player and spin them around a few times before pointing them in the direction of the poster.
You’ll have a blast watching them try to stick each nose in the right place.
The closest player wins!
7: Circus Big Tent Pinata
Kids love to pinatas and they make an awesome circus party decoration.
There’s nothing more exciting than smashing one to bits with a bat, and running around trying to catch as much candy as you can as it falls from the sky.
