Instructions

    • 1

      Choose the location for your game booth. Arrange two tables parallel to each other -- and the third table perpendicular at the ends of the two tables to connect all three, forming a horseshoe shape. You can place the connecting table at the front or the back of your game booth, based on the game you are setting up.

      Cover all three tables with floor-length tablecloths. Choose either paper or linen tablecloths in bright colors or patterns, such as stripes or polka dots, to draw attention to your game booth.

    • 3

      Decorate a piece of poster board with markers to indicate the name of the game you are offering at your game booth. Tape the newly decorated piece of poster board on one of the tables in the front of your game booth for everyone to see.

    • 4

      Write the costs to play your game on another piece of poster board with markers. Attach the sign to one of the tables with tape in a spot where the prices will be visible to all.

    • 5

      Attach groups of two or three helium-inflated balloons to the ends of each table with tape to make your game booth more eye-catching.

    • 6

      Set up the game for your game booth on the table that acts as a connector between the two tables that run parallel to one another. Some simple games you might want to consider for your game booth are a ping pong toss in which players attempt to toss ping pong balls into empty glass jars, or a bean bag knockdown, whereby players attempt to knock down pyramids of bottles with bean bags.

    • 7

      Place a piece of rope or string on the ground to mark where you want people to stand while they play the game offered at your game booth. Tape the ends of the rope or string to the ground to keep it in place.

    • 8

      Lay out the prizes for your game booth along the two tables that are parallel to each other for everyone to see.
