Circus Game for Kids

[HeHateMe]

I had a little fun in the ole workshop yesterday and made a carnival style game for my kids' circus-themed birthday party. I cut a couple of holes with my trusty jigsaw in a 4x5 foot piece of plywood I had laying around, then found some old cupboard hinges and hinged some 2x4s so that it stands up. Painted a clown face on it where one of the holes is a mouth and then have the other hole up in the top corner in the middle of a balloon.

I'm trying to figure out how to do scoring, thinking something like bags (even made the beanbags myself, out of burlap and dried lentils), where the mouth hole is like 1 point and the balloon hole (which is smaller) is 3 points.

Sound like fun?

I'm thinking of making another one so that we can play it like bags in the back yard for my pregame parties.

I have two ideas for a name for this game:

1. Bozo Bags

2. Clownhole

Anybody like these or have another idea?

TIA

Bozo Bags. Memory that anyone under the age of 20 has no recollection of.

Clown Bags? Your kids will remember this when they're older. Good job!

Folks that are 20 and under have no memory of The Bozo Show

HHM you should build a tilt-a-whirl in your backyard out of wood, then start the ride and set it on fire.... give it a catchy name like cutl-a-whirl
