Need ?Poultry? Games?!
A small part of my job includes student recruiting for a scholarship poultry program (I know it sounds kind of weird, it is like a specialization for an animal science major). I need to do games that relate to my booth for an upcoming ?atypical? career fair. Back ground info below:
On Monday I am doing a career fair that is part of a larger FFA convention which I think it tailored to high school kids. This is not the typical event we attend and is seen as more of an investment for later applicant pools since the courses are run in collaboration with schools like UMN and UWM and applicants have to be in college.
Exhibitors are asked to have interactive booths, host games and ?make things fun?. It almost sounds more like a carnival, which is fine since we are just trying to give students something to keep in mind for later. The problem is we don?t have that kind of booth for the normal college career fairs. I was going to fill plastic eggs with egg shaped candy and put them in an egg carton, have a poultry question on each egg. If they get it right they get what is inside, if they get it wrong they get a Dum Dum. If they get the whole carton right they can have a flying chicken toy. I will likely do this too, but I was told that booth typically do more active games (like put put golf).
Anyone know what I could do as a active game that I can make poultry themed (chickens, eggs, turkey, ducks?.) and wouldn?t have to buy a lot of stuff to do it?
Re: Need ?Poultry? Games?!
"winner" of each section gets a prize. Like a pooping chicken with jelly beans or soemthing on that line? Consolation prizes could be the egg with a few candies in it. Do the game (5 minute game or so) each 1/2 hour? just an option...
my job may or may not be at this event as well, and our go to game is spinning a wheel...we actually had one custom made for our fairs...you spin the wheel and then guess the price of the commodity it lands on and how much the farmers share actually is...
That's an idea, only make it chicken related like guess how many eggs they typically lay, how many a year are typically fertilized how much chicken gets consumed each year, etc, etc,...
Duck, duck, goose?
What about the egg on a spoon race?
egg race
pin the beak on the chicken
which came first? (you could have a bunch of farming related trivia about which came first)
duck races
duck pond
who can keep a feather in the air the longest (like they blow to keep a feather afloat)
duck hunt?
you should get a bunch of clearance cadbury eggs to use as prizes...
Yep stopped by a couple store for the eggs, but I only found orange cadbury eggs so far...ick.
Feather in the air is also a good idea. I asked the person who managed the fair how big our whole space is, if we get a 10 x 10 square (I know we get a 10ft table) then I will turn the table sideways and do a duck race and bring a card table for my display. If I cannot move the table I will need to do something else.
