Creative Recruiters, I 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?
Maybe something like a "duck pond" (like a mini one of the carnival style). However, I only have 5 "big" prizes and I am not sure how my boss would feel about me buying $50 more in prizes. I wouldnt be much of a pond if all you win is candy.
Re: Creative Recruiters, I need poultry games
Can you have random chicken feathers and have people guess the breed? Some are very unique, like seabrights. Its not super physically active, but its interactive in letting people touch things and pass them around. You could maybe do something similiar with real (hard boiled) eggs, turkey vs duck vs chicken vs bantam.
