Fishing for Loot Bags preparation and rules
No need to explain this concept at length! Children love it. During the fair, the children have to fish a certain number of plastic ducks on the water and will win a gift. So here, children will have to fish gifts in a big box.
Prepare in advance small presents wrapped in newspaper or gift wrap paper. With the string, make a loop around this pretty package so that the children can catch it (or with garden wire). Provide several fishing rods according to the number of children; for its design, you only need:
- a nice piece of wood and ideally bamboo or a tutor
- a piece of thin rope for the line and iron wire to make a hook.
If you have gifts for the girls and others for the boys, then you will be able to differentiate them by taking a different color string.
Scatter all the gifts around your pool, being careful to put the loop on top so that the children can try to catch the small package easily.
All the child has to do is stand around the pool with their fishing rod and choose the gift they want to catch!
All packages are winners!
