FEBRUARY FAMILY PROBLEM

As usual, I have found an unusual holiday - Carnival Day. On February 26th, people are to celebrate Carnival Day. Carnivals are full of games and prizes. With your family, invent a new game for a carnival. You will need a game title, a list of the materials needed for the game, the rules and ways to win (in complete sentences), and the various levels of prizes (stuffed animal, poster, candy, etc.). For an additional bonus point or chance ticket, you may include a picture. These are due no later than Monday, March 1st.
