Penny carnival game ideas?

I'm having penny-candy carnival for my soon to be 5 year olds birthday. So far we've planned a penny relay using bowls of pennies than have to be carried in spoonfuls, and a penny toss into floating bowls in a turltle pool. Will probablly also make a penny launching tube out of a wrapping paper roll and see who can roll a penny the farthest. Would love any other ideas for games using pennies.

    If you have enough pennies, what about a penny stacking contest? Gee, G, you really cheap out on the coinage. LOL, India would insist on using quarters....and then gather them up as "hers".

    She's 5 tomorrow! Wish the wee one a happy day from all of us!

    Tossing pennies is a venerable sport, but might raise eyebrows. Penny face painting, though some method better than a glue gun would be needed. None comes to mind. Bobbing for pennies presents the specter of choking hazards, that is not quickly dispelled. I'm afraid I'm flummoxed.

    I'm sure you'll do better than these ideas. Have fun.

    A dart board with balloons doesn't cost much to set up. Go to the Oriental Trading Company website and check out their carnival games section. Many of the pieces are quite reasonable.
