How about:

Face painting
Hair Braiding
Fake tattos - rubbed on with water
Nail painting - nail varnish
Frog in a bog - make frog bean bags (really simple if you google you'll
find a pattern. You either use a real toilet or make one up
using a toilet seat and people have to throw them in.
Crockery Smash - people donate their old china/go to car boots at the end
and ask for donations too. Also ask on freecycle. Stack all
the crockery up with something at the back so the bits dont
fly everywhere and people pay to break the plates, bowls
cups etc.
Coconut shy
Stocks - throw a wet sponge / rotton fruit/veg at the teacher
Photo Board - Get someone arty to draw a pic on a piece of hard board, leaving
holes for faces and take photos of people. Like the old
fashioned lifeguard carrying a woman etc.
Cream teas or strawberries and cream -alternative to bbq for mums and grandparents who would rather not have burgers etc.
Human fruit machine
Hook a duck
Match the babies with teachers - pop up on a board tteachers baby photos
Hoopla stall- wooden rings and wooden blocks with prizes on
Kids craft stall- i.e. paint their own t shirts - you can buy them from tescos
for approx £1 each. Maybe have a word with your local tesco to see if you
could bring back the ones you dont sell? We charged £4 a tshirt.
Have potato/sponge prints/old bike wheels for a tyre track to go across shirt/pens etc.
Ask local dance/gym/clubs groups to give a demonstration (some will do for free)
We've had karate demos, line dancing, theatre groups, majorettes.
Organise a school football/netball tournament/tug of war at the same time then you have other parents coming along with their children to spend money at your school.
Wine or Water - have some full wine bottles and some with water in. Cover the top with plastic cups. People pay to choose a bottle and then they could either win wine or water You can try this with fizzy drinks and coloured water for the kids too.
Hook a bag - Have small brown bags with goodies in and bamboo poles with hooks on end. Whatever bag they hook they win the prize. Only one prize per person.
Sweetie Tombola - pop sweets into jars and do as normal tombola
Teddy tombola - ask for unwanted soft toys. Put name tags on them all and put the names into a box. Whatever name the child pulls out that is the toy they win. I always put the soft toys on the table in alphabetical order so its easier to find them.
How many sweets in a jar?
Weight of the cake?
Balloon race
Skittles - We have used old plastic drinks bottles decorated and with numbers on (relevant scores). Pop a bit of water or sand in the bottles to make them stand up. At the end of the fayre person with highest score wins a prize.
Frisbee - Draw with chalk on the playground circles with scorees on and do the same as above.
Sell icecreams/ices - Just buy them from the supermarket. We have always doubled our money at least.
Punch balloons - Buy them from the pound shop (for 10) or ebay. Then put a spoon of rice into each balloon, blow up and sell for about 50p each. The kids love selling these balloons...send kids around the fayre demonstrating and selling them. (pop a poster on their backs with the price)
Higher and lower game - Like bruce forsyth card game on tv. Google if not sure
Pack of cards - Have two sets of cards. One set you lay on the table face up with a prize on ...i.e. lollys, cars etc and hold the other set in your hand. Get people to cut the card/ or choose a card face down from your hand and they win whatever is on that card on the table.
Bowling game - Either cut arcs from a piece of hard board with numbers above to score or bend over wire and push into grass with a flag with the score on . Highest score at end of fayre wins prize (we try to get our local bowllling alley to donate a game for two)
Plant stall - Get people to start planting seeds/bulbs/cuttings now ready to sell on your own stall. Make up herb gardens..hanging flowering baskets...hanging salad baskets, strawberry pots etc
Puppet show - Try to get one of the teachers/parents to put on a puppet show. The puppets only have to be basic and the kids love it. Have it in a classroom/hall and kids pay to come and watch.
selling kits - have a look on the crafty options you could make up and then sell on. i.e. decorate a bag (make or buy bags and supply with ribbons/buttons/sequins etc) - sew a sock monster or monkey (supply everything you need in bag) - Sew a valentines heart etc etc.
Which key opens the door - mini door with keyhole in and bag of odd keys. People pull out one and if you choose correct one you win prize.
Splat the rat - Piping and a stuffed toy rat, rounders bat. Someone lets the rat go at the top of the pipe and you try to whack the rat as it appears at the bottom.

thanks for these fab idea's just wondered how much do you normally charge per go on things like the teddy tombola and co-co-nut shy??

pollys

We send a plastic pint pot home with the children and ask them to fill it for a boy or girl. It usually comes back full of sweets, small plastic Macdonald type toys, pens and pencils. We then sell them at the school fayre for a £1, this is very popular.

Decorate a rich tea biscuit, children for, say 50p, smother a biscuit with icing then decorate with sweets.

NST

Depends on set up and location, but I saw an indoor stall at a college running a WII sports competetion. Not traditional I know but seemed popular.
