Possum Toss
Set numbered squares in a grid about 15 to 20 feet from the player. Charge $5 for one possum or $10 for three possums. The player throws the stuffed possum at the squares. The number the critter lands on — it must be touching a number to count — wins that number of tickets. Draw the winner.
Egg Toss
Start with 12 dozen (144) eggs. Boil four dozen of them. Spray paint or color all the eggs to hide which ones have been boiled. Set up a backdrop with plastic under it to make clean up easier. Sell the eggs, one for $2 or three for $5. Once the player touches an egg they have to buy it. Have the player throw the egg at the backdrop; if the egg is boiled they get their name in a hat. When 48 names are in the hat, draw a name to win a prize.
Pick-A-Pop
Color-code the bottom of sucker sticks. Decorate a Styrofoam board and place the suckers in it. Sell the suckers, one for $2 or three for $5. Assign a number of tickets to each color of sucker stick. Draw the name or number of the winner when all the suckers are sold.
Wing Span
You will need a small table, lots of tickets and a bucket. The player stretches out a line of tickets between his or her hands as far as their arm span. Sell one stretch for $5. That's the number of tickets they receive.
Mystery Live Auction
Pick a couple of nicer donated items. Have a committee member wrap them before the event. Give hints about the items (i.e. it's used while fishing, valued at least $25, etc.) before the live auction starts. Let the bidding begin!
Here's another hint: Take time to wrap the items especially nice (lots of ribbon, pretty paper, etc.). It helps with the bidding.
Heads or Tails
Charge $10 to play for a raffle item such as a gun. Players stand in a line facing the audience. In the first round, the players determine if they are going to be "heads" or "tails" by placing their hands on their head or their tail. Players must keep their hands in those positions and cannot change after they have made the initial decision.
Choose a volunteer to flip a coin. If the coin lands on heads, all who chose tails are out of the game and must sit down. The next round begins with the remaining players, and they choose heads or tails again. The game continues until one person remains — the winner.
