Our allotment association has a stall at a village event this weekend, we have done a couple of others before.
I had the idea of constructing some sort of games for kids based around allotments and allotmenting.
My original idea was a bed of soil with various different 'plants' in it, you pays your money, you pulls a plant, you wins a prize (if you pull the right plant).
I've since had another idea based on a bug hotel, a block of wood with loads of holes drilled in it, straws in the holes with a ticket in them and a bug of some sort stuck on the end, you choose a bug and get a prize (or not).
Any other ideas for games?
I've been trying to come up with one based around water and watering.
Only problem know is that I am very much an ideas man and actually constructing things is not where my skills lie.

I think you could have a model allotment on a table laid out with plots and paths, and the game is to roll a model football through the allotment site without landing on a plot - land the ball on a plot and the kid gets a thick ear. Fun for all the family.

Blindfold them and see if they can guess the vegetable with feeling or tasting. If they get it wrong make them run through a plot with a load of upturned rakes, (still blindfolded).
