We used a service that brought in about 15 small games (ring toss, can-can, plunko, etc). Then we had other things like face painting, press on tattoos, and several bouncy's in the gym (very popular). Also had one of the dads that was a police man manage a "jail" that you could request people to be arrested and put in (for like 5 minutes I think it was). For the younger kids, had a sucker tree, duck pond/fishing. Also had a cake-walk and prize room (simple prizes but prizes they could take home). For food we brought in pizza and had the typical drinks. Kept it simple.

Dunking booth--we ask teachers and staff to sit in. The kids love to try and dunk their teacher

Honestly, the most popular events at our fun fair were the simplest:
bouncy house
cornhole
face painting
ring toss

Keep in simple and have fun!
