Jul 27, 2014 If your playing Animal Jam and happen to click on the National Geographic thing. Something like this will show up. It doesn't work with any of those other links down there. Anyway, today's new item is the Umbrella Hat! It is found in the Summer Carnival, selling for 1,000 tickets, or if you buy tickets, 500 gems. The purple fancy chest is the beta one, and I am not sure if it is worth stuff like rare spikes or decent den betas., Animal Jam Questions and answers, PC.
An umbrella hat is an umbrella canopy attached to a headband that functions as a protection against the drizzle rain or sun. It is seen as a novelty item.
Description[edit]
Umbrella hats have a typical umbrella canopy, with ribs supporting a fabric or plastic covering. This canopy is connected to a headband via four short shafts on every other rib to keep the canopy over the head. The canopy is generally collapsible, with the ribs and fabric collapsing around the headband shafts, much like a typical umbrella.[1] Umbrella hats can come in a wide array of colors, and sizes, including national flags like the British Flag.
History[edit]
In December 1880, there was a patent taken out on the umbrella hat, patent 250,803.[1]
Robert W. Patten claimed that he invented the umbrella hat while he was prospecting in Mexico. His original hat also included a mosquito net attached to the canopy. Patten moved to Seattle in the 1890s and was dubbed the Umbrella Man. He then became a repairman for umbrellas, and inspired a cartoon from John Hager, depicting Robert Patten with his umbrella hat.[2] Patten was seen as eccentric, and Hager's cartoons of him were comic.
American baseball Hall of Famer Lou Brock was an aficionado and promoted and sold a version called the 'brockabrella,' giving the device a bit of popularity in St. Louis in the mid 20th century.[3][4]
Today, the umbrella hat has advanced considerably. It is often associated as a cheap and comical novelty item, but it can be used to shield a person against rain or sunshine hands-free. Umbrella Hats are particularly useful to wheelchair users who need the use of both hands in the rain. It is also useful for gardeners, cyclists, walkers, shoppers, hunters, fishers, political canvassers and general manual laborers.Black umbrella man.

Summer Carnival 2018 Games – Tips & Cheats
What’s everyone come to the carnival for? Games! There are a few different games to play and they each cost 5 gems to play. You can earn tickets from playing the games and use them to buy special Summer Carnival items and accessories!
Let’s see what games are at the Animal Jam Summer Carnival this year!
Phantom Ball
Phantom Ball is a classic Summer Carnival game. The goal is to roll the ball into one of the holes, especially the 250 & 300 point ones! You need to click to stop the pointer from moving then hold/release your click to determine how hard the ball shoots.
It can take some time to get used to the aiming system, practice makes perfect!
Tip: Take your time when aiming the pointer before making your first click. Don’t let the moving 300 target distract you!
Once you master the aiming process, you’ll earn lots of tickets from this game!
Carnival Darts
Carnival darts has been here for years and is another classic Summer Carnival game. The goal of carnival darts is to shoot the balloons and phantoms using the darts. But watch out! If you let a phantom fall to the ground they will eat your darts. Once you run out of darts, it’s game over.
Cheat: Aim for the yellow balloons with letters on them. These are worth the most points. The first one you hit is worth 1000 points, the second is worth 2000, and so on.
Candy Catch
Candy Catch is a simple game where you need to move your cursor left to right to catch the falling pieces of candy. Just make sure you dont catch the falling phantoms, they will cost you points!
Animal Jam Umbrella Hat Worth
Tip: Avoid moving your cup back and forth too quickly when the phatoms start falling. It’s easy to get overwhelmed when they start falling, but try to keep your movements as steady as possible.
Whack-A-Phantom
The goal of Whack-A-Phantom is to hit the white eyed phantoms when they pop up. Don’t hit the red eyed phantoms because you will lose points!
Cheat: Be sure to go for the gold phantoms when they pop up. They are worth a lot more points but they only stay up for a split second.
Dunk-A-Phantom
This game is a fairly new addition to the Summer Carnival. I think Dunk-A-Phantom is one of the hardest carnival games. To play this game, you need to click and drag the ball in the slingshot to aim it at the target. If you hit the bullseye, the phantom will be dunked right away. If you hit the target outside of the bullseye, it will take 2 shots to dunk the phantom.
Tip: Since this game is pretty difficult, I recommend playing a different game if you’re trying to earn lots of tickets.
Summer Carnival 2018 Shops
The shops are another exciting part of the Summer Carnival. Here you’ll find lots of items for sale that aren’t available anywhere else in Jamaa. To buy things from the Summer Carnival shops, you’ll need tickets! Read through the carnival game guide above for tips and cheats for earning more tickets!

Playing at the Summer Carnival all day can work up an appetite! Luckily there’s a cotton candy machine to help satisfy your hunger.
