For
years children were able to celebrate Halloween in the
traditional way of going for house to house saying "Trick
or Treat". Knowing that there would always be a treat.
However times have changed, in many areas it is no longer to
practice this tradition. But we can always try new things
to have a bashing Halloween. Below are mentioned a few of the
party ideas which can make your day and definitely a wonderful
party...So ENJOY! |

Treats
'n Guts - Fill
a large container with something disgusting like spaghetti,
jello.... Place candies in zip lock sandwich bags and bury in
spaghetti. Turn off lights and have the kids dig for their
prizes.
OR buy little plastic prizes and place directly in container.
Pass
Along Jack -
Using small plastic Jack-o-lanterns, or a miniature
pumpkin Line up in teams. The first person in each team is given a
Jack-o-lantern to place under his chin. He must pass it to the next in line but neither
may use his hands. The first team to get it all the way to
the last person is the winner. If the Jack-o-lantern is dropped
, just pick it up and continue from there.
Little Piggies -
Spread a pile of wrapped candy on a table or large tray. Give
each child a container (small bag, bowl, paper cup).
Giving the children only a set time (like 30 seconds) Each child
is to get as much candy in their container as they can, WITH OUT
using their hands. When time is up the one with the most pieces
wins. However every one gets to keep what they got.
Pin the Nose on Jack -
Played just like "Pin the tail on the Donkey" .
Before the party Draw a Jack-o-lantern (minus the nose) on
a piece of poster board. Hang on wall. Cut one nose for
each child. Just before the child plays have him/her write their
name on their nose. Then place a piece of double stick tape on
back.
Mummy Wrap -
Break into teams of three. Have two member s of each team
on one side of the room and the other member across the
room. Give each pair a roll of white bath tissue.
When the game starts one member must wrap the other too look
like a mummy. The person must be totally covered expect for
eyes. Once the person is wrapped, the must walk like a mummy
across the room to their team member. Then the other team
member must carefully unwrap the mummy. Now the one who was the
mummy must now wrap the other person using the same tissue.
Again once wrapped, that person walks across the room. The the
one waiting must repeat the process. The first time to have all
three mummies walk wins. |

purposes: one it looks cool and most important it protects

plastic. Place a hat over the top of shirt, giving

Pick the Best Costume. |
|
|
A must do! After all the guests have arrived, announce the contest for the best costumes are about to begin. Hand out novelty prizes for the best, most original, prettiest, scariest, best homemade, funny, costume most likely to have been designed by aliens, costume that took the least amount of effort, etc. The host reads out a category and the guest's shout out who should win that prize. Majority rules. You could also have a secret vote and have your guests put names in a hat or plastic pumpkin. Prizes can be as simple as a blue ribbon or perhaps a Halloween candy.
Bobbing for Apples
A traditional harvest time game
Float apples in a large wash tub filled with water. The object of this game is to grab one of the apples and remove it from the water without using your hands. You must use only your mouth. This is a very messy, very wet, and very fun game. It is even more challenging if the stems are removed from the apples.
Halloween Word Scramble
An old parlor game.
This simple game can be played individually or in pairs. Give everyone paper and pencil. How many words can be made using only the letters in "Halloween" or "Trick or Treat"? |
