 
Ghost Hunter Game - Game
for teams:
Get lollipops, ribbon, paper, tissue
paper, and select 5-10 Halloween terms.
You may want a styrofoam base to stick the ghosts into
during the game.
Divide party guest into
Ghost Hunting teams of 3-5 kids per team, the
number
per team may be based the ages of the kids.
Each
team is given clues to find ghosts that can be
hidden outside or inside. Note: Don't place all the
ghosts together or the kids will grab the first ghost
they see rather than find the ghost you want them. Also,
tell them not to untie the
ghosts until after the game is over. So send them off to
different areas. You'll
want
1 ghost per guest or a specified number per
team, but have extras so each child gets a ghost.
Each ghost is a lollipop covered with tissue
paper, tied with ribbon with a letter written on
the ghost. Use a marker a add eyes and a mouth
to the ghosts.
Send the kids with clues off to find ghosts. If
young children have an adult go with them for
safety and to assist if they don't understand the
clues.
Example Clues: I live near the large tree in the
backyard or At night I come out from under Mr. Wilson's
favorite chair. Fun, increase difficult with age.
Each team will return with 3-5 ghosts with
letters. The corresponding letters will spell or
help spell a
mystery word that relates to Halloween. See the
2 versions below:
Young kids: Use words where all the letters
are given: bat, witch, cat, hat, broom, ghoul etc... One
team at a time, take the letters and mix them up.
The
Ghost Hunting team whose ghosts are being used get the
first try to guess the mystery word. If
they guess the word correctly they get a point, if
they miss the word the other teams have a chance to get
a point. Have them raise their hand if they know the
answer, 1 guess per team. If no team guesses the word,
then a simple clue is given and the process is repeated
until the word is guessed. If there is a tie have a tie-breaker
mystery word that is a little harder. Offer a
small prize for the winners.
A little harder: In this version the letters on the ghosts only
give clues to the mystery Halloween word. Word
Examples: pumpkin, headless, horseman, haunted, goblins,
Sleepy Hollow, etc... Arrange the letters in
correct order
leaving spaces for missing
letters. The Ghost Hunting team whose ghosts are
being used get the first try to guess the mystery word. If
they guess the word correctly they get a point, if
they miss the word the other teams have a chance to get
a point. Have them raise their hand if they know the
answer, 1 guess per team. If no team guesses the word,
then a simple clue is given and the process
is repeated until the word is guessed. Again have a tie-breaker word just
in
case and offer a prize for the victors.
