The Halloween Story Game
Each year we have a huge Halloween party for our kids,
one year, we sent the beginning of a
ghoulish story in with the invitation and the party
guests had to finish the story. We read all the endings
at the party and then voted on for the best, weirdest, and
scariest. I still have the ones the kids did and love to reread them
at Halloween. Even though its been 20 years. Hope this will help others
out there have a spooky Halloween.
Thanks - Judy - Vernon, NY

Rolling Pumpkins Relay
Line up into 2 teams. The first person passes the pumpkin over his/her
head to the next person in line. The next person passes the pumpkin
under his/her legs to the next person, and so on. When you get to the
end of the line the last person runs up to the front and starts it all
over again. Whoever has the first person that was in line at the
beginning of the game in the back of the line WINS.
Thanks- Lara, NC

Halloween Scavenger Hunt
Hide Halloween related objects in different places where ever you are
having the party. Then give the kids a sheet of paper to write down
Halloween objects that they find (or if you have enough
objects they can collect them). Whoever finds (or
collects) the most stuff you hid, wins a prize. Be sure to list everything you
hid, so you can verify what you hid.

Adult
- Costume Scavenger Hunt
Create two or three teams depending on how many
participate in the costume scavenger hunt. Each
team will a video camera to record the scavenger
hunt and they get 2 hours (can be adjusted) to
complete various tasks and get select
items.
Here are some task ideas:
Go to a video rental store and find out what
year the the movie Halloween was made.
Go to a grave yard and find a specific name on a
tomb stone.
Take a video with a Taxi or bus driver.
Find a cop in a donut shop and get a video with
him.
Go to a grocery store find out how much a
specific item costs.
Go to a home of someone that know one knows and
ask for a can of blood red soup (Tomato soup).
Go to a bar find out how many brands of beer
they serve.
Find a stranger who will let you wrap them up in
toilet paper like a mummy extra points if they
along with the team sings the Monster Mash on
video. And so on...
When the teams get back we have the most fun
watching the videos, especially the people who
came to the party that didn't go out on the
Scavenger hunt!
Thanks - Brian - Cleveland

Halloween Adult Games
Having adults coming to the party. Consider playing a
Halloween trivia game, for singles maybe a haunted
dating game, couples how about a Halloween newlywed
game. Research and create questions about Halloween,
scary movies, or questions about what frightens your
guests.

To Young For Carving - Try This
Have children make paper mache pumpkins out of newspaper and balloons.
After the paper mache has dried pop the balloon and have them paint
the paper mache pumpkins orange and draw faces
on them and then give prizes out for funniest, scariest,
etc. etc... Thanks - Jenny in Indiana
Other Options:
- Use real pumpkins and have the kids draw or paint the
pumpkins
- Use gourds and use Mr. Potato Head eyes, lips, and
noses to decorate

Pin the Teeth on the Vampire!
A variation of pin the tail on the donkey) Have a picture of a toothless vampire. Put a sheet over the kids
head so he can't see and so he looks like a ghost. Then have him try to put the
teeth in the right place! Thanks - Angela

Something to Draw On
Game for young children. Draw 2 large pumpkins on the chalkboard. Blindfold 2 children. Give them chalk to
draw in the face of the pumpkin. Lots of laughs! Thanks

Bobbing for Eyeballs
Instead of bobbing for apples, try bobbing for eyeballs.
Buy white plastic ping pong balls and decorate like
eyeballs. Play the game just like bobbing for apples.

Halloween Clue
This would be better for adults but you could invite people to play a real game of
clue. The people who live in the house can set it up and
the people that you invited can try and guess who the killer is. The people in the
house could fake their deaths until someone figures out who
the real killer is. Try these games
Murder
on the Grill , A
Taste for Wine and Murder,
Pasta, Passion & Pistols

Have a safe and Happy Halloween! And come back for our
Thanksgiving and Christmas pages!
