Set Up Some Games
Don’t let the Halloween fun stop after getting dressed up and going trick or treating. Get everyone involved in the party with some fun Halloween games including The Bitten Apple, Pass the Pumpkin, the Mummy Wrap and Apple Pass. Give Out Candy Prizes!
- The Bitten Apple: Please one red apple in front of each player at a table. All will be standing with their hands behind their back. For older kids, they can use a blindfold. Then, set a timer and see who can eat the most in 60 seconds (can be longer, too).
- Pass the Pumpkin: Use a big pumpkin or a smaller one for younger kiddos and have everyone sit in a circle or stand up. Play Halloween music while they pass the pumpkins around the circle. When the music stops, the player with a pumpkin is out. The rest of the players continue to play until there is a winner.
- Mummy Wrap: Divide guests up into pairs; give each pair a roll of toilet paper. One team member will be the wrapper and the other will be the wrapped mummy. The first team to use up its roll wins. Or you can give each team two rolls of toilet paper and after the mummy is wrapped, he or she must wrap his partner. The first team to empty both rolls of toilet paper wins.
- Apple Pass: Divide guests into teams and line each team up. The first in line for each team is given an apple under his or her chin. Without using any hands, the apple must be passed to under the second team member’s chin and from that chin to the next until all the members of the team have held the apple. If the apple drops, it must start at the beginning again. The first team to successfully pass the apple down its row of members wins.
