Divide the children into teams. Each team picks one child to be the mummy. When you give the word, each team quickly wraps their mummy in toilet paper - head to toe - and the team that gets their mummy completely covered first wins. Depending on the size and make up of the group, you could have boys against girls. A prize could also be given to the group who finishes first. This is a good game to warm up the group. It is a game more of silliness than fright.

Cut out paper witch hats. Whatever number you think would suit the number of people at the party, 3 - 5 per person is recommended. Color two hats a different color from the rest. Hide all the witch hats throughout the house (area where you would be doing this game).

Now let the kids know that there are witch hats hidden and the guests must find them. The guests finding the most hats will in prize (show prize) and there are two special hats that will result in special bonus prizes. Now send the kids to find all the hats, stagger the release if the age group varies a lot and give the younger kids a head start.

The kids who find the different colored hats get the biggest prize and the two who got the most hats collected get the next biggest prize. Have extra prizes in case of ties. Also, you might want some small prizes for the people who didn't get a prize.

Is fun yet educational. Get some paper skeletons from a party store and divide your guests into teams with a skeleton for each team. Each team will also need some brads. All they have to do is put the skeleton together. The one who does it fastest, wins. You can have prizes also for the silliest and scariest too. And, if available, you can find more complicated paper skeletons for older kids to put together

One person is ghost, usually the party host, while everyone else spreads out a little, closes their eyes, and stands completely still trying to listen for the ghost. The ghost walks around the room and chooses one of the other players to stand behind. The ghost counts silently to ten. If the person does not say "is there a ghost behind me?" before the ghost finishes counting, then the ghost tells them they are dead and out of the game. However, if the person does, in fact, say "is there a ghost behind me?" then they join the ghost in trying to eliminate everyone else. If everyone gets eliminated the ghost wins; otherwise, the last person who becomes a ghost wins. The biggest Halloween aspect of this game is that it is suspenseful; you never know when the ghost will be standing behind you.

You can use a real pumpkin, an artificial pumpkin or large drawing or picture of a pumpkin on corkboard. Pre-cut and have ready a black construction paper nose. The pumpkin should have eyes and a mouth already cut out or glued on with an open spot for the nose. Blindfold each player as they take a turn to play. Spin each player around three times and let him or her go. They must try to pin the nose on the pumpkin in the correct spot. The other kids can yell "Hot" or "Cold" if they are missing the pumpkin completely. Use a pushpin to attach the nose, it's easier on little thumbs and not as dangerous as regular thumbtacks for attaching a nose. For smaller children, use tape. The player that comes closest to the right spot is the winner.

Put the children in circle and tell them to close their eyes explaining you will tap the one who is "it" on the shoulder. After everyone opens their eyes, "it" will need to wink at different kids in the circle without anyone but the selected child seeing the wink. Explain that the child being winked at needs to show that he or she has been killed; in fact, you'll find out who is the next great academy award winner this way! (a great way to get this going is to pick your own child to be the first killer and to tell him a head of time to kill off first whom ever he/she thinks will make the biggest show of it) Naturally, the object of the game is for the "live" children to guess who the "killer" is. Whoever guesses, or is the last person not dead becomes the next "killer".

Divide the group into two teams. Tie the balloons to everyone's ankles. Say "go" and watch the teams trying to burst the other team's balloons first. The team with the last balloon wins. As your balloon is burst you withdraw from the game.

Ask friends and parents of the guests to save empty, clean 2 liter soda bottles for your party. Give them a date of at least 1 week before your party to turn in the bottles. Spray paint the soda bottles white and draw eyes and mouths on the bottles once dried. Add about a cup of sand or pebbles in each bottle so they will stand without falling over. Divide students and guests into several teams of 3-8 kids each... line up and take turn at bowling over the Ghosts! The small pumpkins are the bowling balls The kids that got a strike received another attempt to bowl a strike. If they did bowl another strike they received a prize.

Everyone leaves the room except three people and the host. The three people seat themselves on chairs lined in a row. The host goes out of the room where the other party goers are gathered and blindfolds a volunteer. The blindfolded volunteer is guided into the room. The host explains to the volunteer that they are to try and recognize by touch each of the three people seated before them. The host holds the index finger of the volunteer and guides it over the face of the first seated person. "This is the nose" as the finger is guided over the nose. "These are the lips" as the finger is guided over the lips. "This is the left eye" as the finger is guided over the left eye lid. Likewise with the right eye. After this is done, the host asks the volunteer if they can recognize the person seated on the chair.

The host then moves on to the second seated person and repeats the procedure. And again with the third seated person, only this time, when the host is holding the index finger of the volunteer and is just about to stroke the right eyelid, the host plunges the finger into a bowl of Jell-O. The volunteer thinks he has just plunged his finger into the seated persons right eye. SCREAMS! The people outside of the room wonder what is going on! Repeat all this again with another volunteer who is outside of the room. Eventually you will have a room full of prior victims anticipating the "jelly moment". A very memorable party moment full of laughter, screams and belly aches!!

Carve out a pumpkin. Make the mouth extra large. Build a cardboard ramp about one to two feet side from the ground to the bottom of the pumpkin's mouth. You will probably need some support under the cardboard. Tape the ramp to the floor for stability. Mark a starting point a few feet from the start of the ramp. Hit the golf ball into a pumpkin.The older the kids, the farther away. Each player gets to hit a golf ball three times. Each time the ball goes into the pumpkin, the player wins a piece of candy.
