Are you planning to throw a Halloween party for children, or perhaps you are a teacher or a room mom and need some ideas for your classroom party at school? When you throw the ultimate child-friendly Halloween party, check out these fun game ideas for your horrible little ghosts and goblins.

Candy Corn Relay Race

Designate a starting line and finish line. Set out a bowl of candy for every player to go to the starting line and aempty shell at the finish line. The players have to use a large spoon to get some sweets from the full bowl, and then to the empty bowl and fill it. You can not spill any candy or get your hands! If candy falls from the spoon, they must immediately withdraw it and bring it back to the bowl and start from scratch starting with the shovel. This game can be played in teams.

Eyeball Hunt

In a large pot with cooked pasta and bury ping pong ballsinto the noodles. See who can find the most balls into a specified time, blindfolded. For an additional twist you can color code the balls and have each color worth a different number of points.

Guess how many sweets

Fill a jar with Halloween candy. Since reach every child, they ascribe to their names on a sheet of paper and an estimate of how many pieces into the pot. Everyone gets only one guess, and the child who guessed the closest gets to the glass with candy to take home.

TheGraveyard Keeper

Choose a person who is the grave keeper. The grave keeper closes his eyes and counts to ten while everyone else is frozen in a good position and stands very still. The grave keeper then goes to look for anyone who moves. If the grave keeper catches you move, you're out. You can position to move when the grave keeper turned his back to move but not caught. The last person left is the winner and is the new grave keeper.

Pumpkin PennyPitch

Carve out a pumpkin and the inside with plastic or aluminum foil - make the top aperture size (you can also use a small plastic) and pumpkin. Put the pumpkin a few yards away and give each player ten cents. Every time a penny goes into the pumpkin, the player receives one point. The player with the most points wins.

Occupy Coming up with ideas for games to children is always a challenge. I hope some of these ideas will be your next Halloween party, agreat success.
