Quick and Easy Halloween Party Ideas and Treats

It is that time of year when all of the little ghosts and goblins come out to play!  Here are some quick and easy party treats and games that everyone will enjoy.

Games

Mummy Wrap:  Divide into teams of 3 to 4 people.  One person is the "Mummy" the others will wrap him/her in toilet paper.  The first team to finish "Wins".  If you want everyone to win offer prizes for "Most Toilet Paper Used", Funniest Mummy or any other  "Winning" category.

Musical Chairs and Cupcake Decorating:

Get out your scariest Halloween music and let's play.  The game is simple, you will need chairs and little goblins.  Start  the music, every time you pause the music the children will sit on a chair.  Make sure you have one less chair than the number of children playing.  The person standing is the one eliminated from that round.

As each player is eliminated from the game send them to the cupcake decorating area.  Let the children decorate their own cupcakes using orange or brown frosting and Halloween themed candies.  Be prepared, this part of the party might get a little messy!

Pumpkin Carving:

Supply each child with their own pumpkin for "carving".  As any parent will tell you, supervising 1 or 2 children while carving is difficult to do.  Have your party guests "carve" their pumpkins with magic markers.  They will have fun drawing funny faces and you will not have to worry about any one getting hurt! 

Bonus:  It's easy to clean up!

Pin The Nose On The Pumpkin

This is a Halloween version of the old game, Pin The Tail On The Donkey.  Draw the shape of a pumpkin on a large piece of paper and tack or tape it to the wall.  Blindfold one child at a time and have them try to pin the nose of the pumpkin to your drawing. 

Want to add to the fun and excitement.  Have the children pin eyes, nose and teeth to your drawing.  Your young guests will laugh at the funny results.

Dirt and Worms

Children love making and eating their own "Dirt and Worms".  This activity requires some adult set up prior to the party.

Supplies:

Clear disposable glasses

Chocolate Pudding - instant is easiest.

Crushed Oreo cookies or any other chocolate cookie that crumbles easily.

Gummy worms (candy spiders or bugs can also be used)

Each child will make layers of chocolate pudding, cookie crumbs and then more chocolate pudding.  Encourage your guests to put their gummy worms into their "dirt" home.  From an adult point of view, it looks gross, but the kids will definitely love eating their own gross creation.

End your evening of Halloween fun by having each child take home the pumpkin they decorated with the magic markers.  After your guests depart, sit back and enjoy your own creation of "Dirt and Worms".

Halloween Party Ideas: Be Sure Halloween Is All Treats, And No Tricks!

More of us are looking for Halloween party ideas than ever. Though most of us remember canvassing the neighborhood on Halloween night, going from house to house, and yelling, "Trick or Treat" before receiving candy from well-trusted neighbors, in the interest of safety, Halloween parties are replacing that tradition.

Planning a Halloween party that is a fun alternative to door to door trick or treating, is very possible with just a bit of planning. While teens are best satisfied entertaining themselves, trick or treat aged children (six to twelve year olds) still like games and entertainment, so Halloween theme parties with games, food, and fun are great!

Everyone thinks games have to be new to be good, but the reason games like pumpkin decorating, costume contests, toilet paper mummy wrapping contests, ghoulish games of musical scares...ummm, chairs, and spookirifically scrumptious treats have remained so popular, is because they are good, clean Halloween party ideas that are fun for everyone.

The most important thing to remember is keep your Halloween party ideas age appropriate, enlist the aid of others to help with supervision and organization, send invitations early, ask for RSVPs, and if you don't get them, don't hesitate to call ahead of time to check with anyone who might have forgotten. Be certain to let parents know when to pick up their children, and since some adults will have Halloween parties to go to themselves, consider having a Halloween sleeping bag party complete with spooky movies and popcorn balls, but remember, some children are frightened easily, and remain alert to that possibility, perhaps even asking parents ahead of time, just in case. You might be surprised at how much the other parents will approve of this Halloween Party Idea!
