Kaili | Monday, October 13, 2003 - 01:00 pm     I went to a Halloween party once when I was a kid where we walked blindfolded and touched stuff. I think- it was my friend's older brother that did it- he told a story as we went through. Example: Firts we put our hands in a bowl of cold, wet spagetti noodles (that was brains or intestines I think), peeled grapes were eyeballs- be creative with this. I think he made up the story- this was years ago and it's pretty vague what else we did that night. Oooh! I found a website (http://www.acplace.com/holiday/halloween.htm) that has more of these food things: Blind fold guest and have them touch each item to guess what it is. Peeled Grapes (eyes) Cold cooked Spaghetti (guts) Corn Hair (hair) Carrot (finger) Liver (insides) Here's another one- We did this a lot at my birthday parties when I was younger: Spider Web Halloween Party Game In an enclosed area, take numerous, separate and very long pieces of yarn to create a giant spider web. Put a piece of tape on the beginning of each piece and tie a number to the end. Criss cross the pieces of yarn throughout the room to create a "web." Each child grabs a taped end of yarn and rolls it up until the end is found. Each number corresponds to a special prize or treat. The kids will have fun working there way through the web and trying to stay untangled. Here are some other sites with ideas: Party Game Ideas More Ideas Haloween Party Games Pumpkin Nook Party Games I'm sure there's tons more out there- do a search for Halloween, Party, and Games Good luck, have fun  |
Hippyt | Monday, October 13, 2003 - 01:00 pm     wha????? I'm here,no ideas,but I'm here. <> I think there is a thread here somewhere Pamy about this very thing,and lots of good ideas. Make the spooky hand ice thingy for your punch.Take a latex glove and fill it with water,then freeze it and peel the latex off,then throw it in the punch bowl. I've always wanted to do that,never had a Halloween Party though. |
Kaili | Monday, October 13, 2003 - 01:03 pm     You're absolutely right! Here's the link to the other thread... HERE |
Pamy | Monday, October 13, 2003 - 01:10 pm     Thanks you guys!! I think the other thread was for adult party stuff. I love the games you suggested! I will do the hand in punch and take a pic for ya Hippy! |
Grooch | Monday, October 13, 2003 - 01:51 pm     I remember bobbing for apples when we were kids. There would be slits in the apples where coins were placed in them. |
Pamy | Monday, October 13, 2003 - 02:51 pm     Cool twist for the bobbing!! Thanks Grooch! |
Christina | Tuesday, October 14, 2003 - 04:28 am     I am doing this one at a party this year..... Large piece of cardboard round, size of a small table. Large hole in middle to fit your head through. Place a large hanging tablecloth, dont forget the hole. Decorate the table with all the horrible looking food. Place a good treat for the kids near the hole in table top. I will paint my face scary looking and put my head through the the hole, When kids get a treat I will come alive. |
Christina | Tuesday, October 14, 2003 - 04:30 am     If you have 2 way walkie talkies, you can place one in an object and have someone watching close by. When the children go near the object , you can start to talk to the person. So funny. |
Pamy | Tuesday, October 14, 2003 - 04:59 am     great ideas Christina..we have talkies and I never would have thought of that!!! It is going to be more fun for us adults than the kids! lol |
Jro718 | Tuesday, October 14, 2003 - 07:03 am     This is a great website for ideas for any type of party! And no, I don't work for them! http://familyfun.go.com/ |
Schoolmarm | Tuesday, October 14, 2003 - 06:20 pm     Get cherry Koolaid in the little juicebag bags...the back side is clear and it looks like a bag of blood...great for the vampires out there! Also for a healthier snack, you can take a pumpkin cookie cutter and make cheese slices into pumpkins or jack-o-lanterns. Really cute and the kids like them. I have a Halloween piano recital every year and these two are hits. The kids play in costumes that sometimes relate to their songs. The kids who don't come in costume get to wear a silly hat from my collection. Santa hat is frequently used! We also make spider webs out of silly string and batting. Cidar is always great, and I love that caramel dip for apples. Have fun! |
Pamy | Tuesday, October 14, 2003 - 06:53 pm     Thanks Jro and Marm!!! I tried the latex glove thing last nite, I had hung the 'hands' in the freezer so they wouldn't freeze flat on one side, this morning I opened the freezer to get a waffle and screamed!! LOL the hands scared me to death!!! |
