Gather 5 assorted boxes with lids (deep enough to put a small or medium bowl inside). Cut a hole in the lid of each box so that a child's hand will fit through. Decorate boxes as desired. Gather your "monster parts": Monster intestines = cold cooked spaghetti Eyeballs = grapes Teeth = candy corn Monster Hearts = jelly in a mold Ears = dried apricots, prunes or bell pepper halves Put the "monster parts" in separate bowls. Place bowls inside boxes and cover with lids. Line up the boxes on a table and have the children reach inside and try to guess the "monster parts." Make sure you have damp paper towels or wet wipe-ups for cleaning any sticky hands or fingers. Find a large jar. Measure 1 cup of candy corn and count the number in the measuring cup. Use the measuring cup to fill the jar. Multiply the number of cups by the number of pieces of candy you counted in the first cup. Place a piece of paper next to the jar and have each child write down their guess of how many pieces of candy are in the jar. You can decorate the jar with a Halloween theme. You can also use pumpkin seeds or any other type of candy you like. Use 6 empty 2 liter soda bottles for the pins. You can have the kids cut out Halloween shapes from construction paper and glue to the bottles for decoration. Purchase several hand-size (depending on the player's ages) pumpkins. Remove the stems. Assign a helper to re-set the pins. This is fun for kids of all ages. Divide kids into teams and give each team a large roll of toilet paper. On your signal, one team member wraps their teammate (the "mummy") in toilet paper. The first team to use the entire roll to wrap the "mummy" wins. Play some fast-paced Halloween music and don't forget the camera. |
