  SAND"WITCHES"! 

I like to make ghostly sand-witches!!  All you need to do is make your favorite sandwich, using white bread.  (I like peanut butter & jelly!) Then take your favorite Halloween cookie cutter, and carefully cut out the sandwich. I use a ghost cutter, and add raisin eyes. Ohhh, you now have a spooky sand-witch!!

  Pumpkin Seed Shakers 

You need: dried pumpkin seeds from inside your pumpkin, two paper plates (for each child) and a stapler. Have the children put some seeds on one of the paper plates (bottom side down). Next, have them place the other plate on top of the first plate (bottom side up). Help the children staple their plates together with the seeds inside. Let the children paint, use markers or crayons to decorate their shakers.

  Paper Plate Jack o Lanterns 

Have your child paint a paper plate orange. When dry, have the child glue on pieces of black construction paper for the facial features. These pieces may be cut with scissors or torn, depending on your child's ability level. For older children, try using glue to form the facial features and sprinkle glitter, or various items (i.e. buttons, beans, noodles, pebbles) on the glue.

  RAP THE MUMMY

Here's a game that's really fun. You need a even number of people and a lot of toilet paper. Get everybody into teams of two. Find out who in every group is going to wrap the mummy. The object of the game is to see who can wrap their partner with toilet paper the fastest. Then after one person is done the person who is wrapped breaks out of the toilet paper and wraps the other person. The first team that raps each other wins!

  PIN THE FACE ON THE PUMPKIN 

Using a large piece of orange poster board draw a pumpkin as big as the poster board. Draw triangle eyes and nose with a black magic marker. Using material as a template draw a pumpkin mouth with teeth. Use the template to trace on construction paper as many mouths as you think you will need.

Blindfold the person playing giving them a pumpkin mouth with tape on the back. Then spin him or her around but facing the pumpkin at the end. Have them try to stick the mouth onto the pumpkin where they think it should be. Have a big X marked where it should go.

The person with the mouth closest to the X is the winner.

  SPIDER WEB 

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.
