Candy Corn Guessing Game

Remember to keep count of how many candies it took to fill the jar.
How to Play:
-
As your guests arrive tell them to take a guess at how many candies are piled inside.

Place a cup at the start and end of each lane.

Each team member must do their best zombie impression as they race toward the cup with the eyeballs.

The first team to successfully transport all their eyeballs wins.
Best Death Scene
Supplies: open area or room
Try this Halloween tag game indoors or out.
How to Play:
-
Designate two players as being "it" for the game.
-
When they tag other players, they freeze on the spot and do their best dramatic and silly death scene—think Wizard of Oz "I'm melting, I'm melting!"
-
The last two left standing are "it" for the next round.
Place the Nose on the Pumpkin
Supplies: orange and black construction paper, black markers, double-sided tape, small white pieces of paper, bandanna
Prep:
-
Prior to the party, make a large construction-paper pumpkin and tape it on a wall or door.
-
Make sure your pumpkin doesn't have a nose!
-
Using construction paper cut out triangle noses for every player and number them accordingly.
-
Before you play place tape on the back of each nose.
How to Play:
-
When you're ready to play, give one numbered nose to each participant.
-
Next, blindfold each player. For bigger kids, spin them around a few times to make it more challenging.
-
Then let each player attempt to get their paper nose centered on the pumpkin. The one who comes closest wins.
