Icky Eyeballs

Ingredients:

- 1 cup miniature marshmallows

- 6 oz lemon gelatin

- 2 cup water

- 2 cup pineapple juice

- 16 oz cream cheese

- Food coloring

- Raisins

Directions:

Microwave the water in a medium bowl on high for 3 minutes, then

remove and pour in the lemon gelatin to dissolve it.

Add the marshmallows, coating them well.

Pour on the pineapple juice and stir.

Let the mixture sit while you warm the cream cheese to soften it.

Mix in the cream cheese. Then heat the entire mixture in the microwave

for another minute.

Stir until well blended.

Refrigerate the mixture for two hours.

A melon ball scoop makes for a great tool to carve out some eyeballs.

As an alternative, you can cool the mixture in rounded ice cube trays.

The tops will be squarish, but you can turn them over and bunch them all

together to disguise this.

Now use blue food coloring to paint on the irises. A drop of black food

coloring or a raisin in the center does nicely for the pupils.

Halloween Party Games

Having a spooky Halloween party?

Try one of these scary Halloween party games.

Pin the Wart on the Witch

Using black felt material available from crafts

and art supply stores, cut out a witch’s outline.

It doesn’t have to be perfect, as most kids

won’t mind, but remember to include the

pointy hat and nose!

(Or, purchase a large cardboard cutout picture

or poster of a witch.)

Stick the cut out or poster up on the wall or

on a large pegboard.

Optional: Decorate the witch with plastic spiders and fake web.

Then cut out large shaped warts ( yuck) from a green felt material and either stick a thumbtack onto the end of each one – or some

strong tape or poster clay (available in office supply and/or craft stores) for younger children.

Use a plain dark colored rag as a blind fold and let the children take turns sticking the wart on the witch’s nose.

___________________________________________________________________

Pick Their Brains

Cook a large pot of different shaped

pasta such as spirals or macaroni

drain and cool completely.

Place cooled pasta in a large plastic

bowl and add a few olives.

Add some wrapped candies or treats

like mini fun-sized chocolate bars.

Cover the bowl with material that

you’ve cut into a decorative shape like

a pumpkin or monsters head.

You can even use a scary cloth mask that will go over the bowl or a

decorated plastic bag.

You basically need to cover the bowl with something decorative and head

shaped that has a slit in the back.

The kids should not be able to see the contents of the bowl.

Sit the kids in a circle and let them take turns digging into the bowl to find the candies.

They won’t be able to see into the bowl and the squidgy texture of the

pasta along with the olives will feel like “brains.”

___________________________________________________________________

Bobbing for Apples with a Twist

Make this traditional game a little scarier by

filling the bobbing tub with milk and adding

red food coloring.

Add enough coloring until the milk resembles

a bright red color.

Then add the apples and let the kids take

turns bobbing for apples.

This game can get messy, so it’s best played

outside if possible.

Halloween Graveyard Hunt

Decorate your backyard to resemble a

scary graveyard or just add lots of

scary things.

You can add cut out black felt bats,

plastic spiders, fake web, fake tombstone,

Jack-O-Lanterns, and even scary music.

Hide prizes and treats amongst the plants

and decorations and let the kids go on a

graveyard hunt.

For older kids, you can even have a disguised adult or two hiding around

a spooky corner -- but please don’t do this with younger children, as it

can really traumatize them.

___________________________________________________________________

Scary Story Time

Kids love a good scary story.

Set the scene by lowering the

lights and perhaps lighting a

few candles (always supervise

children around candles).

Or, you can use flashlights to

safely set the scary mood!

You can also play some low spooky music in the background.

Take turns telling scary stories appropriate to the age group of children.

For younger children, you can read a suitable scary story and not make

the scene too intense for them.

Make this time extra special by serving a Halloween punch recipe or

witch’s milk (warm milk sprinkled with a little chocolate and cinnamon).

Mummy Wrap

This is a lot of fun. Buy a handful of party wrap rolls

(crepe paper), preferably in Halloween colors

and decoration, but you can even use plain white

toilet paper.

Split the kids up into teams of two. One child will

be the “mummy” and the other is in charge of

wrapping up that child like a mummy.

When you start playing music, the teams can start wrapping up the

mummy. Try to play some fun Halloween songs like “Monster Mash.”

When you turn the music off, the kids need to stop. To be fair and

impartial, you may want to use a timer to mark the end time.

The team whose mummy is more “mummified” (or wrapped) wins.

Traditional Games Played Halloween Style

1. WITCH, WITCH, GHOST

Played like "Duck, Duck, Goose"

Four or more children sit, stand, or

kneel in a circle facing in. One child

goes around the circle touching each

person on the head as they pass and

say "Witch".

They continue around the circle tapping and saying "Witch" until they decide they are ready to tap someone on the head and say "Ghost".

They then proceed to run around the circle. The "Ghost" must run around the circle in the opposite direction.

Both are racing for the open spot in the circle. The loser gets to be the caller for the next round.

Variations on this game are many including hopping, skipping, etc.

• Or, Play it using the words GHOST, SHOST, BOO!

• Or, play it using the words APPLE-APPLE-PUMPKIN!

2. PASS THE PUMPKIN

Played like Hot Potato... use a tiny pumpkin

instead of a potato!

3. Play MUSICAL CHAIRS... to the "MONSTER MASH"

4. Instead of 'SIMON SAYS'... use 'Pumpkin Says' or

Witch, Ghost, Goblin, etc.

___________________________________________________________________

5. SKELETON, SKELETON, WHERE'S YOUR BONE?

Played like "Doggy, Doggy, Where's

Your Bone?"

The Chant:

Doggy, Doggy, where's your bone?

Somebody stole it from your home.

Guess who! Maybe you...

Maybe the monkeys from the zoo.

Wake up Doggy, find your bone!

How to Play:

Choose one child to be the Doggy first. They

should sit in the center of the circle of children

and keep their eyes closed or covered while

the song is being chanted (it doesn't really have

a tune).

Alternative 1: Have an adult give the bone (or

whatever you choose to hide... a shoe works too)

to one of the children while the song is being chanted. (Make sure you

give each child a chance to have the bone.) Have all of the children hide their hands behind their backs. When the chant is over, the doggy can

uncover his or her eyes and gets 3 guesses as to which person has the

bone. Whether the doggy gets it right or not, the person with the bone

gets to be the next doggy. Because you've made sure to give each child a

turn with the bone, each child will get a turn being the doggy.

Alternative 2 (more competitive): Have the last person who was the doggy give the bone (or whatever you choose to hide) to one of the

other children while everyone chants the song. Have all the children hide their hands behind their backs. When the chant is over, the doggy can

uncover his or her eyes and gets 3 guesses as to which person has the

bone. If they guess where the bone is, they get to sit outside the circle and the person with the bone is the doggy. If they don't guess where the

bone is, they have to be the doggy again.

Halloween Crafts

Here are some simple and fun Halloween crafts for kids!

Napkin or Tissue Ghosts

Materials:

- Paper napkin (or a cloth, or an old scrap

of material.)

Note: For larger ghosts, use white sheets

of tissue wrapping paper

- Rubber band or string/yarn

- Small Styrofoam ball or another napkin

or sheet of tissue, crumpled up into a ball

- Markers

- String or yarn

Directions:

Lay the napkin out flat.

Place the ball or crumpled paper in the middle of the napkin.

With one hand, scrunch the napkin up around the ball and hold it tight.

With your other hand, slip a rubber band over the ball to make the

ghost's head. Let the ends of the napkin hang loose.

Use markers to make a funny or scary face.

Take a long piece of string. Tie one end to the ghost's neck, the other

end to your favorite hanging place inside (or outside if made from cloth).

Paper Plate Mask

Parental supervision is recommended for children when using scissors.

Materials:

- Paper plate

- Pencil

- Scissors

- Yarn

- Glue

- Crayons, markers, glitter, and other art supplies

- Popsicle stick

Directions:

1. Hold a paper plate up to your child's face with the top surface of the plate facing him or her. Lightly mark the outline of their eyes with

a pencil.

2. Next, cut the eye holes in the plate. You can bend the plate slightly in two to make the initial snip for each eye.

3. Now let them decide on a "hairstyle," and help them cut the right length of yarn for the hair. They can create whatever style they desire.

4. Glue the hairstyle into place at the top of the mask.

5. Now comes the best part: decorating the mask. Here, your child can

go wild!

6. Once the decorating is done, use scissors to make two small parallel

horizontal snips, about half an inch apart, near the bottom of the mask.

(They should be just slightly longer than the width of a popsicle stick.) 7. Thread the top of a Popsicle stick through these slots to make a

handle for the mask.

Have fun at the Halloween party!
