But as Halloween is approaching (and I am desperate for it to feel cooler outside), I have begun my Halloween party planning. After all the key to good party planning is to plan early. Makes it much less stressful and usually more economical, too.
If you are planning a Halloween party for kids this year, I have 10 great, EASY, Halloween kid activities to get your party started:
1. Classic Mummy Wrap - Divide the kids in groups of 2-4. The kids wrap one child up as a mummy. You can even judge the mummies and give prizes - fasted mummy, prettiest mummy, scariest mummy, etc.
2. Decorate a pumpkin - Buy a bunch of mini pumpkins. Add some paint, sticker, glitter, and any other craft item you like. Then, let the kids create! Again, you can judge the pumpkins at the end if you want - scariest, silliest, greenest, etc. Or you could ask the kids to create the pumpkins in a theme. For example, decorate all of the pumpkins to be a zoo animal and at the end, put the pumpkins together to make a pumpkin zoo!
3. Pinata - This is super easy. There are a ton of Halloween pinata options out there. This is a creative way to distribute the much-loved and expected candy at every good Halloween party.
4. Popcorn hand craft - All you need is a bag of candy corn, popcorn, and some clear latex gloves. Insert one candy corn at the tip of each finger. Then, fill the glove with popcorn. Tie the glove off with some yard or string. It makes for a great snack after the party!
5. Cake Walk - An oldie but goodie. Make a circle of numbers. Then, play music while the kids walk in the circle. When the music stops, you draw a number. The child on that number wins a cupcake. You can keep playing the game until everyone wins a cupcake (particularly if you are playing this with young kids).
6. Witch Hat ring toss - Buy a half dozen inexpensive witch hats and some plastic, foam, or rubber rings. Voila! You have a Halloween ring toss.
7. Pumpkin bowling - Okay, this one could be a bit risky if you have boys. You might want to do it outside or at least in a safe hallway. But still, it's fun and easy! You just need 10 cheap rolls of paper towels or toilet paper. Use a Sharpie or cut out black paper circles to add a ghost face. Set them up like pins, and let your guests use a small (key word here) pumpkin to knock down the ghost pins.
8. Bean bag toss - You can make a bean bag toss out of a large cardboard box. You can make one out of a large cleaned out pumpkin. You can even use a cheap plastic trick or treat pumpkins. Personally, I'm planning to use our existing bean bag toss (or corn hole as they call it in the Midwest). I'm going to wrap it in paper and decorate it with Jack-o-lanterns and bats.
10. Last but not least, a Costume Contest! - Every kid loves to wear their costume as many times as possible. Make them feel special by having them model their costumes. You can create many categories, so that everyone can win something. Prettiest costume, scariest costume, loudest costume...just be fun and silly!
See these ideas aren't too hard to implement? Plan early, eliminate the stress and have fun with it!
