Answer 1

go to your local pound shop, they have in sets of plates and stuff and things to decorate your house up an they wont cost you much then play hangin apples and slimy pass the parsel and blind as a bat!! Add red an green food dye to cakes an do horrid spinach butties!

Answer 2

We made a "pirate beanbag" game for my son's 5th or 6th birthday, where there was a "treasure map" and you threw beanbags. You tried to land on the "X Marks the Spot" but you lost a turn if you landed in the "Shark Lagoon."

You could adapt this for your kids -- make a "map" of a neighborhood, and have different kinds of houses. At some you get a piece of candy, at others you get nothing, and at some you get a SCARE and lose a piece of candy. And if you land in the graveyard you lose a turn. Basically, you can adapt the idea to the ages of your kids -- so bigger kids could keep score, and little ones would lose a turn instead of a piece of candy, that'd make a five-year-old cry :-(...

Then there's pin the nose on the jack-o-lantern... One thing we found was that popular kid games can easily be adapted to Hallowe'en by using spooky decorations or playing pieces. You could play musical chairs but use spooky music ("This Is Hallowe'en" from "The Nightmare Before Christmas" would be great for little kids, "The Funeral March of a Marionette" for older kids -- you probably know it as the theme song to the Alfred Hitchcock show); you could have a pinata shaped like a witch or a pumpkin or a tombstone --

Hey, I'm going to do this: make cupcakes, frost them orange, and then have the kids make jack-o-lantern faces on them with sprinkles or mini-M&Ms or something. Why not make food an activity as well as a treat? :-)

The Web site in the Sources field is where we used to buy all the Hallowe'en prizes for the carnival, and I still get decorations from them (got a set of skull lights that I haven't hung up yet...)

Happy Hallowe'en!

Answer 3

There is lots of things at Target for parties (Halloween Parties) I'm having one. Maybe bobbing for apples or best costume prize. There could be stuff like a birthday party like bags for coming. Pinatas.

Answer 4

we had one last year, as above we went to the pound shop for sweets and cakes and for toys we gave out as prizes, we made decorations but to be honest it tiring and takes a lot of effort, the card shops do great decorations like webbing ect, we also made up a lucky dip cauldren of gunk and slime you can use jelly and chuck some toys in the kids loved it!! oh and the pound shop and i think woolworths do a spooky halloween cd,

Good luck

Answer 5

Dont do it. Ghoulies and ghosties, witches, and wizzards, demons etc. YYYYYYUUUKKKKKKKKK
