Would like some ideas for a Halloween Party for adults and children. ideas on the food and some games.?

Answer 1

I asked this the other day,

spooky themed pass the parcel, apple bobbing, spooky pin the tail on the black cat, musical statues but you have to pull a scary face and hold it when the spooky music stops, for older kids you could have them stand up and tell ghost stories( prizes for the scariest). Still trying to think of some adult ones myself. For food you could make a lime jelly and set it with plastic spiders in, get some basic fairy cakes and some orange icing and put little pumpkin faces on them or black icing and liquorice bootlaces and make them into spiders with smarties as the eyes. There is quite a range of halloween themed party food in the shops now too. Hope this helps.

Last year we did a "ring toss". We used hula hoops to throw around pumpkins. The kids can stand close and the adults far out.
I also do a "musical chairs" type game. I draw pictures of halloween items (witch, frankenstein, cat, spider etc.) on pieces of construction paper. Then make slips of paper with the same items on them. I am always doing this for kids and I use enough pictures for all the kids. Place the pictures on the floor and the slips of paper with the picture names in a bowl. Start the scary music. The kids walk around until the music stops. Each kid must stand on a picture. Draw a slip from the bowl and whoever is standing on that item wins. I always keep doing it until all the kids win a prize.
You can give everyone a cup and some candy corn. Put the cup or bottle (depending on degree of difficulty you want) on the group and have them stand up straight and drop candy corn in the cup. Set a timer for 2 minutes and see who can get the most candy corn in their cup during that time.
We did the toilet paper mummy game someone else described and the kids loved it.
I also made a halloween bingo game. Spell ghost at the top of the cards instead of bingo. I was doing it for little kids so I used Halloween stickers to make the cards. Then used the stickers to make cards to draw to call.

I saw some great ghost cakes in a magazine the other day. Buy some mini swiss rolls and chop in half and sit upright on the plate. Cut out a circle of fondant icing and arrange over the top to look like a ghost, then stick a couple of chop drops or those silver balls on for eyes. They look great!

Answer 4

Instead of pin the tail on the donkey have you tried pin the big nose on the witch, my children enjoyed this game at their Halloween party. You can get your children to make and cut out the witch and noses keeps them occupied for hours, whilst you prepare the food.

Answer 5

Games - Get some rolls of toilet paper/tissue and have a competition who can wrap a person up as a mummy the quickest! get into teams of 2 or 3. Its always very popular.

Food - Hot dog sausages with tomato ketchup to look like severed fingers.
Jelly (or jell-o) with the little jelly bugs you can buy.

Drinks - Make a fruit punch.....make it green to look like a swamp or red and call it something gory.

Answer 6

make up a spooky story , with eyeballs, worms, slime and a spooky ghost(not to scary a bit funny if you have young kids) then using props like pickled onions, spaghetti, custard and a torch to shine up on your face or someone else who is helping read the story - go into a darkened room and tell the story add a bit of background music for atmosphere and let every one touch the props when you reach that part in the story - when I did it I finished the story with surprise gift and surprised everyone when I pushed the lid off the box with my hand in a hairy glove inside the box.

Answer 7

I like making a cake that looks like a rotting corpse - lots of food colourings with sugar icing, etc applied to suitably shaped bits of cake. Got the idea from the internet a while ago. Goes down a storm.

Child dunking is a bit of a hoot, but the kids start to blub after a while, especially when they see what is going to happen to them.
