I use a banana smashed into a brush, jello, cooked spaghetti with raisins, cooked rice, flower blossoms, meat of a pumpkin, hair gel…well you get the picture. The first step is to have the children put their hand into one box at a time. Then show the child what was really in there. Teach Halloween Safety Rules: 1.

Identifying Holidays Game Procedure: Teacher pretends not to know what Halloween is, and keeps describing the wrong holiday; children correctly label the holiday described. The Pumpkins Are Here Procedure: Give each child a pumpkin cutout that has been mounted on a craft stick. Then as verse is recited, have children hold their pumpkins as indicated by the words.
The pumpkins are here; the pumpkins are there. The pumpkins, the pumpkins are everywhere. The pumpkins are up; the pumpkins are down. The catch is they have to use a spoon and can't touch the candy corn with their hands.
The team that finishes transferring the candy corn between its bowls first wins. This Halloween game will get kids moving. Kids hold hands to form a "worm" and then run from one spot to another trying to keep their worm intact. It can be played by teams or just be a fun activity for all the kids to do together. Split kids into teams, and provide each team with a scarecrow and a bag of clothes. Then, have the kids dress the scarecrow one article of clothing at a time in a relay race format.
The first team with a fully dressed scarecrow wins. Create a pumpkin out of posterboard or cardboard, and make a separate stem for it. Then, blindfold kids and have them try to pin the stem on the pumpkin. You can use masking tape on the stem if the kids are too young for pushpins. Fill a jar with Halloween candy, and have kids guess how many pieces are in the jar. The winner either guesses correctly or is closest to the correct number.
They can take home the jar—after sharing a piece with everyone, of course. This game is a fun twist on musical chairs. Print out Halloween-related images, and spread them around the room. Have smaller versions of the images to put in a jar. Have Halloween music playing, and when it stops the kids must choose an image on which to stand. Pull an image from your jar. Anyone standing on that image is out of the game. Remove the image, and keep playing until there's a winner.
Partner up kids for this fun and active game. The object of the game is for one kid to catch candy corn thrown by their partner in a plastic pumpkin worn around their waist. The duo that's able to make the most pieces of candy corn in the bucket wins.
Divide the kids into two teams, and assign each team a color. Supply each team with several pumpkins, with their bottoms painted in the team color.
