It all begins with decorating. Of course you want to decorate. Let your kids help. Make it as simple or as creative as you wish.
Cut out pumpkins and ghosts from construction paper and hang from the ceiling with string or yarn.
Run orange and black twisted crepe paper streamers across the ceiling and intersperse orange and black balloon around the room.
Get a couple bales of hay and dried corn stalks and fill up a corner with some pumpkins or gourds scattered about!
Now is the time to use those orange Christmas tree lights and now producers have all kinds of Halloween party lights, streamers, garlands etc.
Food is very important at any party, so check out some of the recipes we have for you by clicking here.
GAMES
What is a party without games?
Ghost: a variation of hide and seek. The person who is IT tags the kids he finds and they become ghosts who roam around and help IT find the others.
Ghost Bingo. Modify the traditional bingo using the letters G H O S T. Make new playing cards with orange construction paper and draw a pumpkin or other Halloween item in the center 'free' space and putting the letters G H O S T at the top instead of Bingo. The caller will call the numbers changing the B I N G O letters to say G H O S T.
Provide candy corn to be the markers that the kids can eat after the game. The winner will shout out BOOOOO instead of Bingo.
Play a few games and give out prizes to the winners. Every child who did not win should get some kind of consolation prize/token.
Jack - o- lanterns. Instead of carving them, have the kids use magic markers or water paints to paint the faces. They get to take their new friend home with them after
Pin the Nose on the Pumpkin. Just like pin the tail on the donkey, however make a big Jack-o-Lantern out of orange paper and make a face with out the nose. Make several noses that the kids can pin on Jack.
