Halloween Pumpkin Games

The pumpkin games are perfect for classroom Halloween parties or Halloween party for students and small children. You will need three small pumpkins and 30 clear soda bottles. Ask the class to collect 2 liter bottles of clear soda for the Halloween. Clean these bottles and put some gravel or sand in the bottle to keep them straight. Paint them white and use a black marker to draw the eyes and mouth of the ghost on them. These ghosts are to be targets the pumpkins will serve as the bowling balls. Use the white paint to make the bowling alley in the class. Arrange the bottle ghosts like the striking targets. Ask the students to come one by one to bowl over the ghosts.

If they manage to strike the ghosts in the first alley, they get another chance to bowl in the next alley. The student, who manages to strike and make the maximum number of bowl ghosts fall, wins and receives a prize. You can also divide the class in two or more lines, depending on the strength of your class. Each line should have six to eight children. The pumpkin is kept on the first child in the line. As you give a sign to start, the first child passes the pumpkin over his or her head to next in line, who passes it under his or her legs and passes it to the next child who again passes it over his or her head and so on. At the end, the last person has to run with the pumpkin on the head to the first position in line and keep the game going. The team that has the first person in the line back to his or her position at the earliest, wins.
