 For years children were able to celebrate Halloween in the traditional way of going for house to house saying "Trick or Treat". Knowing that there would always be a treat. However times have changed, in many areas it is no longer to practice this tradition. But we can always try new things to have a bashing Halloween. Below are mentioned a few of the party ideas which can make your day and definitely a wonderful party...So ENJOY!
 
GAMES : -
 
 

Treats 'n Guts -  Fill a large container with something disgusting like spaghetti, jello.... Place candies in zip lock sandwich bags and bury in spaghetti. Turn off lights and have the kids dig for their prizes.
OR buy little plastic prizes and place directly in container. 

Pass Along Jack - Using  small plastic Jack-o-lanterns, or a miniature pumpkin Line up in teams. The first person in each team is given a Jack-o-lantern to place under his chin. He must pass it to the next in line but neither may use his hands. The first team to get  it all the way to the last person is the winner. If the Jack-o-lantern is dropped ,  just pick it up and continue from there.

Little Piggies - Spread a pile of wrapped candy on a table or large tray. Give each child a container (small bag, bowl, paper cup).  Giving the children only a set time (like 30 seconds) Each child is to get as much candy in their container as they can, WITH OUT using their hands. When time is up the one with the most pieces wins. However every one gets to keep what they got.

Pin the Nose on Jack - Played just like "Pin the tail on the Donkey" .  Before the party Draw a Jack-o-lantern  (minus the nose) on a piece of poster board. Hang on wall.  Cut one nose for each child. Just before the child plays have him/her write their name on their nose. Then place a piece of double stick tape on back. 

Mummy Wrap - Break into teams of  three. Have two member s of each team on one side of the room and the other  member across the room. Give each pair a roll of white  bath tissue.  When the game starts one member must wrap the other too look like a mummy. The person must be totally covered expect for eyes. Once the person is wrapped, the must walk like a mummy across the room to their team member.  Then the other team member must carefully unwrap the mummy. Now the one who was the mummy must now wrap the other person using the same tissue. Again once wrapped, that person walks across the room. The the one waiting must repeat the process. The first time to have all three mummies walk wins.

 
 
Decorations :-
 
 

The Haunted Room - Great place for the kid to sleep if you are brave enough to be having a slumber party,

Cover windows with blankets, garbage bags or foil to block light.

Remove breakables!!!!!

Cover furniture with cheap black fabric. This serves two purposes: one it looks cool and most important it protects the furniture!

Floating Ghosts - Cover helium filled balloons with pieces of white cloth. Old sheets are great! Draw eyes with black marker.  You can also do ghosts by simply using white balloons and drawing the face directly on them.  Use little pumpkins for weights.

 

 
 

Wax  Paper Ghosts - Pull off a large  piece of wax paper, bunch up into a ball. Tear off two to three more pieces, drape over first piece, tie with string, yarn, rubber band... under ball. This will make the head. Draw eyes with black marker. Hang from ceiling with fishing line.

Spider Webs
- Pull cotton batting apart and drape across furniture and hang in door ways. Attach little plastic spiders.

Fog - Place dry ice in a container of warm water. Rectangle flower boxed are great, because of their shape and size. Simply set on floor next to the wall. Warning keep small children away from ice.

Dead Body - Stuff old paints and shirt, place in lying position on a drip cloth or piece of plastic. Place a hat over the top of shirt, giving allusion of it being placed over a face. Fill bowls with assortment of fake guts. Open shirt and place bowl inside exposing contents, Rip open holes in other places of clothing and do same, For a extra touch garnish with ketchup.

Majority rules. You could also have a secret vote and have your guests put names in a hat or plastic pumpkin. Prizes can be as simple as a blue ribbon or perhaps a Halloween candy.


Bobbing for Apples
A traditional harvest time game



Float apples in a large wash tub filled with water. The object of this game is to grab one of the apples and remove it from the water without using your hands. You must use only your mouth. This is a very messy, very wet, and very fun game. It is even more challenging if the stems are removed from the apples.


Halloween Word Scramble
An old parlor game.



This simple game can be played individually or in pairs. Give everyone paper and pencil. How many words can be made using only the letters in "Halloween" or "Trick or Treat"?
