Pumpkin Golf:
Object of Game: Hit the golf ball into a pumpkin.
Preparation: Carve out a pumpkin. Make the mouth extra large. Build a cardboard ramp about one to two feet side from the ground to the bottom of the pumpkin's mouth. You will probably need some support under the cardboard. Tape the ramp to the floor for stability. Mark a starting point a few feet from the start of the ramp. The older the kids, the farther away they should putt.
Playing the Game: Each player gets to hit a golf ball three times. Each time the ball goes into the pumpkin, the player wins a piece of candy. From Pumpkin Nook's Halloween Party Games

Pumpkin Bowling Paint six 2-litre bottles to look like candy corn, orange, yellow, and white... and fill them half-full of water, put the caps back on. Set up bales of hay for the edges of the "lane" ... Choose small, easy to handle, fairly smooth pumpkins so they will roll more easily. Let the kids take turns rolling pumpkins toward the bottles and see if they win a prize!

A Halloween Party Idea for School Age Kids - Fun Games to Play By Nancy Johnson Halloween is a favorite holiday for kids. They love being able to dress in costumes, carve pumpkins and attend a party. A Halloween party idea for school age kids includes playing fun games. I have listed several fun games that you can play either at a school or home party. The mummy wrap game calls for teams of four kids. One will become the mummy and the other three will wrap him or her in toilet paper. This is a timed game, so a loud kitchen timer works great. Give each team several rolls of toilet paper; set the timer for a couple of minutes and say GO. When the timer rings or you stay STOP, the team with the mummy who is wrapped the most is the winner. Set up a miniature golf game either indoors or outdoors. You can use an empty tin can for the hole. It is a lot of fun if you can obtain large plastic bones for the clubs and draw an eye on a plastic golf ball. See who can make a hole in one. Another physical activity is a monster tag and capture game. You’ll need an area about the size of a volleyball court. The kids stand at one end of the line. One player, Frankenstein Monster, stands about six feet in front of the group (facing the same direction). The monster walks forward with the group following calling out Frankenstein are you alive? The monster stops, turns and points to one child saying who are you? The child may answer any Halloween creature (rat, bat, pumpkin, ghost, goblin black cat, etc.). The monster than turns and the group continues to follow asking the same question. At any time a child answering the monster may say they are Frankenstein, the monster then chases the group back to the starting line. Establish a finish line, and someone needs to say Frankenstein before the monster reaches this line. Anyone tagged or caught by the monster goes to the centerline, and the game is repeated. The last players caught are the winners. Another Halloween party idea is to have a Freeze Dance. Play Halloween songs like the Monster Mash, Purple People Eater, or Attack of the Killer Tomatoes to play this game with. Have a dance contest with the winners being who can dance the silliest, slowest, fastest, etc. As a mother, grandmother, and child development professional, Nancy Johnson, shares over 20 years experience working with children and planning activities on her website, Creative-Child-Activity-Notebook.com.

Consider having a Fortune Teller at your Halloween Event! Set up a gypsy style tent, colorful, with a table inside - use sheets or fabric hung from the ceiling indoors, any private location with seating for 2 or 3. Decorate with yards of fabric, pillows, jewels, mood lighting, electric candles only (be careful). You can hire a professional fortune teller, or if you have someone who enjoys it, let them use their preferred method of foretelling the future. It's always fun to have them dress as a gypsy. Sometimes its fun just to tell people something about themselves, rather than trying to predict the future. Runes, Tea leaves, Astrology (zodiac), Numerology, Palm reading, and of course Tarot - are methods that can be used. Keep the readings lighthearted and fun ... Dreadwilliam's "The Fool's Tarot" is the only comedy tarot deck I've ever seen. Every card is brightly colored and humorous. A funny reference guide is also available... these readings are really easy for anyone.

"Pumpkin Carving Party"
During a recent online chat with Snoo, she told me how she's having her 2nd annual carving party this year,
for her 10 year old daughter and about 5 friends....
I thought, what an adorable idea! It's a perfect pre-halloween party theme, without the hassle of costumes.

Make sure you have plenty of pumpkins for everyone, and all the tools necessary.

Include scrapers, spoons of all sizes, varied knives (depending on the ages of your guests), chisels,
straight pins, nails, construction paper, yarn, spaghetti works well for spiky hair - uncooked of course, sharpies to draw with, candles, glow sticks, drinking straws, stencils....

Keep the mess in check with plenty of Halloween plastic tablecloths on the tables and floor.

Provide plenty of bowls or trash bags to hold the stringy "guts".

If anyone's inspired, have them clean and roast the seeds from all the pumpkins during the party.

Simple Halloween decor is all you need - the real star of the party is the jack o'lanterns!

Encourage children to wear washable clothes,
no costumes required for this simple halloween-time party

The carved pumpkins are perfect favors for everyone to take home,
or to plan the party on a budget, have everyone B.Y.O.P. Bring your own pumpkin!

Or, provide all the pumpkins, keep them afterward,
and require that the guests stop by Halloween night to see their creation on display in your yard.
How's that for some free-halloween-labor trickery? ~ nancy

A Note from Nancy - I'm not a big horror movie fan, but I do have a few favorites. The following are somewhat more funny than scary, but with plenty of gore to go with your halloween movie-night theme!
	Slither - Having written for the jubilant trash-mongers at Troma Films before scripting 2004's well-received remake of Dawn of the Dead, writer-director James Gunn crafted this hilarious splatter-fest as an homage to the comically violent horror films of the 1970s and '80s, and he gets it just right with a low-budget look, perfect casting, grisly make-up effects and judicious use of CGI gore. (amazon review)
	Shawn of the Dead - There comes a day in every man s life when he has to get off the couch and kill some zombies. "Shaun of the Dead" isn't so much a zombie movie, as a love story with zombies -- a very funny one, with lots of gore. (amazon)
	Cannibal! The Musical is the funniest "cannibal" movie you will ever see. A college film from the creators of South Park!! .....only a little gore, but.....really really really funny.... a great party movie for adults, and the commentary track is hilarious as well!
