Ghoulish games
Apple-bobbing? Meh. This is a time to embrace one's inner-zombie. As long as Halloween party games have a high-squelch quotient, they'll go down a treat.

- Pin the Witch on the Broom. We also made 10 broomsticks using long wrapping paper tubes with strips of cardboard taped round the end. We then had broom-racing around the garden. CJinSussex
- One of our best games is Make a Mummy - teams of two have a loo roll each and have to mummify a team member in 60 seconds. Thefoxsbrush
- Buy some rubbery worms and put them in some green jelly for a Catch the Worm game - if you're brave enough to retrieve one, you get a prize. FlipFloppinRubyRioja
- Blindfold jelly eating is hysterical - two children at a time trying to feed each other with jelly. fortyplus
- Use teeth only to get marshmallows from a plate of icing sugar. janeite
- Ghost hunting - turn lights off, children have to sneak about finding a) each other b) adults c) some sort of prop. S1ur
- Guess the body part - you need to prepare a number of items and place them on a table either hidden inside shoe boxes (with a hand-hole cut in the side) or simply under separate tea towels. All the party guests stand outside the door and are brought into the (darkened) room one-by-one to feel the items on the table and guess what they could be:
2 hard boiled and shelled eggs (these will feel like eyeballs)
1 rubber glove (preferably the thin transparent kind) filled with flour and secured at the arm end with a rubber band.
1 old wig (feels horrible in the dark)
Plate of cold cooked spaghetti
Piece of pumpkin cut into the shape of an ear
1 raw sausage (you'll obviously need to wash your hands after this)
The best way to play this game is by encouraging the most hysterical guest to play first. Their shrieks only add to the tension felt by those waiting outside the door! ChippyMinton
