Hey guys, ya'll helped me out a couple of years ago when i had my grandson's birthday party at our house with Halloween games. Now we are doing it again but he will be 9yo this time. We are doing the costume party and i am decorating scary but wondering if any of you moms have good suggestions for scary or fun games for 9-10yo boys. Thanks all you mommies out there in 4042 land:-D
Year after year I try to have parties at my house for my daughter and her friends. I want them to feel comfortable at our house in hopes that they will hang out here as teens. It has turned out that this is the house they love to come to. We have had various Halloween parties and the best game that the kids have enjoyed throughout the years is below. I give each child a paper and pen to write down their answers and when it comes time to write I have to shine a flashlight on the paper for them. Be sure to get prizes. Kaci...I change the items that they are going to feel from year to year because, believe it or not, they remember what we used the previous year. Please let me know how it goes if you choose this game. We have always decorated the front yard and downstairs and usually have a head where it looks like blood is moving around when one walks up to it. If you have a kid that gets scared easily just turn some of the items off. We move the furniture around in the den and put a futon down so kids can lie down or jump around. I get several scary movies and let them choose but most of the time they eat snacks and scare one another, while waiting on the GAME! My daughter and a close friend usually put the items together and pass them around. They also make sure no one cheats. Have a great party! Make sure to tell them not to put there hands/fingers in their mouth after touching anything and they need to wash up afterwards. We usually have some of those wipes that we give them after they touch something. Last year was the first year I actually used a small piece of liver! We have a blast!!! Grace I remember playing this Halloween game when I was 10, it was gross and tons of fun. This is the perfect game for a children's Halloween party, and I’d bet some adults would like it too. This Halloween game is an oldie but a goody. Using regular every day items to gross out your kids and your kids friends is what Halloween is all about. Gather everyone in a circle on the floor. Lighting should be very dark (only candlelight at the most), you don’t want the kiddies seeing the actual contents. Weave your tale of terror of a young boy or girl who went out trick or treating alone. Jamie was her/his name. Jamie had ventured out from his neighborhood, cutting through the woods to get more neighborhoods. Jamie’s parents had no idea their child had gone so far. As the night loomed on Jamie’s parents became frightened and headed out to look for him. When morning came all they found were these remains. Here is his brain, which now feels no pain. (a peeled squishy tomato) Here are his eyes, still frozen with surprise. (two frozen peeled grapes or olives) Here is his heart. Be careful lest it start! (a large lump of uncooked liver) Now we have his hair, which once was so fair! (a handful of corn silk or wet fur or yarn) Feel these drops of his blood. All the rest turned to mud. (a little ketchup thinned with warm water) One hand all alone, just rotting flesh and bone. (a damp plastic glove filled with red gelatin or ice) Now touch his ear. He nevermore will hear! (a dried apricot) This is his nose. It will never smell a rose. (a pickle, a hot dog or a soft chicken bone) These worms are all that’s left to feel. For this little boy was a lovely meal! (wet spaghetti) Of course you can change the story and say absolutely anything you want. I just think the kids find it scarier if they are thinking this could be them.
halloween we always have a birthday halloween party for my girls. the game they all talk about is the donut game . you take a string between to trees and every three feet hang a string about two feet long down with a donut attached to it . they put their hands behind their backs and try to eat the donut first. sweet sixteens donuts work well. it was cute. plus believe it or not they still love bobbing for apples at any age.
Yes, we used to do this one during the summer at the swimming pool so the kids could jump in after getting sugar all over them. Oh, to be young again. Grace
donut game to save the mess of sugar faces, we always used to buy the regular plain donuts they didnt know the difference. it is just fun eating without hands i guess. an other cute thing to do is get those pie pumpkins and let them decorate them and take them home.
I've had my sons b'day parties Halloween themed. We bobbed for apples in water that was red. I told them it was blood, (don't know why they laughed at me). I did the cooked pasta and blind folded them, they had to dig in for little gifts and I made jello with toy rats in it. I blindfolded them and they had to go digging for the rats. (They didn't know their were toy rats in it till I took off the blindfold. The girls were screaming. I also bought them each a small pumpkin to decorate and we did a pinata (?sp). Before we knew it 3 hours passed
