Pumpkin bowling! I brought to my kids K class & teacher said kids have never stayed so focused for that long...they loved it. Decorate 2 liters with monster faces, ghosts or whatever and use them as pins. Have a pie pumpkin for the bowling ball.
L., check out Pinterest. There are so many ideas on there.
-Paper plate ghosts (use a white paper plate, tape white crepe paper streamers to bottom, draw a face on the plate)
-make a spiderweb out of tape on the floor, have kids walk the lines and collect prizes like plastic spiders, pencils, bouncy balls or treats
-Play the Monster Mash song and do musical chairs
Toilet Paper roll mummy! Cheap fun!
Pin the face on the jackolantern. You could have the kids make their own little Jackolantern faces and then pin them on a big cut out pumpkin. It can be a craft, making the face (maybe put it on a piece of orange paper so it stays together) and then a game of who can get it in the center of the pumpkin or something.
A friend of mine did that with lego man for a lego party, the kids made their own lego faces and then pinned it on the lego man, and they loved it. They were 5-8 year olds.
For a game that the whole class can play, how about Halloween bingo? You can use pictures of jack-o-lanterns, bats, ghosts, etc. I'm sure you can find some kind of template for the game boards online.
We threw a Halloween party for all ages. We did pumpkin bowling, pin the face on the pumpkin, Bozo Buckets with pumpkins and treats inside, throw the fuzzy ball and have it stick to the pumpkin picture--and all the kids wanted to do was play Halloween Bingo! We stood at the other stations--but everyone was at Halloween Bingo almost the whole time.
We used tiny Halloween erasers for markers. The kids got to keep all their erasers.
GHOSTS: cotton balls, tissues, white yarn, black marker. 1 or 2 cottonballsin the center of a tissue. wrap cottonballs with tissue. Squeeze and twist at neck and tie with piece of white yarn. Take a black marker and draw a face on head of ghost.
Michaels also has a great dollar aisle if you'd like to go that route.
Well, this takes a little prepping but..... have a bunch of pumpkins cut out of construction paper and let the kids decorate them. I had eyes, noses and mouths already cut out as well and they could just pick and choose what they wanted and glue them on. You could always have the kids do all the cutting themselves but it takes a lot longer. Works either way depending on the kids. And if there is enough help we would use glitter and other stuff like buttons, etc. They turned out really nice - a little crazy looking but that was the fun part.
Good luck!!
