What's a game without a winner, and colse to the holidays, what's a winner without a prize? If you're going to plan Halloween games for your children, having some great prizes for the winner (and for all participants) can make them even more fun. Here are some ideas for awards:
Small Halloween Pumpkins Filled with Candy: Many children like to carry large plastic Halloween pumpkins when they go trick-or-treating. You can also find very small versions of these, which can be awesome for prizes to Halloween games. Fill them with candy or other Halloween items.
Stickers: Kids - both boys and girls - love Halloween stickers. These can be used to personalized school items like folders and notebooks, and you'll probably find them on your child's faces and hands as well. You can find Halloween stickers in many designs, and most are fairly inexpensive.
Candy Corn Filled Gloves: Find clear, plastic gloves and fill them with candy corn or, for a healthier option, popcorn. These have the "creepy" look you need for Halloween but kids in effect love them!
Candied Applies: If you want to make sure that everybody gets a prize for participating, try starting a production line for candied apples. Allow the winner of the game to go first and have the kids line up to roll their applies in caramel and peanuts, small chocolate chips, or color coated candies. everybody can make their own just they way they like it!
Plastic Bugs: Halloween is all about crawly, slimy things, so plastic bugs make great options. You can find these for relatively limited money in just about any toy store, and most dollar stores also carry them in packs. Hide the bugs like you would hide Easter eggs and let the kids keep whichever ones they find. Just be prepared in case you find the lost ones under your pillow or in the middle of the seat cushions.
Coupon prizes: If you're playing Halloween games with just your children, you can give out coupons as prizes. Make them for things one day without having to make your bed or one free toy the next time you're at the mall. Kids love not having to do their chores, and these are prizes you can make pretty in effect without much planning.
Hours of Tv or Computer Time: If your kids fight over what to what on television or who gets to use the computer first, let them play a game with the winner being allowed to choose the agenda or use the computer first. And what games can you play? There are tons from which to choose! If you want a more traditional game, choose bobbing for apples, but you can also pin the nose on the Jack-o-Lantern, race to "mummify" one someone else with toilet paper, and use magnets and paper clips to "fish" for prizes. The bottom line? Have fun with it! Join in some of the fun by getting complicated yourself. Halloween games - especially if there are some prizes complicated - can be great for the whole family.
