Looking for a fun - and safe - way to celebrate Halloween with your children? Try throwing a Halloween party, loaded with lots of fun games!

There's no better way to celebrate Halloween than throwing a party for your children and their friends! But how will you keep them busy? Try some of these classic Halloween party games - or invent a few of your own! These are great ideas for classroom use as well.

Wrap the Mummy
Divide the children into groups of three to five kids. Select one child in each group to be a mummy. Then give the other children a roll of toilet paper or crepe paper. Have them wrap the mummy with the paper, leaving the eyes, nose and mouth uncovered. The first group to finish (using the entire roll of paper) wins.

Pass the Pumpkin
This game is very similar to "hot potato". Have the kids sit on the floor in a circle. Give them a small pumpkin to pass around. Play Halloween music as they pass the pumpkin. Stop the music at irregular intervals, and whoever is holding the pumpkin is out. The game continues until one person is left with the pumpkin.

Pin the Nose on the Pumpkin
Make a large cardboard pumpkin and secure it to a wall. Taking turns, blindfold each child and give them a cutout shape of a nose, prepared with double-side tape on the back. Spin the blindfolded child three times, then have them try to pin the nose on the pumpkin.

Pumpkin Penny Toss
Carve out a large pumpkin, leaving a wide opening at the top (or use a plastic pumpkin). Give each child a handful of pennies. Have them stand an appropriate distance from the pumpkin and try to toss the pennies in, one at a time. For each penny that makes it in, give the child a piece of Halloween candy or other small treat.

Ghost Waiter

Prior to the party, set up a simple obstacle course. Divide the children into two or three teams. Taking turns, each child has to balance a balloon on a paper plate while walking it down the obstacle course and back to their team. (Have one child from each team begin at the same time). The first team to have all members complete the obstacle course wins.

Get your child's Halloween party started (at home or at school) with these classic games – and get ready for everyone involved to have a howling good time!

Sexy costumes can bring a new dimension to your relationship
that you have never thought of before. Adult Halloween costumes
are a nice treat every night of the year, not just at Halloween
or to Halloween parties. Costumes are not just for kids anymore
and they are certainly not just for October - dressing up and
acting out with your husband, wife or lover is a great way to
connect in your relationship and have a unique experience
instead of the usual bedroom routine. People like to feel sexy,
exotic and erotic. Some women prefer trashy lingerie or slutty
lingerie. Other women like lingerie that is more elegant and
refined, like French lingerie. No matter what underwear or
undergarments or foundation garments a lady wears she can feel
pretty or cute or naughty depending on the style of costume,
bra, corset or other unmentionables.

A woman does not have to dress like a prostitute or street
walker to feel sexy. There are more styles of sexy dresses and
clothing available for buying online now than there has ever
been before on the internet. There is also a big selection of
intimates in plus sizes for BBW (big beautiful women). Sexy
lingerie can help you feel pretty when you feel fat and lazy and
this boost in self-esteem can do wonderful things for your love
life, opening lines of communication that have been untapped
between you and your partner.

You can spark your romance and your imagination by engaging in
forplay with your spouse while one or both of you wear sexy
costumes.  Teach him a lesson as a sexy teacher - deliver a
special brand of nookie cookies as a sexy Girl Scout - do a sexy
dance as a belly dancer - tend to one another as a sexy nurse or
a sexy doctor.

Some people feel embarrassed to play role playing games, they
feel like dressing up in costumes and acting out a fantasy is a
fetish or something to be hidden and ashamed about. You probably
do not want to broadcast it to the neighborhood or post detailed
pictures on your blog, but done in a loving way between partners
it is a great sexy way to enhance your romantic life with your
partner. With the large selection of leather lingerie available
you can get as naughty as you want or stay tame and cute in your
costume and dress up fantasy play.

Your outfit is just the beginning of the game. You can put on
your costume early in the day and play the part of the girl
scout or nurse or teacher all day long, heightening the
excitement until evening when you go to bed. The possible
stories and fantasies are limited only by your imagination and
your partner's imagination.

any suggestions? thanks!!

Start with describing Halloween night... the sounds, sight, smells, etc. Capture the audience and then lead in by asking a question about how that all started.

Dare you play?

Costumes like the ones below:
- pirate
- french maid
- angel/devil
- princess
- etc

probably, anywhere. i mean not the complete outfit but putting two and two together might make one. besides, this can make your creativity come out naturally.
