Organizing a Halloween party for kids can be both quite enjoyable and at the same time challenging. There are several things that you will need to plan ahead and a whole bunch of things that could possibly go wrong. Plus, you’re talking about planning a ghoulish Halloween party for kids whose attention span can be as short as a candle fuse. The party can easily go out of control with kids getting rowdy, trying to best one another with their costumes, treats, etc.

Although having some sort of control would be a great but also remember that this is a children’s party, an iron hand rule would be overdoing it. Now there are several ways to make your audience listen. One way would be to make them busy by having them participate in party games. There are quite a number of party games that you can organize that would certainly grab the attention of your kids.

If you’re familiar with the game called Mummy Wrap, you know the kids will be glad to participate with this one. As the name of the game implies, it involves wrapping someone with mummy wraps which in our case equates with a roll of toilet paper. The game is simple. You just need to group the kids into small groups and have them designate someone to wrap. At your cue, the wrap the “mummy” with toilet paper from head to feet. The group that were able to wrap fully their mummy the fastest would be the winner.

Several Halloween games I know are just variations of exiting party games. We have the Halloween musical chairs and the freeze dance. Both I’m certain you already know. It doesn’t hurt to be a little creative with your chairs. You can easily make the children feel it’s a Halloween game it you make the chairs ghoulish looking like maybe making them appear like tombstones or using darker colored chairs and adding some cobwebs.

And don’t forget the music. You can easily find Halloween music in the nearest record store or in the internet. For further enjoyment, you can ask the kids to dance in a “monstery” or ghoulish kind of way. You can even give a prize to the kid that will give the best monster dance.

Don’t forget to give prizes to your game winners. This will encourage them to participate ze to the kid that will give the best monster dance.

Don’t forget to give prizes to your game winners. This will encourage them to participate in the next games.

Another game which seems to popular is the building a scarecrow game. This involves having several groups of children make their won scarecrow using pillow cases, old clothes, newspapers, cardboards, tapes or adhesives, and markers. You will have to prepare some old clothes for this one. The children will definitely enjoy making something that often see in television and books.

You can also have a Halloween candy hunt which basically is a variation of the Easter egg hunt. By this time, we just hope that the kids haven’t discovered yet the candies you hid around the area.

Don’t forget to have a scary story telling time as well. Ask one of your guests or friends to tell a story to the kids at the party. Avoid making the story too scary though.

There are other ghoulish Halloween party games that can still do. Just remember that this is the children’s day and your objective is to have them enjoy the day.

There are many ways to be festive and creative when it comes to making interesting Halloween food. One of the most common ways to show Halloween spirit through cooking is making snacks in shapes of the holiday's associated spooks. For example, you can make cookies in shapes of little ghosts, or sandwiches in shapes of pumpkins. Some people will even go the whole 9 yards and make a completely edible haunted gingerbread house.

There are other things you can do besides just outlining witches.  Maybe you can find some ideas from this list:

* Peeled grapes are a classic Halloween food that is used to simulate the feel of eyeballs to people who have been blindfolded. Most people know this trick by now, but there are still some you can really make wonder about it, and get a few squeals.

* Thankfully not as irritating as peeling grapes, the next is spaghetti. Most people use this for brains. If you want, you can add a green food dye for alien brains. You would be amazed at how real it can look.

* One of the grosser suggestions is putting something unusual in a bowl of red, yellow, green, or even blue Jello. You could put a weird looking baby doll, a fake finger, or simply decorate the top of it to make it look like a melting face.

* A Halloween food that you can use as something you can snack on, as well as use for pranks is a boiled egg, or a marshmallow. Using either of those, you can pretend that your eye fell out. Maybe tip some of it red, or put a little pupil on it. It's advised that you use marshmallows that have been made into little balls. Carry a few of those with you and trick multiple people through the night. Note: If you go with a handful of eggs to try this one, you may start to smell unpleasant.

* Different fruits are good for some entertaining Halloween food. If you carve some apples convincingly into small pieces, you could have someone who is blindfolded believe they're feeling knuckles that have been freshly removed. You could also do that with pears, or even peaches. Another fun fruit idea is to take some cantaloupe and cut them into little slivers. When people feel those, you can tell them they're tongues that you've just taken out of the freezer, explaining the stiffness.

You can probably come up with quite a few spooky food ideas, but if you need the help, snag any of these to attempt to scare and gross out your friends.

What Are Halloween Props For?

Many people enjoy adding Halloween props to their parties, or just when decorating for this special day. These can be skeletons, witches, ghosts, or any number of Halloween decorations. One prop that is quite a lot of fun is a Magic Broomstick. These can be incorporated into classroom or home craft activities for children, too. Literally anyone can make these, and children love watching them come to life.

For each broom, you will need to gather 3 empty paper towel roll tubes, 2 small brown paper lunch bags, brown and yellow yarn, 1 sheet of construction paper, scissors, glue, stapler, paint, masking tape, markers, and a paint brush. Once you have gathered all of your supplies, you are ready to begin.

To start creating your own Halloween Props, paint the tubes whatever color you choose. Many people go with black for this. Cut a couple of strips from the construction paper measuring 6” long and 2” wide. When assembling the broom handle, put the tubes together using the masking tape to keep them connected together. Add a few drops of glue to the paper strips and wrap them around the tape, as you don’t want the tape to show.

To make the broom base of these Halloween props, cut the paper bag into a rectangle. This is done by cutting both sides and the bottom edge from the front of the bag. Cut 8 slits measuring 5” in the base. These serve as the broom bristles. Cover the bristles in glue and add 15 – 20 pieces of the 5” lengths of yarn.  Make sure that you lay the yarn so that the top lines up.

The brown yarn needs to be cut into 5 pieces and glued over the edge of the yellow pieces to look like a border. You can now cut the other paper bag the same way as the first one. This makes the other side of the broom bristles. Once this is done, staple the sides, but not the top, together.

Now, you are ready to add the handle between the bristles to complete the look of these Halloween props. Put the handle about an inch down, and staple the top together. Add a string tied into the shape of a bow around the top of the bristles where the handle comes together. Once the glue has completely dried, you have your very own Magic Broom.

Making several of these and using them to hang up in various parts of the party room will add a look of magic and fun to your gathering. You can bet many people will want to know how you made them, so be prepared to explain the process.
