Having the little ghoul's over for the HALLOWEEN party and you wonder how anybody
could be less clever than you? Don't despair. Here are some easy and fun party
ideas!
Scary Storytelling
For the older & braver Halloween crowd! You need a good story teller and a dark room
for this one. The story teller tells of an old man who lived in an old house on the hill.
No one ever knew what became of him but eventually many body parts showed up around
there . As the story teller tells of the body parts, pass these yucky suggestions
around in separate boxes so the guest can reach in and feel them!
Find your own scary Halloween story to frighten your friends!
Bones - Carrots
Brains - Crumbles tofu
Eyeballs - Peeled grapes
Intestines - Wet spaghetti
Fingers - Cheese sticks
Liver - A canned peach
Skin - Oil a flour tortilla
Teeth - Unpopped popcorn
Tongue - Slice of bologna
Hair - Corn silk
Hand - Fill a latex glove with water, drape it over a bowl to give it some shape and
freeze it. Just before the party, stick it in a box with some dirt so they will have
to feel around for it.

Add green food coloring to lemonade. Place in a punch bowl, and or better if
you have a witch's cauldron. add Ice cubes (see ice cube recipe).
Halloween Frozen Hands

Halloween Boo How-To
Just because the days are getting
shorter and the nights are getting cooler, doesn't mean you have
to remain inside cooped up away from friends and neighbors. Get outside
and enjoy the moonlight with this fun and friendly Halloween activity
that stays clear of the tricks and makes the treats oh so sweet!
As Halloween approaches, maybe the week
or so before the 31st, make up 3 or 4 goodie Bags with
fun Halloween favors inside. Use a fun mix of candy, toys, and
wearables so that the whole family will have something to enjoy. Here
are some ideas to help fill your bags full:
Multicolored Pumpkin Light
Alien Test Tube Slime
Boo Straws
Pumpkin Nail Polish
Spider Yo-Yo Ball
Glow Items
Head Boppers
Cherry-Filled Eyeball
Gumballs
Flashing Halloween Rings
Make a small sign to put on your
neighbor's door that says, "We've Been Boo'd". Maybe have your kids
draw a picture of a ghost on the sign for added fun and color.
Next, print off the following poem and
stick a copy in each goodie bag to explain the surprise and to make sure
the fun gets spreads to all!
Since this is the time for goblins
and bats,
For Halloween spirits, for ghosts and cats,
For weird happenings and witches' brew,
These are the things that I wish for you...
May the only spirit you chance to
meet
Be the spirit of love and friends warm and sweet.
May the only goblin that comes your way
Be this Neighborhood Phantom you must give away.
"Tis much better to give than to
receive" goes the old verse
And something this easy won't empty your purse.
It's your turn to pass along a treat and a BOO
Because now the Neighborhood Phantom is little old YOU!
So by this time tomorrow, pick three
friends sweet,
And give to them each a Halloween treat.
You have only one day - so you'll need to hurry -
Leave a treat on the doorstep, ring the bell and then scurry!
Signed,
The Phantom!
So fill up your goodie bag, fill a few
Balloons with Helium, and tie them to the handles for a
boo-rific surprise! After dark, maybe right before bedtime, dress your
kids in all black and sneak out for some crazy, quiet, sneaky fun!
Here's how it works: Creep up to your friend's door and attach the
ghost sign to the front door, leave the goodie bag with the poem at the
step, ring the doorbell and RUN LIKE CRAZY! Do this to 3 or 4 neighbors
in one evening. The idea is for everyone in the neighborhood to get "boo'd"
and besides, it's always a festive mystery to find out who did the
"booing" and where it started.
