Make a Mummy

Supplies needed:
One toilet roll for each team
Roll of sellotape for each team
Mask for each team
Bags for cleaning up

Divide the kids into teams and give each team a toiletroll (white) and some sellotape. When you start the clock/music each team picks a child on their team to wrap up in the toilet paper as a mummy (make sure they don’t wrap their hand to their body). When the teams are finished give each mummy the same mask to wear and ask them to dance to the monster mash song. The best mummy team win a prize. Make sure you have plenty of rubbish bags to gather up all the toilet paper afterwards!

Spider Web

Supplies needed:
Odd Balls of wool in black – one for each child

Children stand in a circle. Give everyone a ball of wool the end of which each child should tie around their waist.

To start the game shout “My oh my, it’s a fly! Start spinning” Every child then tosses their ball of wool to any other child except one immediately beside them. On catching the wool, each child wraps it again around their waist. When everyone is done, get the kids to repeat the fly rhyme again and throw the balls a second time. Repeat this process about ten times and the whole group will be tied up in a spider’s web. When the game finishes, the first player to get themselves untangled, without the aid of a scissors, is the winner.

Make sure you don’t use twine for this game as if the kids wrap it too tight it won’t break – whereas wool will snap. Watch to make sure no-one wraps it around their neck!

Pop the Balloon

Supplies needed:
At least 2 balloons for each child (maybe one black, one orange)
Enough "treats" for each balloon to have one

Add the "treat" inside each balloon and blow up. Tie the balloon. Dump all the balloons on the floor and tell the children how MANY they may pop. The children must pop the balloons by sitting on them and bouncing.

Treat ideas: spiders, rings, candy, mini balls, anything small that will fit inside a balloon.

Supplies needed:
Small pumpkin (scooped out) or small bucket
Cooked spaghetti, olive oil, treats, kitchen paper (to wipe hands)
