Cheap Games to Play with Everyday Items for Two Players or More
Oct 26, 2009
Halloween party games are a great way to liven up any Halloween party or to just have a little fun. These games can be played by children or adults and require very little preparation. These games are not limited in the number of people that can play them and each can be adapted to fit a specific situation.
Mummy Wrap
For children five years old through adults. Opposing teams wrap one player in toilet paper. The first one to be completely wrapped wins. Several variations of this game include blindfolding the wrapper, having three people on a team, and having contestants walk without breaking the toilet paper after being wrapped.
Corn Drop
This game is played with a bag of candy corn, a straight back chair and an empty glass. Place the glass on the ground behind the chair. Contestants kneel on the chair and drop candy into the glass. The player who gets the most candy in the glass wins. Use a larger glass with straight sides if it is a children's game, or a smaller glass or one with tapered sides for an adult game to increase the challenge.
Marshmallow Bobbing
Instead of using apples for an apple bobbing contest, large marshmallows are used. Each child uses a straw to suction the marshmallow but sucking in on the straw, pick it up and let it go into a small candy bucket or bowl. The child who picks up the most marshmallows in an allotted period of time (usually 15 seconds) wins. Marshmallows must be in the bowl to be included in the count.
Howling Peanut Winds
A starting line and a finishing line is marked on a long flat table and a line down the center of the table, vertically is marked to form two lanes. Each player receives a straw and a packing peanut. One at a time, each player must blow gently through the straw to send the packing peanut down the table to the finishing line. Two players play at a time, one on each side of the table. The player whose peanut crosses the finishing line first without being blown off the table progresses to the next round. Each player must keep his peanut on his own side of the table. If it falls off the table or crosses into the other player's playing field, that player must start again if the other player hasn't finished his turn yet. The winner of each competition in round one faces another winner from round one in the second round. Play continues until there is only one winner left.
