For younger children why not play a game of pumpkin bowling? Find some of those affordable plastic pumpkin treat buckets and stack them up on a solid floor.

Kids of all ages like making mummies out of themselves and their friends . This is how it works. You need to have a LOT of toilet paper . Split into teams of 2 . When you begin timing the kids, they must wrap up their teammate in the toilet paper, mummy style . The first team completely wrapped first wins . The child wrapped up like a mummy can burst out of the toilet tissue wrap and make a loud, scary "roar" and the game starts ove again so the other child has a chance be wrapped. Be sure to play some spooky Halloween music during the action and game is being played to set the atmosphere. Circle time! Bring all the children together in a circle and start to tell a spooky story. You can use a classic scary beginning such as: "It was a dark and spooky night..." and let the next person in the circle continue the story. Each child adds something to the story as it moves around the circle. If the children are young, you can keep the story simple and don't use gruesome elements . If the kids are older you can decide how scary the story can be.

Determine the rules ahead of time when preparing for this type of storytelling.
No game has held a childs' interests for more years than the classic game of 'musical chairs". You can play a version of Halloween music and ask the kids to behave as spooky and scary as they know how as they run around the chairs. You can change or alter the rules depending on the ages of the children . For example, for children in the lower grades you can tell them to walk around the chairs until the music stops. As they get older, you can add more challenges such as making scary faces as they walk around the chairs. You're sure to get some creative responses.
Kids love cakewalks, but that is difficult in a classroom or you could have a prize walk. Play some spooky or Halloween-themed music. Have the kids walk in a circle as they do for other events. Have them walk on cardboard cut outs with pictures of ghosts, monsters or Halloween related characters. Someone will stop the music and pull a matching picture out of a pumpkin head.
These are just a few games. You can use your imagination to create more. Ask your class or those at your party to think about ideas. Children (and Adults) are often very creative.
