Fall Games

Let's Play !!! Let's Play!!! Let's Play!!! Let's Play!!!

Straw Face (Middle school and up) This is a fun to watch 4 - 6 people sitting in chairs facing an audience. Give them each a plastic straw. Facing the audience they put the straws in their mouths holding from the right side. On "go" they must move the straws to its left side by only using their mouths and tongues. This is hilarious with kids making the funniest facial expressions as they move the straws. "Murder in The Dark" Count how many people are playing. Then get as many blank pieces of paper....on one of the papers very lightly write "murderer" then fold them all up and put them in a bowl. Each player chooses a paper and looks at it with out revealing what they see. The person who got the 'murderer' slip of will be the murderer and it's up to the rest to guess who it is......any wrong guesses and that person is out. Everyone sit in a circle and holds hand (best played in the dark!) The murderer starts by squeezing lightly the hand of the person to thier left or right however many times they choose (under five aqueezes) the next person subtracts a squeeze and passes it along, the person next to him subtracts a squeeze and passes it along untill there are no more to squeeze........when someone thinks they know who the murderer is they announce, "I suspect so and so"....if they are wrong they are dead. (out of the game) The first person to guess correctly wins or the last person to be left with the murderer while everyone else is dead wins! Farmer John Relay (Middle school and up) Get two large brown grocery bags. In each put a long underwear, pants with elastic suspenders, bright colored bandana, a crazy wig, shirt, corn cob pipe, hat, etc. Divide into two teams. On the word "go" each team must send a person to the bag. The person must then put on everything over the clothes they are presently wearing and model for 10 seconds. Then take everything off and put it back in the bag and run back to their team so that the next team member can run and model. "Flashlight Tag" This is another game to be played in the dark. Choose someone to be it. The 'it' person has the flashlight and hides his eyes while counting to twenty (or more) Everyone else run and hide! After the "it" person is done counting he tries to find everyone, one by one......if the people can make it back to home base without having the flashlight shined on them they're safe.....BUT if you get the flashlight shined on you you're out! Have fun! "Pumpkin Carving Relay"This relay not for young children.Pre Caution: Only use safe pumpkin carvers. Put people into teams of two or three and give each team a pumpkin. Have someone be the judge/timer. You'll need a stop watch or watch with a second hand. At the signal (go) one person from each team begins to carve their pumpkin. give each person about 3 minutes then yell stop! Then the next team member takes over from where his team mate left off and has 3 minutes to further carve the pumpkin. Again, after three minutes the timer yells stop! and the next team mate goes....on and on untill the pumpkins look like jack o lanterns or apporx 15 minutes which ever comes first. Have someone be the judge...this could also be the timer or the parents in charge of the party it's up to them who wins! "Broomstick Relay" The larger the group the better.....you'll need a large space or do this outside. And you will need as many broomsticks as you have teams. Divide everyone up into even teams. Then line them all up at a starting point. Have an end goal line. Give each team a broom stick (any broom will do) At the signal (go) each person puts the broom between thier legs and gallops to the goalline...then gallop back and hand it off to the next person. On and on untill everyone has had a turn. First team to finish wins! You can vary this game by requiring the teams to hop rather than gallop. You can also vary it by having the lead person 'pick' up the next one and they both travel on the broomstick together to the end and back, adding the next team member and so on....this variation is TONS of fun! (better with smaller teams of three or less) "Bobbing for apples"For this game you need a wide mouth bucket or a good old fashioned wash tub! Oh, and apples! The bigger the apples the more fun this is. Make sure you wash all apples first, fill your tub or bucket with water (about halfway) then put apples into the tub (about 10- use your own judgement) Have a watch with a second hand, timer or stop watch handy. You can do this in teams or individually. Give each contestant about one minute to do this. One at a time, each contestant has hands behind thier back (no hands!) If you decide to do this in teams or as a relay use two buckets of water and apples and line team members up. On the signal "GO" each contestant puts thier head into the bucket and try to grab an apple out of it with thier mouth only.....once they've got one - mark the time and record it. If they dont get one within a minute it's the nex persons turn. At the end of the game the person who was able to grab an apple within the shortest amount of time will win! If you do this in teams no need to record times.....just make sure both contestants dont go over one minute, when one minute is up next two contestants try. When everyones had a turn the team with the most apples wins. Tip: Once an apple has been bitten dont reuse it. Pumpkin Toss (All ages) Similar to egg tossing. Use a small pumpkin per two players. The two people toss the pumpkin back and forth to each other, each time stepping back away from each other. The person wins who does not drop the pumpkin. Special Halloween Games Page
