Fact Box
Have a Frightfully Fun HalloweenMake no bones about it - Halloween is a great time to scare up some fun!
* Play ring around a pumpkin. Paint point values on pumpkins - 5, 10, 15, and 25 - and arrange the pumpkins with the highest point value farthest away. Players stand at a starting line and try to toss a hula hoop around a pumpkin. Each person gets three tries, and high score wins.
* Don't forget the goodie bags. Use markers, paint and crayons to decorate goodie bags for handing out. Wrap up Boo-ti-ful Ghosts in pretty cellophane paper and ribbons and hand them out to guests and trick-or-treaters.
