If you're the Halloween host this year, you'll need some great games and some unique Halloween props to make your party a hit! ! So Kidzworld has come up with a few ideas for ya - we guarantee you'll have a very "goo" time with these slimy, scary and spooky games.
Bobbing for Apples
You can't have a Halloween party without playing this classic game! It's easy - all ya have to do is float apples in a large tub filled with warm water. The object of the game is to grab an apple in your mouth without using your hands. To make things even more challenging, try removing the stems from the apples. Happy bobbing!

Pin the Wart on the Witch
Like Pin the Tail on the Donkey, this bewitching game has you pinning a wart on a witch. Draw and color a witch on a large piece of paper, cut out circles from black construction paper and stick tape on the back to make the witch's warts. Then blindfold the players, spin them around three times and have 'em pin ugly warts on the witch! The player who sticks the wart closest to the nose wins.
Build Your Own Scarecrow
In groups of two or more, create a super scary scarecrow out of old clothes, pillowcases (for the head), felt markers, newspapers and tape in only 20 minutes. Hand out prizes to the scariest and funniest scarecrows, and then place 'em outside your house so that trick-or-treaters will get spooked!
Pumpkin Carving Contest
A Halloween party isn't complete without jack-o'-lanterns! You'll need to buy enough pumpkins for each of your pals, and ask the 'rents or some other adult to help you cut and carve them. Have fun while you take out the guts of the pumpkins and carve them into spooky masterpieces! Click here for some great pumpkin carving ideas.
