It's actually for a Halloween Party I just had in October. I greeted each child at the front door with their choice of either a Boo Bracelet or Boo rings;(printed from a website) one letter
for each finger to spell out B-O-O. I purchased black paper bags from a party store and the kids decorated them with metallic glue/glitter pens and Halloween stickers. (Beforehand I had hid
their goodies for the goodie bags around the house...some in plain sight and some hidden behind things, but up high, so the adults had to help get them down for them.) When they were done
decorating their bags they had to run around the house looking for their goodies.
Each child got a ghost that had a lollipop inside a white tissue and tied with a twisty. I also had black and orange balloons scattered around the floor with toys and candy inside of them. The kids had fun sitting on the balloons and popping them to get their goodie inside. I had saved the plastic containers that toys come inside of from gumball machines and put pieces of paper with numbers on them inside each gumball container; I had made red jello and put the containers with the numbers on them inside of the jello. Each child had to pick a number from one to however many children there were (8) and if they picked that number out of the slimy jello they would win a prize (we had two winners). I bought green (tough) bendy straws with pumpkins on top that they put their mouths and sucked an m&m to the bottom of their straw and ran to drop the m&m's in the bowls. The adults had so much fun watching this, that no one noticed who won, so I had small goodies in clear plastic for each child. For prizes I had pumpkin and ghost sipper cups with big straws (even the big kids loved these). For the grownups I had washed out a mayonaise container and stuffed as many hershey kisses in their that I could, taped the container shut printed out scary, bloodshot eyes from the internet taped them on the container and had the adults guess how many inside and whoever got the closest won the candy...I also did this with a small water bottle. Inside the balloons and around the house was hidden; glow sticks, orange tic tacs (individually wrapped), silly faced paddle ball toys, tiny plastic bugs, tiny plastic snakes, and tiny half round noise makers (from the dollar store)you put them inside out and they make a POP noise as they fly up high. The kids thought it was a birthday party they had so much fun. I also had paper bags with food items around the house inside each one. A friend and I took turns writing each childs name on a pad and writing down what each child thought the slimy or odd feeling thing inside each bag felt like as it would pertain to a body part...the little ones had trouble because they were telling us what they thought the item was, not what part of the body it felt like...we put in two grapes for eyes and my nephew said "grapes" and tried to eat them...
