Object
of the Game:
Like "Pin the
Tail on the
Donkey", this
game has you pinning a
nose on a
Jack-O-Lantern.
What
To Do:
You can use a real
pumpkin, an artificial
pumpkin or large
drawing or picture of
a pumpkin on cork
board. Pre cut and
have ready a black
construction paper
nose. The pumpkin
should have eyes and a
mouth already cut out
or glued on with an
open spot for the
nose. Blindfold each
player as they take a
turn to play. Spin
each player around
three times and let
them go. They must try
to pin the nose on the
pumpkin in the correct
spot. The other kids
can yell
"Hot" or
"Cold" if
they are missing the
pumpkin completely.
Use a push pin to
attach the nose, it's
easier on little
thumbs and not as
dangerous as regular
thumbtacks for
attaching a nose. For
smaller children, use
tape. The player that
comes closest to the
right spot is the
winner.
What
You Need:
A pumpkin (real,
artificial or made
from cardboard). A
pumpkin nose made from
black construction
paper. Pushpins or
tape. A blindfold.
Pass
The Pumpkin
Object
of the Game:
This game is played in teams
that race to be the
first to pass
the miniature pumpkins
without using their hands.
What
You Do:
Pick teams of about six to
eight people and have them
stand in a line. You
can go boy-girl or random.
For a teen party, boy/girl
maybe a great ice breaker
for the kids. Each team gets
a mini pumpkin which the
first person places under
their chin. The mini pumpkin
is passed down the line,
person to person by holding
it under their chin and
passing it this way, no
hands allowed!! The person
holding the mini pumpkin can
stand in front of the next
person for easier
passing. All teams
start at the same time,
first team to get their
pumpkin to the end of the
row and back again to the
starting person is the
winner.
