Make a Spider Web

All you need for this fun game is a ball of black, white, or
silver yarn or string and a few kids. Have everyone stand
around in a circle. Ask one child to hold one end of the string
and then toss the ball to another kid. Each child holds on the
string and then tosses it to someone else. Before you know it
you'll have a great spider web.

Mummy Contest

Grab a few rolls of toilet paper and match the kids up in
pairs. Of course you could also have them choose partners. Ask
each pair to decide which one of them will be the mummy and who
will do the wrapping. Then - you guessed it - have one of the
children wrap the toilet paper around the other, creating a
mummy.

You can either make it a contest of speed or one of creativity.
For the first, the team that has a completely wrapped mummy
first wins. For the second contest, the kids take as long as
they need to and you get to play judge and pick the best
looking mummy.

Eyeball Race

Start with a plain ping-pong ball for each child. Use a Sharpie
marker and draw on it to turn it into an eyeball. You can simple
draw the pupil, or for a scarier version, add some red wiggly
lines to make the eyeball look bloodshot.

Give each child a spoon and drop one of the eyeballs in each
spoon. Now it's time to race. The child that reaches the finish
line with the eyeball in the spoon first wins.

There you have it - three fun games you can play with your kids
to pass the day until it is time to go trick-or-treating. These
games are also a lot of fun at a Halloween party. Get your kids
playing them and watch all the spooky fun.
