Did my research ......

I did some research today and found a couple of games that MIGHT work .... I sent the list to Austin's teacher for her approval .... since she knows the kids much better than I do ....

First my thought is to put the games in "stations" and have some of the other "parent helpers" man those stations ....

Station #1 - Decorate your own cookie/cupcake (since we can only bring store bought cookies/cupcakes, I'm going to ask the bakery to make me some non decorated sugar cookies and cupcakes.

Station #2 - Pin the tail on the cat. (after EVERYONE is done with this station give prize to the one that got the closest) Requesting the Art Teacher make me a Cat.

Station #3 - Halloween Memory - Put different objects onto a platter and give the kids a couple of seconds to review ... the child who is able to name the most objects on the platter wins.

Station #4 - Pumpkin toss - using a pumpkin the kids trick-or-treat with, have them toss bags of candy into the pumpkin. The child that makes it keeps the candy they tossed ...

Station #5 - Build a Skeleton Race - (don't think this will work as a race....) but the most creative skeleton wins .... before hand I'd get together skeleton bones ... (cut out from paper) and some brads or glue for each child.

Station #6 - String Licorice Race -- this is an every event favorite that these kids have played since kindergarten. In this game, you attach a marshmellow to the end of the licorice, they place the licorice between their teeth and race another student, the first to have the marshmellow in their mouth without using their hands wins and goes against the next student ... This game is most fun when they are missing their 2 front teeth ....

The last game I had was for the students to guess who the ghost was ... divide the class -- boys vs girls or whatever, take one group into the hall, put the ghost costume or sheet onto one student and have them enter the room ... the remaining students have to guess which student is the ghost ....

What do you think ???? Lame??
