Throw a spectacularly spooky Halloween party, and invite ghouls and goblins of all ages. Offer a few creative games to keep the party hopping!

Place five witch hats in a line. The first one should be closest to you and the fifth hat should be farthest away. Then, have your guests toss rings onto each hat. The first person to ring all five hats wins. If you don’t have tossing rings, have someone hold the hats upside down, and toss a ball into each one instead.

Write down Halloween people, places and things on pieces of paper. Fold the papers and put them in a bowl. Then have each person, in turn, pick a piece of paper and act out the written words until the game’s audience guesses what’s being acted out. Want more competition? Split the group into teams and award points for correct answers.

Put a Halloween twist on the classic game “Pin the Tail on the Donkey.” Instead of a donkey, feature a pumpkin — either real or made out of orange construction paper. You’ll need pushpins or tape, a blindfold and several pumpkin noses (black construction paper will work). Draw eyes and a mouth on your pumpkin’s face, and hang it up. Blindfold the player, spin them around, hand them a paper nose (secured with a pushpin for adults and tape for children) and direct them toward the pumpkin. Onlookers can shout “hot” or “cold” to help steer the player in the right direction. The player who attaches the nose closest to the right spot wins.

Take a pumpkin and some empty 2-liter soda bottles, and bowl away! For extra fun, tape pictures of Halloween characters to the front of the bottles. Determine how many rounds everyone will play in advance. At the game’s end, the person with the most points wins.

Set out markers, stickers, glue, construction paper, buttons and other household items. Give guests a pumpkin and a 30-minute decoration time frame. Award prizes for the “Prettiest,” “Scariest” and “Most Interesting.”

Don’t want winners or losers? Let kids decorate and take home their pumpkins. Or change the game up by eliminating the time limit.

Make a bingo card with different Halloween pictures. Then, cut out and color pumpkin-shaped pieces of paper. Or get white bingo chips and put Halloween stickers on them. Put the same Halloween pictures into a bowl and have a caller call out the pictures. First bingo wins! Want to make the project a little easier? Get regular bingo cards and use stickers to cover the card’s existing numbers. Then your caller would call out “G — Black Cat.” If someone had a sticker of a black cat under the letter G on their card, they would cover that square.

Set out newspaper or hay, old clothing, pillowcases for heads and markers to draw a face. Teams then build a scarecrow from scratch in 15 minutes or less. The best scarecrow wins!

Split into teams of two. One person gets a plastic pumpkin and the other gets a handful of candy corn. Then, the team member tosses a piece of candy corn into the pumpkin. With every successful throw, take one step farther away. If someone misses the pumpkin, their team is eliminated. The last team left wins.
