The facilitator, in a creepy tone, tells a chilling story about where and how he found the bag (for example, in a cemetery, in a haunted house, or is it a gift from a ghost, etc.) The first player is invited to take something in the bag (look inside and you can't touch the bag!). It is prohibited to remove the item. After the player has grabbed any thing, he must invent as scary a story as possible about it. For example, the player groped for a dried plum and assumes that it is someone's torn out shrunken eye. And invents a story about him. At the end of the story, the narrator finally pulls the thing out of the pouch, and usually marvels at how far his fantasy can take him. After that, the bag is passed to the next player, who tells his story about another item.

Your lamp, which you put on the table, will serve as a magic crystal ball. Now let's move on to the game itself. Ask guests to ask you a question. If the question involves yes, no, and maybe answers, then you take a piece of paper from one pile and hold it up to the lamp. After a while, the invisible font appears and your guests are delighted!

The team wins, the first to finish the competition.

Halloween pranks

Prank game "Mummy"

The host invites everyone to visit the mummy's crypt in turn. The mummy's crypt is arranged in the next room. The lights in the room are turned off and a few candles are lit. A person lies down on the sofa and closes the top with a sheet. An open trough with yogurt or soft cottage cheese is placed on the face of the mummy.
The driver, having entered the “crypt” with the “victim”, begins to tell in a sepulchral voice: “This is the crypt of the mummy. This is the coffin of the mummy (pointing to the sofa). This is the leg of the mummy (at this moment the driver takes the palm of the “victim” and applies it to the leg of the person lying under the sheet). This is the hand of the mummy (the palm of the victim is applied to the hand). This is the neck of the mummy (the palm is applied to the neck). And this is the eye of the mummy (the leader, holding the victim by the finger, pokes it in a place on the sheet, covering the trough with yogurt ).
For the success of this draw, several rehearsals are necessary. Try not to play overly impressionable people.

"Pharaoh" Halloween prank

Choose a girl and blindfold her. We bring her to the table on which someone lies. Her hands are taken and applied to different parts of the lying body. At the same time, each time it is said: “here is the leg of the pharaoh, here is the belly of the pharaoh, here ...”, and at the end the hands fall into some kind of salad and it is said “and here are the brains of the pharaoh”. The result is unpredictable.

"Horror Room" Halloween Prank

The organizer of the holiday invites the bravest volunteer to visit the horror room. The volunteer comes with the leader into the dark bathroom. He receives the task of shouting to extinguish the burning candle there. After that, the volunteer is forbidden to tell the rest of the guests what happened in the horror room. As a result, the next contestant who heard the terrible screams goes into the horror room with some apprehension. And after several participants who have been in the room let out heart-rending "screams of horror", the rest of those present are afraid to go there.

"Old Dead Joe's Cave" Halloween Prank Game

It's adorably "scary" fun for older kids. To organize such a game, you will have to work hard in advance to equip a special darkened room, placing various “body parts” of “Old Dead Joe” on stands or just chairs: “eyes”, “tongue”, and so on. They should be placed in vessels or containers of suitable volume, mostly filled with warm water. Each child who is brave enough to do so is blindfolded and allowed to enter the "cave" - ​​no more than one child at a time. You, as a good host, must lead the child from one terrible object to another, allowing, each time, to put your hands into the vessel and try to determine by touch what it contains. All other children at this time should sit still and, with bated breath, listen to the squeals and cries of the daredevil, who is being led through the “cave”.

Any room with tightly closed curtains or even a corridor (if the holiday takes place after sunset) can serve as a cave - just turn off the light, and terrible impressions are guaranteed to the participants :)

Here are the parts of the body of "Old Dead Joe" that you need to make and place in the "cave" in advance:
- "Bones of Old Dead Joe" - find on the street branches of trees of a suitable size and free them from knots and leaves;;
- "Old Dead Joe's Guts" - a large bowl filled with wet, slimy vermicelli;
- "Heart of Old Dead Joe" - a very large peeled tomato ;;
- "Eyes of Old Dead Joe" - a small container filled with water, in which two large grapes float;
- "Teeth of Old Dead Joe" - a metal pot or cauldron filled with small stones or hard candies;
- "Old Dead Joe's Hair" - a human hair wig stretched over a ball;
- "Old Dead Joe's Ears" - two halves of an artichoke (with sharp spines trimmed);
- "Old Dead Joe's Nose" - a raw potato cut into the shape of a nose;
- "Fingers of the Old Dead Joe" - cold sausages;
- finally, the "Blood of Old Dead Joe" - a pot or jug ​​filled with warm tomato juice.
You will need to have a towel handy to dry your child's hands after he has dipped them into the "blood".

When you leave the “cave” with a child, you can do a great job of intimidating children who have not yet visited the cave by loudly declaring: “Run and wash the blood off your hands: otherwise the whole parquet will be covered in blood!”. The squeal and delight of the participants of the holiday are guaranteed.

You'll also need a flashlight to help you navigate your way through the dark room. Of course, the child will be blindfolded, but you will need some light to lead him by the hand from vessel to vessel.
Be sure to videotape the entire party (including a visit to "Old Dead Joe's Cave"); it can be successfully demonstrated to guests closer to the end of the holiday.

We hope that the presented games and Halloween pranks will delight you, your loved ones and guests! Happy Halloween!

Dressing up. The ancient Celts, who gave us a holiday (for the ancient Celts it was the Samhain fire festival), believed that fairies, spirits, witches and other evil spirits, as well as the souls of the dead, roam the earth on this night. On this night, it was customary to go to the houses of neighbors, dressed up and portraying the inhabitants of the world of the dead, and ask.

pumpkin carving. Depicting spirits or witches, the Celts often carved their faces from turnips or other vegetables and carried them with them, frightening neighbors and passers-by. Today it is customary to use pumpkins for this, from which the entire inside is first removed, and then eyes, nose and mouth are cut out of the remaining walls. A candle is often placed inside the gourd. There are others for the holiday party.

Treats or a joke (Trick or treat). The tradition of going from house to house, dressed in evil spirits, and asking the owners came to us from the Celts. They believed that on the night of the Samhain holiday, various creatures and souls of the dead come to earth, which need to be appeased, offering them all kinds of offerings. In connection with this belief, the Celts themselves began to dress up as evil spirits and on the night of Samhain go from house to house, asking for food. Those owners who refused to "feed" the spirits were to be punished with some kind of joke or prank.

Fruit and vegetable games. Another traditional entertainment for All Saints' Eve is all kinds of games with fruits and vegetables. This tradition also refers us to the Celtic festival of Samhain, which was a harvest festival. Now for games, apples are most often used, although variations are possible.

Perhaps the most common Halloween game is catching apples from a bowl of water. Water is poured into a large bowl and several apples are thrown into it. The participant must catch an apple from the bowl by grabbing it with his teeth.

Another "apple" variation is to hang an apple on a rope at about the level of the participant's face, who must eat the fruit without touching it with their hands.

Divination. Divination is an integral part of the Halloween celebration. Since on this night the spirits are among people, it is believed that they can be asked about their future.

The most common version of divination on All Saints Night also uses an apple. To do this, you need to cut off the entire skin from the apple in the form of one long strip, and then throw it over your left shoulder. It is believed that the skin will fall to the floor in the form of the first letter of the name of the future spouse. An unmarried girl on this night has the opportunity to see her future husband. To do this, she must remain alone in a dark room and stare intently into the mirror. After some time, the face of her betrothed should appear in the mirror.

Halloween can be a great occasion to organize a holiday for the kids at home. Invite little guests, ask them to come in carnival costumes, turn the house into a haven for witches or spirits, prepare gifts for children.

Children's animators will help parents to make a memorable day for a child truly fun, bright and interesting, help to make your children laugh and strengthen friendly ties.

For a good start, have each of the newly arrived guests introduce their costume and tell a short story about their hero.

Mummy

For this game you will need toilet paper rolls (it is best to use plain gray paper). Participants are divided into pairs, and each of them is given a roll of paper. One of the players on each team is the "mummy". The task of the second player - the "priest" - is to make a real "mummy" out of a partner in the game as quickly as possible. Those who complete the task the fastest win.

Pass through the swamp

For this game you will need two A4 sheets. The task of the participants is to go through the room - the "swamp" - stepping only on sheets of paper. To this end, after the first step, you need to bend down, take the sheet behind you, shift it forward and take the next step. And so to the designated point. The participant who put his foot on the floor is pulled into the swamp, and he is out of the game. Those who nevertheless coped with this difficult task win.

I'm scarier

For this game, you will need felt-tip pens and inflated balloons in the amount equal to the number of participants in the game (but it is also important to have several spare ones). The task of the players is to draw the face of the monster on the ball. The author of the scariest balloon wins this competition.

bite him

For the game you will need two apples and threads. Apples are tied with threads at the height of the participants' heads. After that, two players, holding their hands behind their backs, must each bite their own apple. The one who ate the most apple wins.

Treasure Island

Before the arrival of small guests, hide a lot of sweets throughout the room. No matter what mood the kids are in, when you tell them about the hidden treasures, they will immediately rush to search. The one who finds the most sweets wins.

Poor little black kitten

The game is designed for at least 5 people. Everyone sits in a circle, and one player goes to the middle, puts on a black glove and turns into a "poor black kitten." The game begins... The kitten gets used to its role: it rubs against other players, walks on all fours, meows... And in the end chooses its Owner. She kneels in front of him and repeats three times: “Meow, meow, meow ...” (it can be compassionate or, conversely, funny). And the Owner replies: "Poor little black kitten" and strokes his head. BUT he must say all this in all seriousness and with a "stone face". If the Owner laughs, he himself turns into a Kitten and enters the circle.

beware the monster

For this game, prepare some fun musical compositions. Children dance to the perky music as they want, but as soon as the music stops - everyone should freeze and not move, i.e. become invisible when a scary monster approaches.

Oh, and crap!

Prepare a shoe box in advance with holes cut into the side the size of a child's palm. Then, out of sight of the children, put in the box a plate or bowl of: cold spaghetti, jelly, marinated olives, etc. Children take turns putting their hand into the box and guessing what is inside. Oh, and disgusting ... Cheerful laughter is guaranteed with this game.

Spirit game

We divide the children into two groups. One group stays in the room, the other goes out into the corridor. In the corridor, we put white sheets on the children in turn so that clothes are not visible. The child enters the room and says in a terrible voice "Uuuuuu!". The task of the players is to guess who is now in the role of a ghost.

To make the holiday a success, you should think not only about games, but also about treats with scary (but not disgusting) names. For this holiday, the decoration of the room is also very important. On the walls you can hang posters with inscriptions: “Dear guests, please don’t bite!”, “I will exchange the lock for a three-room apartment with amenities. Signature: Ghost, etc. You can also decorate the room with orange balloons and ghost garlands.

Halloween is an amazing holiday that will not leave anyone indifferent. The older generation regards the eve of All Saints' Day with condemnation, the younger generation enthusiastically welcomes the many-sided celebration. Unlike the cloyingly sweet Valentine's Day, Halloween has a lot more flavors to it. Of course, sweets are also present in it. But on this day they are not presented, but extorted, threatening with all sorts of dirty tricks and harmfulness. Any prank that can scare is great for a holiday of rampant evil spirits. And who doesn't want to tickle their nerves? Sabbat parties have become popular in universities, schools, clubs, and even in the family circle.

Thirdly, you can prepare for the holiday in advance by sending out invitations to your child's friends, making the most unusual decorations, thinking through all the contests and games for Halloween at home in detail.

Halloween game "Themed Crocodile"

The game "Crocodile" is optimally suited for a home holiday. Guests are divided into 2 groups. The representative of the enemy team must intelligibly show his participants the monster or a specific mystical character that the opponents have conceived: goblin, brownie, kikimora, etc. The main thing is not to speak at the same time and not to make suggestive sounds.

Halloween Contest "Pop the Pumpkin"

This competition is best planned in advance. You will need 30 orange balloons, a kilo of candy, a black marker and a hairpin. Before inflating the balloons, you need to put 2-3 candies into them. Then, on the finished balls, you need to draw stripes with a black marker (like a pumpkin) and hang the "vegetables" from the ceiling or wall. During the competition, the organizer asks participants questions about fairy-tale characters and cartoon episodes. The players who gave the correct answer burst one "pumpkin" at a time and take away the sweet prize that fell from the inside.

Halloween contests at school for children

• competition for the best costume of evil spirits made from natural materials, recycled materials, etc.;

Then the spoon is passed to the second participant, etc. If the "eye" falls out of the spoon, the player will have to return to their original position and start over. The team whose participants finish the difficult relay race first will win.

Funny Halloween contests at school for teenagers (high school students)

It used to be that on Halloween (October 31), disturbed spirits, goblins and demons could easily come to the material human world. This is probably why people in Western countries dress up for the holiday in scary costumes and go from house to house in search of food to appease all evil spirits. In our area, such traditions are not supported. Instead of begging in other people's houses, people arrange fun activities for children, teenagers and adults with an abundance of active games and entertaining jokes. Among all the existing entertainment, fun Halloween contests for teenagers are especially popular.

Competition for high school students "Mummy"

For the contest you will need 4-6 rolls of toilet paper. Participants are divided into pairs. Each duet consists of a mummy and an Egyptian. As soon as the hosts turn on the music, the Egyptians start wrapping their mummies in toilet paper. The one who completes the task first will win.

Competition for teenagers "Try to show!"

• scream like a victim from the movie "Scream",
• pretend to be a hungry zombie
• give a vampire bite to a neighbor in the game.

The winner is determined by the applause of the audience for a perfectly executed phantom!

Competition for high school students "Dead Man's Eyes"

To participate in the competition, you need 2 teams of 6 people, as well as 2 empty pumpkins and 50 "eyes" from ping-pong balls. One participant from each team will be the catcher with an empty pumpkin in his hands. The rest are throwers. They will have to collect "eyes" from a common basket and throw them into the gourd of their catcher from a distance of 5 meters. The team with the most "dead man's eyes" in their pumpkin will win.

Funny Halloween contests for students in the club

Students are an unusual people, always thirsty for bread and circuses. Funny Halloween contests for students at the club can be associated with food and drink. For example, competitions in the quick drinking of Bloody Mary or the speed eating of crackers in the form of witch fingers. Or you can completely move away from student "manners" and choose contests for the entertainment program from the genre of joke games and practical jokes. Young people will be happy to be the center of attention and laugh at their fiasco with joy!

"Blow the ball" - a competition for students in the club

The host sits two participants at the table opposite each other, and puts a balloon in the middle. The players are blindfolded and offered to blow the ball to the opponent's side. As soon as the participants' eyes are closed, the ball is changed to a plate of flour. Participants boldly blow on the table, unaware of the trick. Both win the competition. Let the symbolic reward be a consolation for the curious appearance, spoiled by flour.

"Merry Path" - Halloween competition for students in the club

For the competition, it is necessary to collect expensive items from all those present: phones, watches, gold bracelets, leather wallets, car keys, etc. The host lays out wealth in front of the audience, forming a kind of path. Then the selected participant is blindfolded, and expensive things are carefully replaced with primitive plastic glasses, napkins, juice boxes, etc. The participant must not be aware of the substitution. He has to walk along the path, assuming that all expensive things are in their places. Spectators are encouraged to accompany the process with theatrical "aahs" and "oahs". So the picture of a frightened pedestrian will look even funnier.

The Best Halloween Contests for an Adult Party

A fun holiday is a good way to get rid of tension, relieve stress and cheer yourself up. And if the occasion to gather all close people in one company is shrouded in mysticism and mysterious mystery, it is doubly pleasant to celebrate it. Today, All Saints' Eve is presented with outlandish carnival movements, and a parade of costumes copied from the plots of popular horror films. The spectacle is bright, but short. For a grandiose Halloween, a magnificent entourage and an unusual menu are not enough. It is very important to prepare a quality entertainment program with the best Halloween contests for an adult party.

"Dancing on a broomstick" - competition for an adult party

Since the holiday is dedicated to all kinds of evil spirits, the dance competition will not do without a Vedic broom. Each participant needs to perform the most incredible choreographic composition to popular tracks, using a broom instead of a pole. The winner will be the hero whose dance will most closely match the theme of the event.

"Death walks between us" - competition for an adult party

To participate in the game, the leader selects 10 people. Each player is given a folded piece of paper, one of which has a cross drawn on it. Participants silently look at their leaves, then go behind the screen. A player with a cross on a piece of paper approaches any of the participants and puts his hands on his shoulders. He lets out a yelp in response and falls to the floor. Then the remaining participants are re-distributed papers and the process continues according to the known scheme. The winner is the only remaining player. He also receives an award in the form of symbolic candies or a themed souvenir.

"Visiting Vampires" - competition for an adult party

The number of players is not limited. Each participant is given a piece of paper on which to write a couple of body parts. For example: heel-shoulder, eyebrow-back or eye-belly. Then all the pieces of paper are mixed in a deep hat and the participants take turns pulling out their pair. The first player stands in the middle of the room in a comfortable position. The second must touch the first with that part of the body that is indicated on its leaf. For example: with your heel to the shoulder of the first participant. Then the third player continues the chain in the same way. He will have to touch his eyebrow to the back of the second. Etc. The task is to build the longest possible chain. At the beginning of the game, the participants can be divided into 2 teams in order to eventually determine whose chain is longer.

Halloween contests for children, teenagers, students and adults are always a fun and active pastime. It is impossible to imagine a full-fledged program for the holiday of all devils and witches without humorous Halloween games for a school, club, home party.

A Halloween party playlist is worth shaping according to your own heartbeats. Everything that gives rise to a chill in the soul, provokes nervous trembling, makes the pupils of the eyes dilate in horror - has the right to life and sound this evening!

The only thing worth really considering is the degree of saturation of musical compositions. They should not sound like a single monotonous terrible canvas, but should shimmer, fascinate with magic, cause solemn delight and trembling at the very edges of nerve endings. Music on Halloween night should be the very first adrenaline-provoking factor!

MUSIC FOR HALLOWEEN

Here are some compositions that shocked me personally (listen, maybe we have a lot in common, even fear is one for the whole huge sea of ​​Dikmi's admirers):

- "Monster Mash"- Bobby "Boris" Pickett (this song will be a real gift for those guests who grew up in the era of early rock and roll, and are still nostalgic for it).

- Thriller- Michael Jackson (the title track from the best-selling album of all time!). The composition is full of blood-chilling laughter and unexpected textural twists, which speak for themselves: “it won’t be boring!”.

- "It's Halloween"- Danny Elfman.

- "Ghostbusters"- Ray Parker Jr. (remember this favorite cartoon from childhood?).

- "The Addams Family"- Vic Mizzy (also a very popular soundtrack for the cartoon and large-scale film adaptation, loved and recognizable by both adults and children).

- "Halloween"— John Carpenter.

- "Ghosts of Halloween"- Lambert, Hendrix and Ross.

- "Frankenstein"- Edgar Winter group.

- "Superstition" Stevie Wonder.

- "Abracadabra"- Steve Miller Band.

- "Toccata and Fugue in D Minor"- Bach (yes, the classics also have the right to be a guest at your feast of fear).

- "Hedwig Theme" Harry Potter soundtracks.

- DJ Jazzy Jeff and Fresh Prince- "A Nightmare on My Street" (this song was so successful at one time that the producers of the film "A Nightmare on Elm Street" sued for copyright infringement). DJ Jazzy Jeff and Will Smith, Fresh Prince are sure to add some good vibes to any Halloween gathering.

- "Time Warp" Rocky Horror Picture Show soundtrack (this song provides dance instructions for all ghosts, magicians and goblins - because it is not only scary, but also fun to dance to).

- "Witch Time"- Donovan (this composition is most often used in cinema in order to give a certain touch of mysticism to all scenes of witchcraft and horror).

- "Pet cemetery" Ramones (the song has been used in multiple adaptations of Stephen King books).

- "Someone's Watching Me"- Rockwell (song from the top three US gold music charts).

Compositions from the musical "The Phantom of the Opera" will also be appropriate at the party as a background (especially for entertainment of the competition program). Do not ignore the classics, gentlemen, because remember that the most brilliant villains, bloodsuckers and maniacs, whose names are now in everyone's memory and in tongues, lived long before our era and probably did not listen to punk and rock!

Well, now it's time to lift the bloody veil over the entertainment that we have come up with especially for your homemade Halloween guests!

GAMES AND FUN FOR HALLOWEEN

If you have taken into account all our recommendations when preparing the decor for the holiday, then you will not need to specially warm up the guests before the show program! Believe me, by the time they reach the festively decorated hall with cobwebs, they will be barely warm from fear and horror! A joke, of course, but in every joke there is only a fraction of a joke! Remember this, especially on All Saints' Eve!

Well, now - a little about games and contests for your so beautifully echoing evil spirits, friends!

Game 1. Own Scarecrow	Props: old clothes, pillowcases, batting, markers, newspapers, ribbons, mops. Number of participants: teams of at least 3 people. The essence of the game: The participants are divided into teams. Each team receives the same set of old clothes and other props. By order of the host: “Start!”, All teams begin to make garden scarecrows from improvised means. The team that finishes before everyone else and makes the most beautiful (terrible, funny - options are allowed) scarecrow wins. The maximum time for the competition is 20 minutes. After a fun glamorous opening contest, give your guests a chance to have a drink and dance to the fiery "monstrous" beats! An exciting game will help you start dancing!
Game 2	Music for the competition:"Monster Mash" Members: absolutely all the guests of the holiday. Rules: All guests stand in a circle or columns (so as not to disturb anyone). Leading in front. His task is to show all sorts of simple and very stupid at the same time dance steps and steps. The task of the participants in the columns is to repeat the movements, adding to them some kind of zest, characteristic of the character whose costume they chose for the evening. When the host stops and the music stops, everyone should freeze in the last dance position, which coincided with the end of the music. The one who laughs or fails to maintain a “frozen” pose is out of the game. With the rest - dancing continues! Believe me, after stupid pirouettes on the "instruction" of the host and friendly laughter, it will be very difficult to keep a neutral "frozen mask"!
Game 3	Preparation for the game (must be done in advance): in 5 bowls add grapes, dried apricots, banana peels, raw liver, cold spaghetti. Then - put each bowl in a cardboard box with a picture. On 1 (where the grapes) - draw the eyes, on 2 (where the dried apricots) - draw the ears, on 3 (where the peel) - outline the tongue, on 4 (where the raw liver) - pass the heart, on 5 (where the spaghetti) - display the open skull with brains. Cut holes in the boxes so that you can freely stick your hand in there. Number of participants: everyone (and, of course, the fearless!). Minimum - 5 players. Rules: The participant must stick his hand into the hole of the box that the host will choose for him, and by touch (if he is not afraid - even by taste or smell) determine what the mad scientist decided to please him today. This game always causes a lot of emotions and adrenaline! Moreover, not only in the participants, but also in the fans. Therefore - after the brain explosion from the "mad scientist", I advise you to offer guests a calm creative workshop on carving "Jack lamps".
	Halloween is not complete without these strange, scary and sometimes very funny lantern faces! Give your guests a master class on carving them on the night of All Saints! All the details of the process can be found in the article Pumpkin for Halloween. And before the holiday, it is important to stock up on carving tools and pumpkins (enough for each guest and with a margin, in case of marriage, which will most likely happen with friends who get acquainted with the "pumpkin art" for the first time). And one more, very important recommendation: do not delay the pumpkin contest in time, otherwise you will lose the dynamics of the evening. It is enough to make simple lamps. The scrupulous skill of "pumpkin cutting" can be mastered on your own, in a quiet, comfortable environment of your own home. And, of course, outside the noisy and driving Halloween party!

Game 5	Props: Rolls of durable toilet paper, bandages. Number of participants: at least 2 teams of 3 people. Rules: One of the three-team is a model (mummy). The task of the teams in 2 minutes (at the start of the timer) is to wrap as many bandages and toilet paper on the model as possible. The team whose mummy will be dressed "luxury" wins and receives symbolic prizes (jelly candies "worms" or "jaws" are perfect)!
Game 6	Another mobile and fun game that will help keep the dynamics of the holiday at the proper level. Props: stuffed ghost. Number of participants: two teams of at least 5 people. Rules: The two commands are separated by a conditional line. On the territory of some - there is a "Spirit" (or ghost), others - perform the function of "ghost hunters". The task of the first is to protect the Spirit from capture and scare the invaders so that they do not even risk stepping over the conditional line. The task of the latter is to take possession of the Spirit by any means and cunning and drag it to their territory. The only nuance that must be taken into account is the amount of alcohol consumed. If you see that your monster guests are already pretty "dirty", it's better to skip this game so that it doesn't just turn into a dump or a real fight with unpleasant consequences.
Game 7	It would seem that there is absolutely nothing complicated in the structure of the human skeleton. And in general, everyone knows, even from school, how the bones should be located ... But if you give each team a bag of scattered bones and give, for example, 5-7 minutes of time to figure it all out, it will be at least not up to school knowledge ! Although, in such conditions, a huge space opens up for ingenuity, resourcefulness and a sense of humor! Props: a bag with a plastic disassembled human skeleton designer. Members: at least 2 teams of 5 people. Rules: Assemble the skeleton, placing all the bones correctly. Time to complete the task - 5-7 minutes. The winner is the one who collects the skeleton as accurately as possible. The Audience Award is the funniest and most original version of the structure of the human body. If the skeleton cannot be found, it can be replaced with plastic parts (cut arbitrarily from disposable plates). And, of course, it is necessary to complicate the task by offering to assemble the skeleton without the help of hands.
Game 8	Props: jelly bowls. Members: all comers. Rules: All relay participants are divided into two teams. The task of each team is to overcome all the obstacles announced by the leader, earning 1 point for each competition. The team that earns the most points in the final scoring wins. Obstacles: All relay participants are divided into two teams. The task of each team is to overcome all the obstacles announced by the leader, earning 1 point for each competition. The team that earns the most points in the final scoring wins. 1. Go from start to finish, staggering like a zombie. 2. Frog jump the distance between the start and finish line. 3. "Fly" as fast as possible on a broomstick. 4. Carry plates of festive jelly on your head from the finish to the start without dropping the “food”, of course!

Game 9

"This is a big and terrible game for adults only!" - with these words you can start the next competition. This will intrigue future participants, make you listen more carefully. And, to be frightened, of course, listening to every beat of your own heart! Props: A big screen with a projector, a Scary Movie movie, or any other movie with a lot of creepy special effects. Members: all comers. Rules: In the background, you need to turn on a horror movie (you can pre-select a short episode full of characteristic special effects). Before the start of the viewing, explain the rules to all participants. For example, if a shot sounds, everyone must repeat the cannonade, if someone screams, they must pour and drink, if they say the word "fear" or "Halloween" - everyone portrays stormy joy. Anyone who does not respond correctly to the action in the film receives a penalty task (as in a game of forfeits).

Game 10

Props: 3 tubs, 3 pumpkin chips. How can you do without the usual cheating game on Halloween! Everything remains according to the rules! And, of course, guessing under which tub the pumpkin was hidden is practically impossible if the master of the Underworld is “leading”! As a rule, I recommend betting games from the "Roulette" type at the end of the entertainment program of the party. This has two advantages: firstly, they are gambling and exciting (and this allows the hosts of the holiday to leave for a while, check whether everything is ready for the solemn feast), and secondly, the exciting game will not drag the guests too much (after all, there is an impressive argument leave her - go to the table).

FOOD AND DRINKING AT THE HALLOWEEN PARTY

Appetizers, main dishes and desserts

However, the festive table of Halloween night is also a fascinating and extraordinary sight! All dishes and snacks are also a kind of endurance test and the absence of fear! After all, not everyone dares to try salad with a very promising name "Cemetery" , or pizza , called "Ghostly" .

Although, after all, if your guests manage to overcome the first spiritual protest against such, well, very disgusting treats, and swallow the first bite, they will be surprised by such an earthly taste known since childhood! Moreover, they will like your amazing pepper ,stuffed with real Italian pasta but, traditionally, with a gloomy name "jack-o-lantern" , an unusual variation tartlets with salad , where, instead of ordinary baskets, carefully removed tangerine peel was used (naturally, decorated as a big-eyed pumpkin!), "big-eyed" bewitched egg and tomato snack , and unique !

If, in addition to snacks, you want to surprise your guests with something more substantial, you can cook an amazing (he should come out with such a characteristic marsh look in the end, you will lick your fingers!). And to emphasize the whole magical essence of the brew, you need to serve it to the table in a classic witch's magic cauldron!

Desserts, too, hurry to surprise! After all, there is no less room for imagination than in the field of main dishes! For example, your guests will surely love a cute cupcake "Brain of the enemy" , or (no less original) muffin "Pumpkin Explosion" .

And the most delicate vanilla pudding with orange icing and crushed hazelnuts, it’s just a real blasphemy to call something malevolently mystical! Therefore, we decided to present this miracle of cooking to you as "Halloween Parfait" .

And, of course, hurry to please your witch friends (and, concurrently, sweet tooth) with abundance themed cakes !

As a rule, abroad, the Halloween holiday involves the consumption of a huge amount of alcohol. Russia, as evidenced by convincing statistics, is also not far behind!

Another amazingly unusual alcoholic cocktail that I would like to see you have on Halloween is called .
