Holiday halloween contests. Halloween pageants for school, home and club parties. Options for interesting Halloween contests for high school students, teenagers and students. "Pumpkin Blast" Halloween Game

The Halloween holiday in our country is, most often, just a costume party in a hall decorated in the appropriate style, where guests don’t really think about the true traditions of celebrating this day and, oh, they are happy to pretend to be various “evil spirits”. Therefore, it is more correct to speak not about the scenario of this holiday, but about a party for young people in the style of Halloween called "Nightmare Night".

We offer a variant of the game program of the evening, which can be arranged at the very beginning of the holiday before dancing and a buffet table. The organization of such a program can be entrusted to professionals who will include several beautiful themed concert numbers in it or cook it on their own. (dance and musical number may well be prepared by their own talented youth) Musical arrangement of the game program is attached(thanks to the authors and performers)

On a signal, the first person needs to run up to the table, drink any juice and take a glass with them. Let the other participants do the same in turn. Which team can do it faster is the winner. They signal the end by shouting the word "Halloween" and receive a prize from the losers. The losers drink up, look at the name written on their glass, and treat the winners.

Guess who you are

To make the holiday atmospheric, many of your guests will probably come in costume. You, as the owner or hostess of the holiday, should also take care of the frightening appearance. If you don't want to buy a costume, you can always make your own. As ideas, they usually offer mummy costumes, a vampire, or just apply a frightening make-up. In any case, everyone will portray someone, and this can be beaten in the next competition.

For the competition, it is necessary to prepare cards with the names of objects that are thematically suitable for Halloween. For example, you can write "werewolf" or "pumpkin" and similar things on them. Each stick this card on the forehead. Thus, a person does not know who he is, but sees other people's cards. The first of the participants asks about himself questions that can be answered "yes" or "no". For example, "Am I alive or dead?" or “Do I have big nails?”. Based on the answers to the questions, you need to guess what is written on the piece of paper. Everyone who guessed right - a candy, a glass of wine or any other reward.

The answers should always be a noun: a witch, a cucumber, a chair, and so on. For convenience, the prince of darkness asks in turn. Silently, he chooses the main criterion for welcome guests at the Sabbath: for example, it will be something with a vowel. Those who guess this criterion will get to the Sabbath. The game lasts until those who did not get to the Sabbath give up and agree to a penalty dance.

2. "A long tail". A long thread is tied to the belt of each participant so that its end hangs down at the level of the knees. A pencil is tied to the end of this thread. The task of each player is to lower his “tail” into a bottle standing behind on the floor without the help of hands. The winner is the one who manages to complete the task first.
3. "Pioneer Pilots". For this game, pioneer caps are made from paper according to the number of participants. One of the players - the "snitch" - is blindfolded, or they take him out of the room. A raw egg is inserted into the stand and hidden under any of the caps. After that, the bandage is removed from the eyes of the “snitch” and they are offered to hit one of the participants on the head. If there is nothing under the cap, this player takes the place of the “informer”, and the game continues.
4. "Mummy". All participants are divided into pairs, each of which receives a roll of toilet paper. One of the players in a pair must make a mummy out of his comrade by tightly wrapping him with toilet paper. Those guys who managed to cope faster than others win.
5. "Cross the swamp." Each participant of this competition receives 2 sheets of A4 paper. His task is to reach a certain place, shifting sheets of paper, but without stepping on the floor. If a player stumbles, he is drawn into the swamp and is eliminated from the competition. The one who completes the task first wins.

8. "Beware, monster!" This competition is more suitable for young children, but older children are happy to take part in it. The leader turns on fervent music, and all the children begin to dance. At a certain point in time, he says: “Beware, monster!” After which everyone should freeze and not move. If one of the guys moves, he is out of the game. This continues until a winner is chosen.
9. "Well, that's disgusting!" Take an empty shoe box and make a hole in it, similar in size to a child's hand. Place cold spaghetti, jelly, olives and other foods inside. The task of each child is to put their hand into the hole and determine by touch what is inside.

In turn, the following competitions are suitable for preschool children:

The task of the players is to guess who is in front of them.

The winner is the one who managed to cope faster than others.
3. "Voice in the Dark" One of the participants is taken out of the room, and the light in it, in turn, is turned off. After that, the driver comes back, and other players start to scare him in various ways. At a certain moment, one of the guys comes up to the driver and quietly whispers “Halloween!” in his ear. The player's task is to determine who exactly whispered in his ear. If the driver fails, the game continues. If he was able to correctly guess the participant, the guys change places.

Apartment decoration

Big room ghosts
Necessary:
.3 balloons
.white fabric (gauze) for the apparel of ghosts
.line
.black marker
.white threads
Inflate the balloon, it will serve to simulate the head. Throw chintz on the ball so that the imaginary head is in the center of the canvas. Use a marker to draw the face of a ghost on the ball-head. With the help of fishing line, fasten the ghost to the ceiling by the ends of the robe. Ghosts can be made not only white, but also black. To do this, pre-paint the chintz, and draw facial features with white paints.

Mini ghosts for the room
Necessary:
.candy chupa chups
.chintz (gauze, paper towels, white napkins)
.black marker
.white threads
.base where ghosts will be attached (pumpkin, long loaf, loaf of bread)
The table decorations will also support the idea of ​​ghosts in the room. Little, cute ghosts will also live there. Chupa-Chups candies will help to make them. Throw chintz or gauze over the candy so that the candy head is located in the center of the garment. Tie a thread around the neck of the ghost, straighten the shroud, draw a face for the ghost, stick the baby into the prepared base and thus form several ghosts with different facial expressions. At the end of the holiday, each invitee will receive several mini-ghosts.

severed head
Necessary:
.gypsum bandages
.big plastic bag
.deep dish with water
.scissors
.knife
.marker
.acrylic paints
.palette
.tassel
.if necessary, a printout of a photo or drawing of a severed head
.large round dish
.candy to fill the head
The head of my husband served as a model for the severed head. We decided to do all the preparations in the bathroom to minimize the dirt that will inevitably arise. I pre-cut the plaster bandage into strips about 10-12 cm long. They put a bag on my husband's head and cut holes in it at the nostrils. The package was smoothed along the contour of the face, expelling air and achieving the effect of the closest possible fit to the skin, the package was tightly tied around the neck. Make sure your model can breathe comfortably and start shaping the head. Dip a strip of plaster bandage into the water, wring it out, straighten it and attach it to the head, carefully smoothing it. The gypsum hardens quite quickly, and the models under the package are not very comfortable, so you have to work quickly and smoothly. We did everything together with my daughter. The procedure for applying the plaster took no more than 10 minutes, but I had to carefully remove it from the head without damaging the form. With a marker, I drew a circle on the top of the head (approximately where the Indians scalped) and drew a vertical line from it along the center of the neck. These are the marks that need to be cut. I couldn’t slip the scissors, so, taking a small but sharp knife, I began to carefully make cuts, holding the knife with a sharp (sharpened edge) towards me. This is a necessary precaution, since the incisions have to be made with a very limited scope of the knife, it is necessary to saw plaster, as it were, and I was afraid of injuring my husband or cutting off part of his hair. By the way, the package is cut along with the plaster. Having made all the incisions, my daughter and I released the father and immediately put a cast on the vertical incision near the neck, completely disguising it. The incision around the circumference was not masked, since, according to the idea, the upper part of the head should lean back so that children can get sweets out of there.
After the plaster was completely dry (after about a day), my daughter and I painted a face on our head. However, it should be noted that before applying facial features, the inner and upper surfaces of the head should be primed so that the plaster does not crumble.

Branches with Halloween symbols
Necessary:
.vase with branches
.trolls
.pumpkins from yarn
.paper figurines of halloween characters
.the bats
Put mossy branches collected in the forest in a vase, if possible, tape a wire with mini-light bulbs (or a garland) to the branches with tape, then the branches will glow beautifully. Hang trolls, pumpkins from yarn, paper figurines of Halloween characters and bats on branches by strings or fishing line.

maple wreaths
Necessary:
.Maple leaves
.wax or paraffin candles
.thick wire
.threads
.scissors
.glue gun
.glue gun sticks
.pot of water
.aluminum bowl
.baking paper
Prepare small maple leaves of various shades. In order for the leaves not to wither and to please us and our children for a long time, we will subject them to wax or paraffin lamination. To do this, boil more water in a saucepan. Once the water boils, reduce the heat and place an aluminum bowl over the pot. In a bowl, put wax or paraffin candles cut into small pieces. While the wax is being kindled in the steam bath we created, cover the work surface with baking paper. It is necessary so that the laminated leaves do not stick to the table and do not stain it. Alternately dip the leaves into the melted wax, let the excess wax drain and lay the finished leaves on baking paper. Prepare the number of leaves you need.
Measure the size of the child's head and form a hoop from a thick wire (preferably with a braid to make the head comfortable). With the help of a thread, fasten the leaves on the hoop with an overlap (like fish scales). Eliminate all blots (places where leaves move away from each other, or where threads are visible) using a glue gun.

Treats

Fruit salad "Jack - lamp"
Necessary:
.4 large oranges (according to the number of guests)
.2 kiwi
.2 bananas
.a few seedless grapes
.whipped cream or yogurt
. gummy worms or snakes
Peel the insides of the oranges and cut out faces with a sharp knife. Finely chop bananas, kiwis, oranges, and grapes. Mix all the ingredients in a large dish, top with whipped cream or yogurt and fill the hollow oranges with the salad. Insert gummy worms or snakes into the holes.

Cake "Halloween"
Necessary:
.wafer cakes
. kiwi
.bananas
.cream for vanilla cake
.cream for chocolate cake
. milk
.boiled condensed milk
.nuts (or banana chips)
.sugar pencils
Whip vanilla and chocolate cake cream with milk in different containers. Lubricate the first cake with chocolate cream, put bananas on top, cut into thin rings. Cover with a second cake and coat it with vanilla cream, on top of which put a dense layer of kiwi rings. Alternate cakes in the selected sequence. The top layer should be chocolate. Draw Halloween symbols on the cake with sugar pencils. Coat the sides of the cake with boiled condensed milk and paste over with banana chips or nuts.
The cake is very easy to prepare and does not take much time. My daughter made it all by herself.

Contests

Pinata for Halloween
Do you know what a pinata or pinata is? This is such a surprise for the holidays. Serves as decoration. Hangs from the ceiling or from a tree branch. At the end of the holiday, the hero of the occasion with his eyes closed must find this very PINAT and smash it with a special festive stick. Pinata crumbles to the delight of guests with a rain of confetti, souvenirs and sweets.
There is a version that it began in Italy, and had the name "fragile pot" - pignatta. Pignatta was filled with jewelry, candy or other trinkets, hung from ropes and swung while a blindfolded player attacked it with a stick. Then, just like today, when the pignatta was broken, guests would pick up fallen souvenirs and sweets.
Some claim that PINATA is a Chinese invention, used during New Year's celebrations. Figures of cows, buffaloes and other animals made of paper with many ribbons of various colors and sizes were used during the New Year. After breaking the figures with multi-colored sticks, the remains were burned, and people collected the ashes for good luck in the new year.
PINATA is a beautiful holiday decoration for both children and adults. Today's pinatas are completely different shapes and sizes. According to the Spanish tradition, pinatas are filled with confetti, fruits and candies, and can also be filled with toys, souvenirs, and jewelry.
According to the method of breaking Piñatas can be divided into two types:
Traditional Piñatas are Piñatas that are smashed with a stick or bat. These Piñatas are best used for playing outdoors, in nature or in large rooms.
Pinatas with ribbons, equipped with special ribbons or ropes. If you pull on a certain rope, Piñata "opens" and crumbles with many candies. All other ropes do not open anything and bring intrigue and additional interest to the game. This Piñata is ideal for playing in small spaces. Note that even Piñatas with ribbons can also be broken with a bat!

Necessary:
.inflated balloons (according to the number of guests)
.gypsum bandages (2 for each participant). Bandages should be pre-cut into strips about 10 long and about 4 centimeters wide
.deep plates or dishes (for fixing the balls)
.2 basins with warm water (one for two children)
.printouts of zombies, mummies, skulls
.paints
.brushes
.spill-proof
.candy for piñata
.chocolate medals
.mini prizes

The Halloween pinata competition is divided into several stages, so you should think about what the children will do in the pauses necessary for the plaster to dry.

Place the inflated ball in a deep plate and fix it so that the ball is motionless during further work. Dip a strip of plaster bandage in a basin of water, wring it out and straighten the bandage, gently apply it to the surface of the ball. In the same way, glue the entire ball with the exception of a small area needed in order to put sweets and prizes. Let the bandage dry (about 30 min.)

While the plaster dries, I propose to hold a small competition with a light snack.
Pear Witch Contest

II stage
After the plaster frame has dried, the guys need to decide which character they want to get. Depending on this, choose the color of the paint and cover the entire surface of the frame with it (white for the mummy, zombie and skull, orange for the pumpkin). After the background has dried, draw eye sockets, mouth and nose on the face of the character with black paint (for greater clarity and credibility of the image of the features of the characters, I printed drawings of mythical heroes for girls in advance).

pear witch

Necessary:
.4 oatmeal cookies
.4 green pear halves
.4 pairs of raisins (for the eyes)
.4 chocolate M&M blues (for the wart)
.4 small knives (participants bring their own)
.Red Apple
.4 wafer cone cups
.carrot, grated (for hair)
.boiled condensed milk (for gluing parts)
.4 disposable plates
Cut the pears in advance along the fruit and remove the core. Invite the children to put the pear on a plate with the cut down and carefully, at a slightly angle, cut off a piece of pear along the supposed forehead of the witch. This piece will be her nose. In the center of the “face”, make a deepening-cut with a knife and insert the “nose” there.
Poke small holes for the eyes and the warts with a knife and stick the raisins and M&Ms in them.
Cut out a mouth from a red apple and fix it on a pear, making a recess for it with a knife.
Glue the waffle cone onto the oatmeal cookies using boiled condensed milk. If empty waffle cones are not available, you can buy ice cream according to the number of participants, put it out of the straws first, and when the witch pear is completely finished, offer the guys ice cream as an addition to dessert. Attach a hat - oatmeal cookies to a pear for condensed milk. Attach hair - carrots to your head and enjoy the treat! Serve a banana smoothie here.
The competition is approximately 15 minutes long.

The bats

Necessary:
.4 sets of printouts of bats and the moon (cut out). Go to the Canon papercraft website. There is a lot of material for various holidays. The mobile bats kit is taken from there.
.scissors (bring each guest with you)
.line (yarn, twine or thread)
.4 old hangers (or hanger-shaped wire rods)
.syringes with glue "Titan"
.synthetic winterizer
.paints (to each invited person to bring with him). If the guys have paints glowing in the dark, they can separately work out the eyes of bats.
.brushes (bring each invitee with you)
.spill-proof jars (bring your own for each invitee)

Before assembling the movable structure, the children will have to color both halves of the month on their own. To do this, you can use different colors (yellow, sinister purple, reddish, orange). You can also draw the face of the moon (depending on desire and imagination).
While the paints are drying, it is necessary to glue the front and back parts of the bats by inserting a thread or fishing line between them. After the paint has dried, we also glue both halves of the moon (no thread is needed).
It's time to assemble the structure. Invite the children to lay out a wire structure on the floor and attach the ends of the threads from bats to it (the children themselves choose the length of the thread and the place of its attachment to the wire hanger, checking whether the mice are well balanced).
Having broken the synthetic winterizer into small fragments, you can start gluing it to the hanger, forming a cloud on which the crescent lurks (the guys choose the shape and volume of the cloud themselves).

Catching apples

Necessary:
.basin with water
.12 apples
.2 handkerchiefs
.2 large towels
Participants of the competition are divided into teams (2 people each). Pre-washed apples are lowered into the water (by the number of apples there must be more than the participants, so that the competitors always have a choice). The presenter ties the hands of the two contestants behind with a scarf, ties a wide bath towel around their waist, I recommend that the girls tidy their hair to save their wonderful hairstyles. The guys are invited to get any apple from a basin of water with their teeth. The one from the pair who grabs the apple with his teeth wipes himself, puts himself in order and gives way to the next participant, and his partner remains at the pelvis until he copes with the task. (Unscrew the stalks from the apples in advance, otherwise the especially smart ones will grab them with their teeth). Be prepared for the fact that the most daring will not be afraid to dive headlong into the basin and press the apple to the bottom to prevent it from slipping out when captured. This is exactly what my daughter did, and then she advised her friends to repeat this maneuver. Everyone tried! Definitely the most fun and funny contest of the evening! Both participants and spectators got real pleasure and laughed a lot. The team wins, both members of which coped with the task faster. If necessary, the host should always have dry towels on hand.
The competition is approximately 20 minutes long.

Making Halloween Scrapbooking Paper Treat Bags
Necessary:
.4 handbag sample printouts (Canon papercraft website)
.glue (invited bring with them)
.ribbons, pieces of fabric, decorative cords, buttons, beads…
.scissors
.previously taken photos of the invitees (approximately 3 for each participant)
The children are offered pre-cut bag templates (the most complex elements are already glued together). Following the instructions of the facilitator, the participants completely complete their handbags. Everyone is invited to show their imagination and decorate them in the style of "Halloween Scrapbooking" using their Halloween-themed photos and available decorative elements of various properties (paper, fabric, beads, beads, twigs, yarn). Guys receive handbags as a gift and fill them with sweets from a severed head.
The competition is approximately 25 minutes long.

treasure hunt

Arranging in advance with the parents of the children about the holiday, I suggested that they bring me a gift that they would like to give to their child. The fact is that gifts are an individual matter, and it is always nice when children get exactly what they dream of. After receiving gifts for each invitee, I began planning a treasure hunt contest. I wanted the treasure-hunting activities to be joint, but at the same time with elements of individual work, because everyone will look for their own personal treasure!
On the eve of the holiday, I printed 4 different photos (according to the number of participants). Each photo shows a close-up of the girl's face. On the back of the photo is a text explaining the exact location of the treasure. For example: Look for your treasure behind the blinds. The text is printed in a mirror image. My husband and I cut each photo into 12-14 parts (like puzzles), counted the total number of pieces (in our case there were 46). For myself, I wrote down where whose treasure will lie, so as not to confuse anything in the confusion.
After all the main competitions were held and it was time to start looking for the treasure, I asked the girls to play for 5 minutes in my daughter's room and not leave it. During this time, my husband and I hid 42 pieces (puzzles) in the hall, hallway and corridor. 4 puzzles we did not hide. Having called the guests into the hall, I announced to them that everyone will have to find their own treasure, but for this the children will need ingenuity, analysis, ingenuity, patience and mutual assistance. (The girls' eyes sparkled so much that I realized that the treasures have no chance of remaining unfound!) I gave each girl one puzzle and said that they had to find 42 more such pieces (outlined the circle of searches). And she warned that without finding all the pieces, they would not be able to guess the message. What started here! They searched everywhere and everywhere, there were offers to look even in the ground in flower pots!
Having found all the puzzles and counted them several times, the children sat on the floor in the living room and looked at me inquiringly, waiting for further instructions. I said that if they wanted to find the treasure, they would have to figure out the rest for themselves. The brainstorming has begun! The girls immediately realized that they needed to put the puzzle together and started working as a team, but a little later it turned out that the photos were different. They figured that each should put together their own photo. I am proud to say that it was not so easy for them to do this! After the photos were collected, the question arose of how to read the text on the back. Here I quietly put tape and scissors on the edge of the sofa. Active bonding has begun. (While the children were sitting in one place and gluing together, my husband and I put the gifts in the places indicated in the messages. We didn’t do this on purpose in advance so that the children would not find the treasure ahead of time).

The photos are glued together, the text is read, but its meaning is not clear, because on the back is gibberish. The young treasure hunters quickly guessed that the letters were printed in mirror image and ran to read the text in front of the mirror. The secret is out! At this point, my husband and I had to seriously take care of our own safety, because. the girls rushed for the prizes so much that we almost got knocked down!
Prizes have been found, everyone is happy! The competition was a success!!!
