It is time to start planning that Halloween party. Here are some ideas for fun games and food to serve.

Level 1: 5 - 10 Tasks
Level 2: 11-20 Tasks
Level 3: 21 or more.
Duration: 10/01/2024 - 3/31/2025

You can do each task as often as you need to get the level you desire. For the cover tasks please post the cover.



Party Ideas

Murder Mystery night
1. Plan a Murder Mystery
This whodunnit theme can include a mysterious plot line that runs throughout the party, where guests try to figure out who killed the victim. Attendees can also be assigned different characters to play; send invitations that include each attendee’s role and backstory, as well as costume suggestions. The venue can then be decorated according to the time period and circumstances of the crime.
👻 Read a book where someone is murdered or where a character has guests or where some one sends out invitations to an event.

2. Haunted House
Whether you design your own version of a haunted house or organize an outing to an already spooky venue, this classic Halloween party idea will be sure to make your guests scream with delight. Scary music is a must.
👻 Read a book with a house on the cover or where a character listens to music or where a character screams.

3. Pumpkin Carving
A fun party idea is to do pumpkin carving. Have each guest BYOP (Bring Your Own Pumpkin) and make sure you have lots of tools on hand. If it warm enough do it outside on a patio but inside make sure you lay down a tarp of plastic table cloth both on a table and the floor. A couple of books with carving ideas might be useful as well. Plus after the carving save the seeds and toast them up as a snack for all the fun hard work.
👻 Read a book that has a pumpkin on the cover or where something gets carved or where a character eats toast.

4. Mad Scientist Lab
This is a good one for those kids who are just a little too old or cool to trick n treat like those preteens and teens, but still want Halloween fun. Decorate a room or basement to look like Frankenstein's lab. Glow in the dark florescent-green candles set the mood. Add glow-in-the-dark labware and faux-radioactive props to your creepy laboratory. Make a tray of mad scientists’ favorite ingredients and potions and of course don't forget the ghoulish looking food.
👻 Read a book with a teen as a character or where someone works in a lab or where a character burns a candle.

5. Costume
Of course a simple but great idea is to have a costume party and see how imaginative people can get with costumes. Even have a competition for different categories like best costume, most imaginative and so on.
👻 Read a book where a character wears a costume or where a character uses their imagination (Your interpretation) or read a book where the authors initials can be found in COSTUME.

6. Of course the decorations are a must for a party. Make sure you get some witches, pumpkins, bats, spiders, ghosts if you are wanting it not to scary. If you are wanting a little scarier try dripping blood, and sound effects.
Read a book with blood on the cover or with a witch as a character or a ghost/Spirit as a character.

Games to play
7. Bob for apples
This seems a simple game to play and bobbing for apples is so much fun. Plus it is easy to set up. Without using your hands try to grab an apple floating in water. It is harder than you think.
🍏 Read a book with apples on the cover or where a character drinks water or read a book where something is much harder than it looks. (Your interpretation).

8. Face the cookie
Grab a Halloween cookie to be the center of this challenge! Each player will tilt their head back and balance a cookie on their forehead. On the count of three, everyone will race to get their cookie from its current spot to their mouths, without using their hands. The first to eat their cookie is the winner.
🍪 Read a book where a character bakes cookies or that is third in a series or with a head on the cover. (It can be attached to a body or just a head).

9. Neighborhood scavenger hunt
If your neighborhood decked out for Halloween you'll definitely want to try this game. Wander the neighborhood looking at the decorations and add them to your list. Then at party time send them out to find the items and the first one back with all the items wins. Make them take a photo or write down the address of the house rather than steal a decoration.
☠️ Read a book where a character lives in a neighborhood or where a character takes a photo or where the authors initials can be found in SCAVENGER.

10. Witch Hat ring toss
This bewitching game involves tossing as many rings as possible onto well, witch hats! All you'll need to set up the game is a piece of wood or cardboard, black witch hats, and some rings. See how many rings you can get onto a hat.
⚫ Read a book with a hat on the cover or where a character gives someone a ring or where the first letter of the location can be found in WITCH.

11. Skeleton Bone Dig
Digging for skeleton bones is such a spooky way to get in the Halloween spirit! Fill a large storage tub or plastic pool with packaging peanuts, then bury the bones inside. The kids dig for the bones and put the skeleton together before the timer goes off.
⏲️ Read a book where there is a skeleton on the cover or where bones get dug up or where a character put a timer on.

12. Pumpkin & Witch broom race
A pumpkin and broom race is a Halloween party game where players use a broom to push a pumpkin to a finish line and then back to the next player in line. It's similar to an egg and spoon race.
🧹 Read a book with a spoon on the cover or where you can find the word egg in the text( Give a partial sentence and page/loc #) or where the authors initials can be found in BROOM.

13. Wrap the Mummy
To play this game, separate children into two or more groups, and select one child from each group to be the "mummy." The children can then use a toilet paper roll to wrap the mummy. The first group to finish their roll wins.
👀 Read a book where a character is a mother or where a character buys toilet paper or with a character who has one child.

14. Ghost Face Game
Sort of like a pie eating contest but in this case it is a plate of whipped cream. The first child to finish it without using their hands wins. This whipped cream eating contest, everyone will have a screamingly funny finish! Get the camera ready to take cute pictures of your kid's "ghost" faces.
👻 Read a book with an eating contest in it or where a character puts whipped cream on something or where a character takes a picture.

Food
15. Mummy dogs
This is a favorite of kids. Cut crescent roll dough into thin strips and wrap around hot dogs. Bake according to crescent package directions and use ketchup or mustard for eyes. Cut the hot dogs in half to make them bite-sized.
🌭Read a book where a character eats a hot dog or with a crescent moon on the cover or where the authors initials an be found in MUSTARD.

16. Monster jaws
Quarter apples and take a wedge out of the center of each quarter. Dunk them in water with a little lemon juice to prevent browning. Use slivered almonds for teeth you can toast them for color and taste. Eyes are optional. You can stick pretzel rods in and attach candy eyes with peanut butter.
🍎 Read a book with eyes on the cover or where a character eats peanut butter or where a character gets dunked in water (Your interpretation).

17. Dirt n Wurms
Another classic. Use chocolate pudding for your mud and put some crushed Oreos on top for dirt. Hide those gummy worms in there for eeek factor!
🪱Read a book where a character eats either pudding or oreos or read a book with an eeek factor (Your interpretation) or where the first letter of the location can be found in GUMMY.

18. Bones and Blood
Use breadstick dough (store bought or homemade) and cut into strips. Use scissors to snip the ends into 2 pieces and roll them down to make the bone shape. Dip in blood ( marinara sauce) For extra flavor sprinkle with garlic and Parmesan.
🦴 Read a book where a character uses scissors or a character who eats breadsticks or where the authors initials can be found in BONES.

19. Slimy Worms On A Bun
Just slice hot dogs and drop them into boiling water for just a minute or two and they’ll curl a bit. Dunk them in some BBQ sauce and you have slimy worms. Place the worms in a bun and you are set.
🐛 Read a book where a character boils water or eats BBQ or curls up with a book.

20. Cheesy Fingers
Cut string cheese in half to make them kid-sized. Then use the flat side of a knife to make the knuckle marks and attach slivered almonds with a dab of cream cheese for the nails. You can also use a knife to shave off just a bit of the cheese at an angle before attaching the almond.
💅 Read a book with a knife on the cover or where a character eats cheese or where the authors initials can be found in NAILS.

Duration: 10/01/2024 - 3/31/2025

You can do each task as often as you need to get the level you desire. For the cover tasks please post the cover.



Party Ideas

Murder Mystery night
1. Plan a Murder Mystery
This whodunnit theme can include a mysterious plot line that runs throughout the party, where guests try to figure out who killed the victim. Attendees can also be assigned different characters to play; send invitations that include each attendee’s role and backstory, as well as costume suggestions. The venue can then be decorated according to the time period and circumstances of the crime.
👻 Read a book where someone is murdered or where a character has guests or where some one sends out invitations to an event.

2. Haunted House
Whether you design your own version of a haunted house or organize an outing to an already spooky venue, this classic Halloween party idea will be sure to make your guests scream with delight. Scary music is a must.
👻 Read a book with a house on the cover or where a character listens to music or where a character screams.

3. Pumpkin Carving
A fun party idea is to do pumpkin carving. Have each guest BYOP (Bring Your Own Pumpkin) and make sure you have lots of tools on hand. If it warm enough do it outside on a patio but inside make sure you lay down a tarp of plastic table cloth both on a table and the floor. A couple of books with carving ideas might be useful as well. Plus after the carving save the seeds and toast them up as a snack for all the fun hard work.
👻 Read a book that has a pumpkin on the cover or where something gets carved or where a character eats toast.

4. Mad Scientist Lab
This is a good one for those kids who are just a little too old or cool to trick n treat like those preteens and teens, but still want Halloween fun. Decorate a room or basement to look like Frankenstein's lab. Glow in the dark florescent-green candles set the mood. Add glow-in-the-dark labware and faux-radioactive props to your creepy laboratory. Make a tray of mad scientists’ favorite ingredients and potions and of course don't forget the ghoulish looking food.
👻 Read a book with a teen as a character or where someone works in a lab or where a character burns a candle.

5. Costume
Of course a simple but great idea is to have a costume party and see how imaginative people can get with costumes. Even have a competition for different categories like best costume, most imaginative and so on.
👻 Read a book where a character wears a costume or where a character uses their imagination (Your interpretation) or read a book where the authors initials can be found in COSTUME.

6. Of course the decorations are a must for a party. Make sure you get some witches, pumpkins, bats, spiders, ghosts if you are wanting it not to scary. If you are wanting a little scarier try dripping blood, and sound effects.
Read a book with blood on the cover or with a witch as a character or a ghost/Spirit as a character.

Games to play
7. Bob for apples
This seems a simple game to play and bobbing for apples is so much fun. Plus it is easy to set up. Without using your hands try to grab an apple floating in water. It is harder than you think.
🍏 Read a book with apples on the cover or where a character drinks water or read a book where something is much harder than it looks. (Your interpretation).

8. Face the cookie
Grab a Halloween cookie to be the center of this challenge! Each player will tilt their head back and balance a cookie on their forehead. On the count of three, everyone will race to get their cookie from its current spot to their mouths, without using their hands. The first to eat their cookie is the winner.
🍪 Read a book where a character bakes cookies or that is third in a series or with a head on the cover. (It can be attached to a body or just a head).

9. Neighborhood scavenger hunt
If your neighborhood decked out for Halloween you'll definitely want to try this game. Wander the neighborhood looking at the decorations and add them to your list. Then at party time send them out to find the items and the first one back with all the items wins. Make them take a photo or write down the address of the house rather than steal a decoration.
☠️ Read a book where a character lives in a neighborhood or where a character takes a photo or where the authors initials can be found in SCAVENGER.

10. Witch Hat ring toss
This bewitching game involves tossing as many rings as possible onto well, witch hats! All you'll need to set up the game is a piece of wood or cardboard, black witch hats, and some rings. See how many rings you can get onto a hat.
⚫ Read a book with a hat on the cover or where a character gives someone a ring or where the first letter of the location can be found in WITCH.

11. Skeleton Bone Dig
Digging for skeleton bones is such a spooky way to get in the Halloween spirit! Fill a large storage tub or plastic pool with packaging peanuts, then bury the bones inside. The kids dig for the bones and put the skeleton together before the timer goes off.
⏲️ Read a book where there is a skeleton on the cover or where bones get dug up or where a character put a timer on.

12. Pumpkin & Witch broom race
A pumpkin and broom race is a Halloween party game where players use a broom to push a pumpkin to a finish line and then back to the next player in line. It's similar to an egg and spoon race.
🧹 Read a book with a spoon on the cover or where you can find the word egg in the text( Give a partial sentence and page/loc #) or where the authors initials can be found in BROOM.

13. Wrap the Mummy
To play this game, separate children into two or more groups, and select one child from each group to be the "mummy." The children can then use a toilet paper roll to wrap the mummy. The first group to finish their roll wins.
👀 Read a book where a character is a mother or where a character buys toilet paper or with a character who has one child.

14. Ghost Face Game
Sort of like a pie eating contest but in this case it is a plate of whipped cream. The first child to finish it without using their hands wins. This whipped cream eating contest, everyone will have a screamingly funny finish! Get the camera ready to take cute pictures of your kid's "ghost" faces.
👻 Read a book with an eating contest in it or where a character puts whipped cream on something or where a character takes a picture.

Food
15. Mummy dogs
This is a favorite of kids. Cut crescent roll dough into thin strips and wrap around hot dogs. Bake according to crescent package directions and use ketchup or mustard for eyes. Cut the hot dogs in half to make them bite-sized.
🌭Read a book where a character eats a hot dog or with a crescent moon on the cover or where the authors initials an be found in MUSTARD.

16. Monster jaws
Quarter apples and take a wedge out of the center of each quarter. Dunk them in water with a little lemon juice to prevent browning. Use slivered almonds for teeth you can toast them for color and taste. Eyes are optional. You can stick pretzel rods in and attach candy eyes with peanut butter.
🍎 Read a book with eyes on the cover or where a character eats peanut butter or where a character gets dunked in water (Your interpretation).

17. Dirt n Wurms
Another classic. Use chocolate pudding for your mud and put some crushed Oreos on top for dirt. Hide those gummy worms in there for eeek factor!
🪱Read a book where a character eats either pudding or oreos or read a book with an eeek factor (Your interpretation) or where the first letter of the location can be found in GUMMY.

18. Bones and Blood
Use breadstick dough (store bought or homemade) and cut into strips. Use scissors to snip the ends into 2 pieces and roll them down to make the bone shape. Dip in blood ( marinara sauce) For extra flavor sprinkle with garlic and Parmesan.
🦴 Read a book where a character uses scissors or a character who eats breadsticks or where the authors initials can be found in BONES.

19. Slimy Worms On A Bun
Just slice hot dogs and drop them into boiling water for just a minute or two and they’ll curl a bit. Dunk them in some BBQ sauce and you have slimy worms. Place the worms in a bun and you are set.
🐛 Read a book where a character boils water or eats BBQ or curls up with a book.

20. Cheesy Fingers
Cut string cheese in half to make them kid-sized. Then use the flat side of a knife to make the knuckle marks and attach slivered almonds with a dab of cream cheese for the nails. You can also use a knife to shave off just a bit of the cheese at an angle before attaching the almond.
💅 Read a book with a knife on the cover or where a character eats cheese or where the authors initials can be found in NAILS.

No one will get kicked out but it does make our jobs easier if we can just look down. Normally besides Scattergories there will be a message as part of the task to give page and sentence but only Scattergories uses it all the time.
