HALLOWEEN PARTY GAMES
Pin the Nose on the
Pumpkin
Object of the Game: Like "Pin the Tail on the Donkey", this
game has you pinning a nose on a Jack-O-Lantern.
What To Do: You can use a real pumpkin, an artificial pumpkin,
a large drawing or picture of a pumpkin on cork board. Pre cut and have ready a black
construction paper nose. The pumpkin should have eyes and a mouth already cut out or glued
on with an open spot for the nose. Blindfold each player as they take a turn to play. Spin
each player around three times and let them go. They must try to pin the nose on the
pumpkin in the correct spot. The other kids can yell "Hot" or "Cold"
if they are missing the pumpkin completely. Use a push pin to attach the nose, it's easier
on little thumbs and not as dangerous as regular thumbtacks for attaching a nose. For
smaller children, use tape. The player that comes closest to the right spot is the winner.
What You Need: A pumpkin (real, artificial or made from
cardboard). A pumpkin nose made from black construction paper. Pushpins or tape. A
blindfold.
