Halloween Games for the Classroom
If you ask children what their favorite holiday is, the most likely response from most of them will be Christmas, with Halloween coming in a close second. Some children will choose Halloween as their favorite simply because of all the candy. But this holiday, with all its goblins and ghouls, likely makes the top two favorite holidays on most children's' lists. To that end, then, it's always fun to have a raucous Halloween class party. With lots of fun games and activities, and plenty of candy for prizes, it's sure to be a hit with kids of all school ages.
Pumpkin Bowling
For younger children how about a game of pumpkin bowling? Find some of those inexpensive plastic pumpkin treat buckets and stack them up on a hard floor. You can stack them as high as you like, but you have to start with at least three buckets. If you get many buckets, you can make a pyramid out of them. Find some lightweight plastic balls - plastic bowling balls are excellent for this. And let the kids go bowling! The kids love knocking over the pumpkin heads and all the kids who play should get a prize for this game. Beware this game might get a little rowdy so be careful where you play!
Mummies
Kids of all ages enjoy making mummies out of themselves and their friends. Bring in toilet paper, lots and lots of toilet paper. Divide the kids into teams of 2. When you begin timing the kids, they must wrap their friend up in the toilet paper, mummy style. The first team who gets all wrapped up wins. The child who's wrapped up like a mummy can then break out of the toilet paper wrap with a scary "roar" and the game begins again so another child can also be wrapped. Be sure to play some spooky Halloween music while this game is being played to add to the atmosphere.
Storytelling Telephone
Circle time! Have all the kids get in a circle and begin a spooky story. The story can begin with the classic, "It was a dark and spooky night..." and then the person next in the circle continues the story. Each child adds something to the story as it moves around the circle. If the children are young, you can keep the story on the straight and narrow by indicating no gruesome elements will be allowed. If the kids are older, you can decide how scary the story can be. Be aware that children in higher elementary grades will not only like their stories fairly scary and gruesome, but some might even add "booger" and "snot" and "throw up" elements to their story. You can set the rules ahead of time to prepare for this type of storytelling.
Halloween Musical Chairs
No game has held onto children's interests for more years than the classic "musical chairs". This version includes playing Halloween music (think "Monster Mash" or "Thriller" by Michael Jackson) and asking the kids to act as spooky and scary as they can while they race around the chairs. You can up the rules depending on the ages of the children. For example, for children in the lower grades you can tell them to just walk around the chairs until the music stops. As they get older, you can add challenging elements, such as make scary faces as you walk around the chairs, do the monster mash (whatever that means to the individual kid) and other things like that. You're sure to get some creative responses.
Halloween Cakewalk
Kids love cakewalks, but they aren't practical in the classroom. You could, however, have a treat walk. Save enough space in the classroom for this one. Again, play some Halloween-themed music and have the kids walk around in a circle as they do for cakewalks during other school events. Instead of having them walk onto number squares or circles, however, you can have them walking onto cardboard discs that include pictures of ghosts, monsters and the like. The person running the cakewalk will stop the music and pull a matching picture out of a pumpkin head. Instead of calling "#14", for example, as the winner of the cakewalk, it will be "ghost head" or "monster mouth".
Halloween is such a fun holiday for children of all ages that it won't be difficult to get them in the mood to play games. Wearing costumes to school that day would make any of these games more exciting and give these children one day they are sure to remember!

Frequently Asked Questions...
Should I call the police and report my employer?
There are 20 pumpkins stacked in the lobby for family carving day (barf) this weekend. The smell is making me sick. Since I can't write him up for distracting me during Y!A should I call the cops on him instead?
Flingershocker lol do I look like the kind of girl that breaks wind?
Answer:
If you don't, I will.
I'm a Detective in the Connecticut State Police twenty-five years now, and these other people are pulling your leg, Mrs.
What your employer is doing is a clear case of harassment and you must do something about it before he escalates and takes it to a more dangerous level.
I remember once, back in '94 my partner and I arrived on the scene at a local roller bearing factory where they also housed the corporate offices. We walked in past sobbing office women and shocked men in cheap suits to a cubicle where we found a woman- dead. All around here were pomegranates, yes I said pomegranates. After some questioning we discovered that her boss was secretly practicing voodoo in his office and was using the pomegranates to seduce this poor woman after she rejected his borderline harassing attempts to get her out for drinks. We found shrunken heads in his desk drawer and chicken bones in his pen holders, this was all we needed to bring him in. Anyways, the woman was so overwhelmed by the fumes that she swooned. This was the object of the spell, of course, but he was supposed to be there as the first thing she saw in this state and thereby cause her to fall hopelessly in love with him. Unfortunately for her he was in the bathroom at the time giving himself a mid day NETI cleanse (http://www.healingdaily.com/exercise/neti-pot.htm ) so she was left to fall in love with the first thing she saw: her stapler, of course. When we lifted her head up from her desk she was covered, just completely covered in staples all over her ecstatic , beautiful yet very dead face. She was kissing the stapler and, according to the forensic specialists, she also tried to make love to it.
Yes, this story turned gory, but it is the time of year for it.
; )
Call the police on this creep before it's too late!!
