Halloween Word Game
Materials
- Wrapped Candy
- Small paper bags
- Markers
- Paper
Procedures
- Write the following words in large letters on a piece of
paper and tape the paper up where everyone can see it:
HALLOWEEN, CANDY, WITCH, PARTY, GHOST, TRICK OR TREAT, and
PUMPKIN.
- Give each
student a bag with ten pieces of wrapped candy in it.
- Have the players write their names on their bags so that
the bags don't get mixed up.
- Instruct
students to sit in pairs on the floor with their bags of
candy in their laps.
- Read the rules for the Halloween Word
Game aloud:
- The object of the game is to avoid saying the words:
HALLOWEEN, CANDY, WITCH, PARTY, GHOST, TRICK OR TREAT, or
PUMPKIN when discussing a topic selected by the teacher.
- Every student must talk about the topic --staying
silent or discussing something else is not an option.
- If a student says any of the Halloween words by
mistake she must give one piece of candy to her partner.
- The person with the most candy in his bag at the end
of the game is the winner.
- Start the game by reading the first prompt:
- PROMPT #1: An alien rings your doorbell on Halloween
night and asks you what is going on. Describe Halloween
for him.
- PROMPT #2: Describe five activities that people do on
Halloween.
- PROMPT #3: You are having a Halloween party and you
need to get your friends to help you decorate the room.
They have no idea what to do and you need to instruct
them. What would you say?
- It should be a challenge for students to discuss these
topics without using any of the forbidden words. A lot of
candy exchanging should happen during the game.
- End the game when student tire of it, (or when the
whistle sounds to move on to another activity). Remind
students that everyone gets to keep any candy they have left
in their bags at the end.

Walk on the Witch
Materials
- Big brown paper bag, or big picture of a witches
hat
- Pencil
- Scissors
- Tape
- CD player, tape player, or radio
Instructions
- Make a picture of a witch's hat by cutting the
bag and opening it out flat.
- Draw a big witch's hat on the flattened bag and
cut it out.
- Tape the picture of a witch's hat on the floor
before you play the game.
- Explain that this is a Halloween version of
musical chairs with the witch's hat replacing the
chairs. With their eyes closed, students will walk
back and forth across the hat on the floor for as
long as the music is playing. When the music stops
the person who is standing on the hat is out of the
game.
- Ask for a student volunteer to be the No Peeking
Wizard.
- Explain that the No Peeking Wizard controls when
the music stops and starts. The No Peeking Wizard
also watches to make sure that no one opens their
eyes when the music is playing. Whoever peeks is out
of the game.
- Ask students to line up in a straight line and
shut their eyes. When the music starts, the players
walk back and forth across the hat keeping their
eyes closed. They should keep moving until the music
stops.
- When the music stops, the person who is standing
on the hat is out of the game. The last player left
wins!

Title - Pumpkin Numbers
Game Objectives:
TLW play pumpkin numbers game.
TLW keep score during the game.
Materials Needed:
candy with pumpkin wrapping, plastic cups for candy,
paper and pencil to keep score, Halloween books
Procedure:
Read RattleBone Rock and The Teeny Tiny Ghost.
Discuss the books with the children.
Have children go back to their desks.
Pair the children.
Give each pair of children a cup with five candies
in it.
Have children shake cup and dump candy onto their
desk. For every candy that lands face up, they get
one point.
Have children keep score on their sheet. The child
with the most points wins.
Related Books:
RattleBone Rock by Sylvia Andrews
The Teeny Tiny Ghost by Kay Winters
Ways to Simplify:
Give each pair of children 30 candies and have them
play with 5 at a time.
The children play game without keeping score;
instead of earning points, the children keep all the
candies that land face up (Have extra candy for the
other children that may not have gotten any or very
little candy).
Ways to Extend:
Increase the number of candies; the children will
only put five in the cup at a time. Have children
roll dice and get the number of candies on the dice.
Then have the children make a graph comparing each
other’s candies after all the candies are gone form
their pile.
Assessment:
Check for children’s understanding of the game.
Walk around and observe the children’s score
keeping. What methods are they using? Are they
writing numbers or making tally marks?
