Fun way to get some sweet treats. This game can be made harder by moving the containers around, or placing them on moving objects.

Here's what you need to play this Halloween party game:

  • 3 Pumpkin containers or buckets
  • Ping pong balls
  • Sharpie markers; colors: red, black, blue and green
  • Candy

    Here's how to play:
    To make the eyeballs: Using the blue or green sharpie marker, make a round dot for the iris of the eye. Using the red marker, make veins radiating from the colored part of the eye on the white. When these dry, make the pupil of the eye with the black marker.

    For this fun activity, you place candy at the bottom of pumpkin containers and place them around the floor. Give the player 3 to 5 ping pong eyeballs and have them try to bounce the ball into a container. If they make it in the container, they get a piece of candy from that container.

    When you have the group of teens ready, send them off to hunt for pumpkins with a loud, "Go!" When a teen find a pumpkin, they get the prize that matches the number on the bottom.
