Terrorific to-do’s• Bob for apples. Fill a big tub of water with apples. Try to pick up one with your teeth. No hands can be used.
• Decorate pumpkins. Ask each guest to decorate a small pumpkin using cut paper and markers. Give awards for the best.
• Play disappearing chairs. This is like musical chairs except with a different name. Use spooky music for your game!
• Play pass the orange. Get in a line or circle. Try passing an orange from person to person without touching it with your hands.
