Apartment decoration

Big room ghosts
Necessary:
.3 balloons
.white fabric (gauze) for the apparel of ghosts
.line
.black marker
.white threads
Inflate the balloon, it will serve to simulate the head. Throw chintz on the ball so that the imaginary head is in the center of the canvas. Use a marker to draw the face of a ghost on the ball-head. With the help of fishing line, fasten the ghost to the ceiling by the ends of the robe. Ghosts can be made not only white, but also black. To do this, pre-paint the chintz, and draw facial features with white paints.

Mini ghosts for the room
Necessary:
.candy chupa chups
.chintz (gauze, paper towels, white napkins)
.black marker
.white threads
.base where ghosts will be attached (pumpkin, long loaf, loaf of bread)
The table decorations will also support the idea of ​​ghosts in the room. Little, cute ghosts will also live there. Chupa-Chups candies will help to make them. Throw chintz or gauze over the candy so that the candy head is located in the center of the garment. Tie a thread around the neck of the ghost, straighten the shroud, draw a face for the ghost, stick the baby into the prepared base and thus form several ghosts with different facial expressions. At the end of the holiday, each invitee will receive several mini-ghosts.

severed head
Necessary:
.gypsum bandages
.big plastic bag
.deep dish with water
.scissors
.knife
.marker
.acrylic paints
.palette
.tassel
.if necessary, a printout of a photo or drawing of a severed head
.large round dish
.candy to fill the head
The head of my husband served as a model for the severed head. We decided to do all the preparations in the bathroom to minimize the dirt that will inevitably arise. I pre-cut the plaster bandage into strips about 10-12 cm long. They put a bag on my husband's head and cut holes in it at the nostrils. The package was smoothed along the contour of the face, expelling air and achieving the effect of the closest possible fit to the skin, the package was tightly tied around the neck. Make sure your model can breathe comfortably and start shaping the head. Dip a strip of plaster bandage into the water, wring it out, straighten it and attach it to the head, carefully smoothing it. The gypsum hardens quite quickly, and the models under the package are not very comfortable, so you have to work quickly and smoothly. We did everything together with my daughter. The procedure for applying the plaster took no more than 10 minutes, but I had to carefully remove it from the head without damaging the form. With a marker, I drew a circle on the top of the head (approximately where the Indians scalped) and drew a vertical line from it along the center of the neck. These are the marks that need to be cut. I couldn’t slip the scissors, so, taking a small but sharp knife, I began to carefully make cuts, holding the knife with a sharp (sharpened edge) towards me. This is a necessary precaution, since the incisions have to be made with a very limited scope of the knife, it is necessary to saw plaster, as it were, and I was afraid of injuring my husband or cutting off part of his hair. By the way, the package is cut along with the plaster. Having made all the incisions, my daughter and I released the father and immediately put a cast on the vertical incision near the neck, completely disguising it. The incision around the circumference was not masked, since, according to the idea, the upper part of the head should lean back so that children can get sweets out of there.
After the plaster was completely dry (after about a day), my daughter and I painted a face on our head. However, it should be noted that before applying facial features, the inner and upper surfaces of the head should be primed so that the plaster does not crumble.

Branches with Halloween symbols
Necessary:
.vase with branches
.trolls
.pumpkins from yarn
.paper figurines of halloween characters
.the bats
Put mossy branches collected in the forest in a vase, if possible, tape a wire with mini-light bulbs (or a garland) to the branches with tape, then the branches will glow beautifully. Hang trolls, pumpkins from yarn, paper figurines of Halloween characters and bats on branches by strings or fishing line.

maple wreaths
Necessary:
.Maple leaves
.wax or paraffin candles
.thick wire
.threads
.scissors
.glue gun
.glue gun sticks
.pot of water
.aluminum bowl
.baking paper
Prepare small maple leaves of various shades. In order for the leaves not to wither and to please us and our children for a long time, we will subject them to wax or paraffin lamination. To do this, boil more water in a saucepan. Once the water boils, reduce the heat and place an aluminum bowl over the pot. In a bowl, put wax or paraffin candles cut into small pieces. While the wax is being kindled in the steam bath we created, cover the work surface with baking paper. It is necessary so that the laminated leaves do not stick to the table and do not stain it. Alternately dip the leaves into the melted wax, let the excess wax drain and lay the finished leaves on baking paper. Prepare the number of leaves you need.
Measure the size of the child's head and form a hoop from a thick wire (preferably with a braid to make the head comfortable). With the help of a thread, fasten the leaves on the hoop with an overlap (like fish scales). Eliminate all blots (places where leaves move away from each other, or where threads are visible) using a glue gun.

Treats

Fruit salad "Jack - lamp"
Necessary:
.4 large oranges (according to the number of guests)
.2 kiwi
.2 bananas
.a few seedless grapes
.whipped cream or yogurt
. gummy worms or snakes
Peel the insides of the oranges and cut out faces with a sharp knife. Finely chop bananas, kiwis, oranges, and grapes. Mix all the ingredients in a large dish, top with whipped cream or yogurt and fill the hollow oranges with the salad. Insert gummy worms or snakes into the holes.

Cake "Halloween"
Necessary:
.wafer cakes
. kiwi
.bananas
.cream for vanilla cake
.cream for chocolate cake
. milk
.boiled condensed milk
.nuts (or banana chips)
.sugar pencils
Whip vanilla and chocolate cake cream with milk in different containers. Lubricate the first cake with chocolate cream, put bananas on top, cut into thin rings. Cover with a second cake and coat it with vanilla cream, on top of which put a dense layer of kiwi rings. Alternate cakes in the selected sequence. The top layer should be chocolate. Draw Halloween symbols on the cake with sugar pencils. Coat the sides of the cake with boiled condensed milk and paste over with banana chips or nuts.
The cake is very easy to prepare and does not take much time. My daughter made it all by herself.

Contests

Pinata for Halloween
Do you know what a pinata or pinata is? This is such a surprise for the holidays. Serves as decoration. Hangs from the ceiling or from a tree branch. At the end of the holiday, the hero of the occasion with his eyes closed must find this very PINAT and smash it with a special festive stick. Pinata crumbles to the delight of guests with a rain of confetti, souvenirs and sweets.
There is a version that it began in Italy, and had the name "fragile pot" - pignatta. Pignatta was filled with jewelry, candy or other trinkets, hung from ropes and swung while a blindfolded player attacked it with a stick. Then, just like today, when the pignatta was broken, guests would pick up fallen souvenirs and sweets.
Some claim that PINATA is a Chinese invention, used during New Year's celebrations. Figures of cows, buffaloes and other animals made of paper with many ribbons of various colors and sizes were used during the New Year. After breaking the figures with multi-colored sticks, the remains were burned, and people collected the ashes for good luck in the new year.
PINATA is a beautiful holiday decoration for both children and adults. Today's pinatas are completely different shapes and sizes. According to the Spanish tradition, pinatas are filled with confetti, fruits and candies, and can also be filled with toys, souvenirs, and jewelry.
According to the method of breaking Piñatas can be divided into two types:
Traditional Piñatas are Piñatas that are smashed with a stick or bat. These Piñatas are best used for playing outdoors, in nature or in large rooms.
Pinatas with ribbons, equipped with special ribbons or ropes. If you pull on a certain rope, Piñata "opens" and crumbles with many candies. All other ropes do not open anything and bring intrigue and additional interest to the game. This Piñata is ideal for playing in small spaces. Note that even Piñatas with ribbons can also be broken with a bat!

Necessary:
.inflated balloons (according to the number of guests)
.gypsum bandages (2 for each participant). Bandages should be pre-cut into strips about 10 long and about 4 centimeters wide
.deep plates or dishes (for fixing the balls)
.2 basins with warm water (one for two children)
.printouts of zombies, mummies, skulls
.paints
.brushes
.spill-proof
.candy for piñata
.chocolate medals
.mini prizes

The Halloween pinata competition is divided into several stages, so you should think about what the children will do in the pauses necessary for the plaster to dry.

I stage
Place the inflated ball in a deep plate and fix it so that the ball is motionless during further work. Dip a strip of plaster bandage in a basin of water, wring it out and straighten the bandage, gently apply it to the surface of the ball. In the same way, glue the entire ball with the exception of a small area needed in order to put sweets and prizes. Let the bandage dry (about 30 min.)

While the plaster dries, I propose to hold a small competition with a light snack.
Pear Witch Contest

II stage
After the plaster frame has dried, the guys need to decide which character they want to get. Depending on this, choose the color of the paint and cover the entire surface of the frame with it (white for the mummy, zombie and skull, orange for the pumpkin). After the background has dried, draw eye sockets, mouth and nose on the face of the character with black paint (for greater clarity and credibility of the image of the features of the characters, I printed drawings of mythical heroes for girls in advance).

pear witch

Necessary:
.4 oatmeal cookies
.4 green pear halves
.4 pairs of raisins (for the eyes)
.4 chocolate M&M blues (for the wart)
.4 small knives (participants bring their own)
.Red Apple
.4 wafer cone cups
.carrot, grated (for hair)
.boiled condensed milk (for gluing parts)
.4 disposable plates
Cut the pears in advance along the fruit and remove the core. Invite the children to put the pear on a plate with the cut down and carefully, at a slightly angle, cut off a piece of pear along the supposed forehead of the witch. This piece will be her nose. In the center of the “face”, make a deepening-cut with a knife and insert the “nose” there.
Poke small holes for the eyes and the warts with a knife and stick the raisins and M&Ms in them.
Cut out a mouth from a red apple and fix it on a pear, making a recess for it with a knife.
Glue the waffle cone onto the oatmeal cookies using boiled condensed milk. If empty waffle cones are not available, you can buy ice cream according to the number of participants, put it out of the straws first, and when the witch pear is completely finished, offer the guys ice cream as an addition to dessert. Attach a hat - oatmeal cookies to a pear for condensed milk. Attach hair - carrots to your head and enjoy the treat! Serve a banana smoothie here.
The competition is approximately 15 minutes long.

The bats

Necessary:
.4 sets of printouts of bats and the moon (cut out). Go to the Canon papercraft website. There is a lot of material for various holidays. The mobile bats kit is taken from there.
.scissors (bring each guest with you)
.line (yarn, twine or thread)
.4 old hangers (or hanger-shaped wire rods)
.syringes with glue "Titan"
.synthetic winterizer
.paints (to each invited person to bring with him). If the guys have paints glowing in the dark, they can separately work out the eyes of bats.
.brushes (bring each invitee with you)
.spill-proof jars (bring your own for each invitee)

Before assembling the movable structure, the children will have to color both halves of the month on their own. To do this, you can use different colors (yellow, sinister purple, reddish, orange). You can also draw the face of the moon (depending on desire and imagination).
While the paints are drying, it is necessary to glue the front and back parts of the bats by inserting a thread or fishing line between them. After the paint has dried, we also glue both halves of the moon (no thread is needed).
It's time to assemble the structure. Invite the children to lay out a wire structure on the floor and attach the ends of the threads from bats to it (the children themselves choose the length of the thread and the place of its attachment to the wire hanger, checking whether the mice are well balanced).
Having broken the synthetic winterizer into small fragments, you can start gluing it to the hanger, forming a cloud on which the crescent lurks (the guys choose the shape and volume of the cloud themselves).

Catching apples

Necessary:
.basin with water
.12 apples
.2 handkerchiefs
.2 large towels
Participants of the competition are divided into teams (2 people each). Pre-washed apples are lowered into the water (by the number of apples there must be more than the participants, so that the competitors always have a choice). The presenter ties the hands of the two contestants behind with a scarf, ties a wide bath towel around their waist, I recommend that the girls tidy their hair to save their wonderful hairstyles. The guys are invited to get any apple from a basin of water with their teeth. The one from the pair who grabs the apple with his teeth wipes himself, puts himself in order and gives way to the next participant, and his partner remains at the pelvis until he copes with the task. (Unscrew the stalks from the apples in advance, otherwise the especially smart ones will grab them with their teeth). Be prepared for the fact that the most daring will not be afraid to dive headlong into the basin and press the apple to the bottom to prevent it from slipping out when captured. This is exactly what my daughter did, and then she advised her friends to repeat this maneuver. Everyone tried! Definitely the most fun and funny contest of the evening! Both participants and spectators got real pleasure and laughed a lot. The team wins, both members of which coped with the task faster. If necessary, the host should always have dry towels on hand.
The competition is approximately 20 minutes long.

Making Halloween Scrapbooking Paper Treat Bags
Necessary:
.4 handbag sample printouts (Canon papercraft website)
.glue (invited bring with them)
.ribbons, pieces of fabric, decorative cords, buttons, beads…
.scissors
.previously taken photos of the invitees (approximately 3 for each participant)
The children are offered pre-cut bag templates (the most complex elements are already glued together). Following the instructions of the facilitator, the participants completely complete their handbags. Everyone is invited to show their imagination and decorate them in the style of "Halloween Scrapbooking" using their Halloween-themed photos and available decorative elements of various properties (paper, fabric, beads, beads, twigs, yarn). Guys receive handbags as a gift and fill them with sweets from a severed head.
The competition is approximately 25 minutes long.

treasure hunt

Arranging in advance with the parents of the children about the holiday, I suggested that they bring me a gift that they would like to give to their child. The fact is that gifts are an individual matter, and it is always nice when children get exactly what they dream of. After receiving gifts for each invitee, I began planning a treasure hunt contest. I wanted the treasure-hunting activities to be joint, but at the same time with elements of individual work, because everyone will look for their own personal treasure!
On the eve of the holiday, I printed 4 different photos (according to the number of participants). Each photo shows a close-up of the girl's face. On the back of the photo is a text explaining the exact location of the treasure. For example: Look for your treasure behind the blinds. The text is printed in a mirror image. My husband and I cut each photo into 12-14 parts (like puzzles), counted the total number of pieces (in our case there were 46). For myself, I wrote down where whose treasure will lie, so as not to confuse anything in the confusion.
After all the main competitions were held and it was time to start looking for the treasure, I asked the girls to play for 5 minutes in my daughter's room and not leave it. During this time, my husband and I hid 42 pieces (puzzles) in the hall, hallway and corridor. 4 puzzles we did not hide. Having called the guests into the hall, I announced to them that everyone will have to find their own treasure, but for this the children will need ingenuity, analysis, ingenuity, patience and mutual assistance. (The girls' eyes sparkled so much that I realized that the treasures have no chance of remaining unfound!) I gave each girl one puzzle and said that they had to find 42 more such pieces (outlined the circle of searches). And she warned that without finding all the pieces, they would not be able to guess the message. What started here! They searched everywhere and everywhere, there were offers to look even in the ground in flower pots!
Having found all the puzzles and counted them several times, the children sat on the floor in the living room and looked at me inquiringly, waiting for further instructions. I said that if they wanted to find the treasure, they would have to figure out the rest for themselves. The brainstorming has begun! The girls immediately realized that they needed to put the puzzle together and started working as a team, but a little later it turned out that the photos were different. They figured that each should put together their own photo. I am proud to say that it was not so easy for them to do this! After the photos were collected, the question arose of how to read the text on the back. Here I quietly put tape and scissors on the edge of the sofa. Active bonding has begun. (While the children were sitting in one place and gluing together, my husband and I put the gifts in the places indicated in the messages. We didn’t do this on purpose in advance so that the children would not find the treasure ahead of time).

The photos are glued together, the text is read, but its meaning is not clear, because on the back is gibberish. The young treasure hunters quickly guessed that the letters were printed in mirror image and ran to read the text in front of the mirror. The secret is out! At this point, my husband and I had to seriously take care of our own safety, because. the girls rushed for the prizes so much that we almost got knocked down!
Prizes have been found, everyone is happy! The competition was a success!!!

Halloween children's heroes

HALLOWEEN PREPARATION FOR CHILDREN

1. Kids Halloween Invitations

If you decide to host a Halloween-themed children's party at your home, try to send out invitations as early as possible. For two or even three weeks. Firstly, this is necessary so that your guests can think carefully about their costume (after all, a Halloween costume is an extremely important attribute!). Secondly, for you, as the event organizer, knowing the exact number of guests is essential as the starting point for the entire celebration. It depends on the number of children what kind of entertainment you offer, in which room you organize a reception, and even how many sweets you need to buy for the holiday.

And for invitation card you can use one of our ideas:

Bat Halloween Invitation

To make something similar at home, you will need: colored paper (black), scissors, and reflective (neon) paint.

Invitationon Halloween"Owl"

This version of the invitation card is a little more difficult to make. To make an owl, you will need to prepare three templates: a torso with a head, a right wing and a left wing (since the wings of a night bird will be movable with us). We draw the details of the owl on thick black cardboard. Then - we fasten the wings to the body with the help of miniature metal nails. We write the text of the invitation with reflective paint (you can even use a real pen if you know how to use it), pack it in an A6 envelope and send it to your guests.

Invitationon Halloween"Pumpkin"

This version of the invitation card is also not too complicated to make. For a postcard you need: half a sheet of A4 cardboard (orange, yellow color), a couple of meters of finishing braid for costumes, blouses (also orange, for the mouth and nose of the pumpkin), a piece of bright orange fleece (we will cut the body of the pumpkin out of it using ordinary scissors). We glue all the details with ordinary PVA glue.

Regarding the accompanying text, everything is also simple here: invite the children to listen to scary stories, taste sweets, have fun and see the miracles that will certainly happen on the eve of All Saints' Day.

And the bat, and the owl, and the pumpkin are cute, harmless attributes of a children's Halloween that can neither cause psychological trauma nor scare. And the philosophy of the holiday of Spirits in such postcards is on the face!

2. Decorations and decor for Halloween at home or school

Here are some amazing ideas that, if you manage to recreate them to the fullest in practice, will create a unique atmosphere of a childish fear room in your home:

- Artificial fog for Halloween

Twilight, gray haze of fog, burning eyes of a pumpkin around ... The blood runs cold in the veins!

Artificial fog can be made as follows. Place buckets half-full of water around the house. And then - add dry ice (there should be enough water in the buckets to cover the dry ice). Proportion: 2 parts water: 1 part ice. If there is warm water in the buckets, create a dense curtain of fog; if it is cold, create a light, illusory haze.

The only "but"! Dry ice is very hazardous to health! Place buckets of water so that they are at a safe distance (height) from the place of children's games and entertainment.

- Tulle Ghosts

Remember the charming, sweet, kind ghost of Casper - the main character of the cartoon of the same name? What about Lizuna from Ghostbusters? A similar, not at all terrible miracle, you can do it yourself!

For "ghosts" you will need: white balloons of different sizes (they need to be inflated with helium), tulle (or a small old sheet), a black marker. Cover the balloon with a cloth and draw a cute face with a black marker. The ghost is ready to celebrate Halloween with you!

- DIY window stickers

Black cats, bats, pumpkins and spiders will peep out of the windows of your house like New Year's snowflakes, in the light of the soft fire of candles and street lamps.

You can make them from thick cardboard or felt. To enhance the "terrifying" effect will help the light source, which must be placed near the window, so that the silhouettes of Halloween can be clearly seen from the street.

- Pumpkins for Halloween

Pumpkin is an obligatory attribute of the night on the eve of All Saints' Day. To make cute faces and light candles inside is a must for everyone who is not indifferent to Halloween.

- Scarecrow for Halloween

A straw scarecrow with a pumpkin head will become a reliable guardian of your house and yard from the influence of real evil forces, and will cause a lot of positive emotions among your little guests.

- Halloween Table Decor

Pumpkin is a great decoration for a festive table. The tablecloth - the basis of the festive serving can be taken in classic black or orange colors, and then decorate the overall composition with cobwebs with spiders, etc. In addition, on this day it is better to serve dishes in black dishes, use black napkins.

In the decor for children's Halloween, it is better to avoid characters with bloody wounds, sharp vampire fangs, etc.

3. Children's Halloween costumes

Costumes should also be chosen without a sharply negative semantic coloring. Cute little witches, or - close to the ethnic understanding of Russian Koschey the Immortal - exactly what you need!

Let me tell you one little secret. On Halloween, you can revive the old Christmas costumes. For example, my daughter was at the New Year's masquerade - Strawberry. Red and green (and these colors are very relevant for the holiday of spirits) - they were present in her costume. We put on black tights under it (adding a little gloom would not hurt) and made a festive make-up (in the style of Halloween - we drew a spider with a cobweb on the cheek). All! Look what a miracle!

But this pumpkin girl in general is a symbol of the whole holiday!

On this day, the costumes of chickens, dragons, superheroes, sweets, sweets and birds (for the smallest participants of the holiday) will be very relevant!

4. Halloween souvenirs

I recently returned from the States, so there is a tradition according to which children in carnival costumes go from house to house, sing songs, tell all sorts of stories, and for this the owners give them a lot of sweets, gingerbread and other souvenirs. I remembered our tradition of being generous under the Old New Year. Russian children (especially in the countryside) also go from house to house, playing all sorts of funny scenes.

Here are a few interesting ideas treats, small gifts for children on the eve of All Saints' Day.

Candy on a stick - ghosts

Rag puppets

Gingerbread "Pumpkin Smile"

It’s just that the costume itself (which the kids wear with such pride!) Is worth it to thank for it with something delicious. And if the child also tried to learn and tell something, be sure to put a gift in his basket!

HALLOWEEN CONTESTS AND GAMES

1. Games and entertainment for Halloween

Halloween Scenario: Fun Halloween Program for Kids

On the night of October 31 to November 1 in the USA and Europe, and in recent years in the CIS countries, Halloween is celebrated - All Saints Day. The Holidays Workshop has prepared a Halloween script that is suitable for children from 7 to 14 years old and a selection of entertainment for younger children. If you decide to try on a mystical image and have a fun Halloween - this article is for you!

This Halloween scenario does not require long and complex preparation, and the holiday will turn out just wonderful! The leading events are the Witch and the Barabashka (artistic adults dress up in them). If you wish, you can pick up other characters. All invitees should be warned in advance to come up with images of all evil spirits: ghosts, witches, sorcerers, mummies, zombies. For greater effectiveness, you can invite a face painter to the event - he will help guests transform into the right characters.

As prizes for contestants, you can use themed souvenirs (eyes on springs, key rings in the form of pumpkins, cats, witches) or sweets.

The holiday begins with the speech of the leading witch.

Witch:

Hello! Welcome to the holiday of horror! I see that all the evil spirits have already gathered ... because today is our day - the terrible and solemn Day of All Saints. It is on the night of October 31 to November 1 that the souls of the dead come from the underworld.

Barabashka (in a mysterious tone): Finally! Here comes the night! Scary stories about coffins, creepy dances in the company of ghosts and just horrible entertainment! You are ready? Then let's start our party!

The game "I'm the most terrible and terrible"

The purpose of entertainment is to introduce all those present, to liberate and create a friendly atmosphere.

Guests stand or sit around the leader. The host takes a small pumpkin (you can use a soft toy) and starts the game with the words "I am the most terrible and terrible witch who ...". Then she tells what she does, for example, takes away sweets from children or eats spiders for breakfast and why she chose this image. Then the host passes it to the first participant, who talks about himself and so on in a circle until everyone introduces themselves.

Barabashka:

Everyone knows that the symbol of Halloween is a glowing pumpkin. But do you know, my dear monsters, where did this attribute come from?

The legend of the glowing pumpkin

A long time ago, the swindler and drunkard Jack invited the devil himself to his Halloween celebration. After the gatherings, the man argued with the guest that he would not climb the tree. The devil quickly climbed to the top, but cunning Jack drew a cross on the tree and the devil could not come down. The man then offered to remove the cross in exchange for never tempting him again.

After his death, Jack was not allowed into heaven because he was a sinner, but the devil did not allow him to go to hell either, giving only a red-hot corner. Jack hid the charcoal in an onion and has been showing up with it ever since on All Saints' Eve. Later in the United States, the onion was replaced with a pumpkin, and since then a luminous orange vegetable with a sinister smile has been a symbol of Halloween.

Competition "Symbol of the holiday"

The hosts offer the children to make the main attribute of the holiday on their own. Each participant is given a small pumpkin and a black marker (if they are children under 10 years old) or a knife (if they are older children).

The task is to draw or cut out a scary face in the allotted time (for example, 15 minutes). Then the hosts determine the "Most Scary Halloween Symbol", "The Most Original Halloween Symbol", etc. Children will be able to take their creations home after the holiday.

Witch:

Oh, how many times I had to celebrate All Saints Day ... already and can not count. But, one thing I remember well - there was always a fun game with donuts!

The game "Sweet tooth"

This entertainment is traditionally present in the Halloween scenario. For the competition, you will need donuts (you can replace with soft bagels) and two ropes or threads. Two donuts are hung on threads at the height of the participants. Then a couple is selected who wish to take part in the competition.

The task of the players is to eat a delicacy without the help of hands. The winner is the one who copes faster and receives a prize from the presenters.

Barabashka:

My old friend Count Dracula passed over a treat for our holiday.

Contest "Feel like Dracula"

The hosts offer the most daring guests of the holiday to taste the “blood of the old magician” (tomato or cherry juice). Everyone gets a glass with a drink and a straw. At the leader's signal, the participants begin to drink. The first person to empty the glass wins.

Witch:

My friends, monsters, witches and ghosts. Yesterday I received a letter from my nephew, Kasper. He has a big problem with his horror studies homework. Little Casper needs to learn how to appear in public so that everyone's knees tremble. And we can't do without your help.

The game "What a horror!"

Each contestant takes turns making a "scary and gruesome" public appearance. For this you can use white cloth or sheet. The winner is chosen by voting or applause.

Barabashka:

Eh, Witch, what terrible guests we all have! But this is not enough, because often evil spirits have to get out of the most unexpected situations.

Fun "Magic Pumpkin"

From a large one, you need to make a container in advance, cleaning out all the contents and washing thoroughly. You should also prepare tasks for the participants - write on pieces of paper (for effect, their edges can be burned) what they should do, for example:

• Tell a scary story;
• Recall 5 proverbs or sayings that mention mystical creatures (“the devil is not as scary as he is painted”, “in the middle of nowhere”, “sell the soul to the devil”, etc.);
• Dance the dance of Baba Yaga with a broom;
• Name 13 mystical characters;
• Name 10 ingredients of a magic potion, etc.

Participants take turns pulling out a note with a task from a pumpkin and completing it. After the competition is over, everyone gets sweets.

Witch:

Although they call us not very kind, we love to have fun and dance. We invite everyone to the disco!

After the dance, the hosts offer festive treats to the children. You can organize a candy bar, where guests can enjoy at any time of the event. Read more about how to decorate a Halloween sweet table in an original way.

If children under 6 years old are present at the holiday, changes can be made to the Halloween script by adding a few entertainments appropriate for their age.

"Gather the Monster"

Each participant receives a picture (witches, pumpkins, ghosts) cut into pieces. We need to collect an image. You can have a speed race.

"Magic Potion"

In the room you need to scatter artificial flowers, leaves, pumpkins, rubber spiders, frogs, snakes. The task of the children is to collect the ingredients for making the potion in the amount indicated by the leader. For example, 10 maple leaves, 3 daisies, 5 frogs and 4 snakes.

I'm always happy to help in holding and organizing a holiday!

By the end of the most difficult and "terrible" first quarter, my son and his fifth grade friends were somehow tired. Therefore, we adults decided to give the children (5 girls and 7 boys) the opportunity to relieve stress, and arranged a homemade "Funny Horror Party". Moreover, the overseas holiday "Halloween" is just around the corner.
This time, the requirements were:
1. Make a holiday not "for children", but to "together with children." Those. it should be chamber, in the best traditions of home holidays. I repeat: not when "children and an entertaining animator", but when adults and children have fun together, and the younger and older are united by common ideas and experiences.
2. Spend as little money as possible, and spend as much fantasy as possible.
3. To scare children in such a way that it is terribly funny.
The organizer of private holidays Ulyana implemented and corrected our plan, she also created the scenery, wrote the script, directed and led the party.
We decided to start our journey "to the land of horrors" at the entrance. And having gathered the children at the entrance, they blindfolded them in front of the elevator ... "Now we will ascend on a fiery chariot to a parallel world ..." - Ulyana howled in a sepulchral voice, and we entered the elevator.
As they climbed to the right floor, the children heard the howling of the wind, the ominous hooting of the owl, the cawing of crows and the shrill cries of birds. Coming out of the door, they got into a magical forest and passed through the bushes, driven by the howl of a wolf. Then - they heard the murmur of water, and jumped over the stream. (At the same time, splashes of water hit their faces).
Two more steps - and we almost got stuck in a swamp with frogs, but safely reached land, and opened our eyes already in a fairy tale.

For adults, I will say that the necessary sounds were recorded on the player and broadcast through small portable speakers. Potted flowers pretended to be a forest (we have a lot of them in the entrance, and they are quite large), sprays were organized using a sprayer for plants, and an air mattress spread out in front of the door played the role of a swamp.
The room greeted the guests with twilight, where bats, a man-eating spider, a couple of ghosts, and a laid table lurked in the depths.

Having gathered behind him, we together filled medical test tubes (bought on purpose) with cherry "blood" from a jug and began a feast.

While eating pizza, they entertained each other with competitions for the loudest howl, pitiful cry, scary face, etc. Prizes - gummy beetles-worms-centipedes - went to everyone.
Then it was time to change into costumes and show off to the people around you.

I’ll say a special word about clothes: a week before the holiday, we asked each child to come up with an image for himself. And ... try to create it with mom using improvised means: old clothes, hats, gloves, and more. Moreover, wearing a costume, the child had to enter into the role and tell his "story". Something like "I'm a Skeleton, I live in a crypt, I'm bored here with bats ...". True, at first we were very afraid that our teenagers would decide that they were already adults for the masquerade. But the idea was received with enthusiasm.

As a result, we heard a lot of wonderful stories, and admired each other's imagination.

Then we moved on to theatrical performances, and had two "Scare Games": "Pharaoh" and "Haunted House". In principle, these are games that many of us, adults, played enough in the Soviet pioneer childhood. But if someone forgot or does not know, I give a description below:
"Pharaoh".
Active frightening - 2 children under the supervision of an adult. The first ("pharaoh") is wrapped in cloth and lies down on the sofa. The second (guide) calls the participants to the room one by one. Leader (adult) - assists.
The rest are those who are afraid.
The “tour guide” introduces a blindfolded man into the room: “You are in Egypt, in an ancient tomb. This is the Pharaoh’s room (touches the participant’s furniture with his finger). This is the Pharaoh (touches the one lying on the sofa). This is the Pharaoh’s hair. This is the face This is the nose (Touch everything they talk about) And this is the EYE OF THE PHAROOH! , squeals.Then they take off his bandage, and he sees what's funny.
The same story is then repeated with the next participant. Our experience has shown that the game is not outdated at all, and causes the same wild excitement as it did 30 years ago.
"Haunted house".
Active frightening - 2-3 children under the supervision of an adult.
The facilitator introduces the participant into the room. There he is met by a child in a Ghost costume, and begins to grimace. Naturally, the participant is not too scared, and he looks skeptically at what is happening. But then, from behind, another child abruptly lowers his hands on the shoulders of the participant. As a rule, the participant squeals in surprise ...
But that's not enough to be frightening. And they offer him to blow out the flame of the candle with a cry. And then the glass trembles from the squeal :))))))
But the funny thing is that those who are waiting for their turn outside the door to the room do not know what is happening there. And in horror they think what is SO terrible there.
Then it’s very fun to discuss who thought what at these moments ....
Our children were just wildly delighted and asked to continue. But we decided not to test the nerves of the neighbors anymore, and moved on to the "Mumiy" contest.

Wrapping each other up in toilet paper at speed is as old as the world. But fun.

Where do without it?

The final chord is "the uprising of the mummies."

And, of course, the contest "Who will collect all this from the carpet faster :))))
It was time to move on to tea cakes and scary storytelling.

Yes, yes, the same ones that we, as children, told each other in the pioneer camp around the campfire. Our children also had something to tell the world and their parents...

And the 40 minutes allotted for this was sorely lacking. But the party was scheduled for 3 hours, and time was coming to an end.
Therefore, we quickly handed balloons to the guests and asked them to blow all their horrors into them. And then they went down to the street, and ... got rid of fears by bursting all the balls.
And in return, in memory of the party, they gave small luminous souvenirs. But most of all, our faces shone with delight - it turned out really great. And we didn’t want to leave - we all accompanied our wonderful presenter Ulyana to the metro together ...

And finally - just a few words about the "Forest Spirit" costume, which my son and I created ourselves.

B. Ya. So I ... this ... I am generally white and fluffy (falls at feet). I just dressed up to have fun, because there were no happy holidays for a long time. I just wanted to deceive the pure force, so that they would take me for their own and tell all the secrets (loudly in my ear whispers: "The vampire is preparing an attack on the pig farm, and Barabashka wants to scare Tatyana Petrovna). I'll tell you everything, so that they don't mind. (Heroes surround her, prepare to drive her away, but the Angel does not give)

Agree?

And we guys say goodbye to you until January!

I held this competition with children from the orphanage from 6 to 14 years old. The holiday was held in one breath - very fun and varied, unprecedented activity. The characters were played by teachers. The hall was also appropriately decorated - cobwebs, bones, scary faces. The children showed an unprecedented imagination in the design of the outfit, the numbers were very original and funny. Also elder the boy was made a room of fear (only for adult children, for example, a raw egg in a glass - the eye of Likha-one-eyed, 2 sausages - fingers of a witch, etc. only all in the dark to terrible music).

Script written by myself I am happy to share with you.
