Suggestions: Twelve years old? I bet you want really scary ideas! Frighten your guests as soon as they arrive. Put a ‘Beware’ sign on your front gate or door. Tape off the whole yard with tape like a crime scene.

Have a smoke machine and creepy noises playing. Black out the windows with black plastic, maybe cut some ghost or bat shapes first. Tape black plastic over the door, with a slit up the middle, so they have to climb through to get in. Make sure the front entrance is dark. Just inside the door, have a stroble light flashing, so they have trouble seeing.  Scream and grab their hand as they enter.

You can get ‘bloodied’ sheets online, or make them yourself using fake blood. Ask mum for old sheets. Hang one on the wall, and use one for a tablecloth.

For games, tell ghost stories in a dark room, and get your mum or someone to frighten the heck out of them at the ‘right time’. Before you get to the spooky stories, burn off your energy with a race to see which team  can wrap their mummy (volunteer person) fastest with two rolls of toilet paper.

Suggestions:

Musical Tombstones

Draw or print some pictures of tombstones the size of a piece of standard paper. Spread them out on the floor. Play musical chairs, except instead of chairs you have to jump on a tombstone. Have a parent do the music.

Wrap Your Mummy Race

You’ll need 2 rolls of toilet paper. Divide guests into two teams.  One person is the ‘mummy’ and the rest of the team have to wrap the mummy in toilet paper. The first team to finish wins.

Printed Decorations

Print off some halloween pictures from online to use for decorations. If you’re short of ink, look for non-cloured in pictured and clour them in yourselves. It makes it more fun to make your own decorations. String some pumpkin pictures together with yarn to make garland.

Cheap Ghosts

Use white sheets to make ghosts. Dont ruin the sheets by drawing on them with permanent marker or cutting holes in them. Instead, use black  paper or material to make circles and pin them on the sheets for eyes.

Or try using white garbage bags instead of sheets, thend raw the faces with permanent marker.

Using tissues or paper towel, Make small white hanging ghosts  by tying a thread around the ‘neck’ . Use a marker for the eyes and hang them with fishing line or string.

Go Batty

Draw bat outlines on black paper, or colour in bats you’ve drawn on white paper. Cut them out and hang them with string from the ceiling or trees near the front door.

Spooky Welcome

Scare visitors with a big spooky face on the steps. Stuff a large black garbage bag with some clothes, rags or leaves. Tie the bag at the top and put a rest a hat on it.  Cut out  large scary eyes, nose and mouth from white paper and tape them onto the bag.

Halloween Movie Night

Get a scary movie for free from the local library. Make some popcorn.

Cut the leftover half bag into long thin pieces and connect them to make long the legs. Cut out yut yellow eyes from coloured paper adn stick them on the head. Attach the legs and arrange it in the corner of the room. If it’s light, you can hang it from the ceiling.
