Backyard Halloween ActivitiesBy JHCadmin, October 7, 2009 Here are some fun, backyard Halloween activities courtesy of Green Halloween.Dunk for apples or try to bite apples hanging from strings.Make recycled paper hats. Get patterns and add decorations as wanted.Put on a Halloween themed puppet show The kids can do the entire thing themselves including making the puppets and creating the story or you can read a book as they act out the story.Make a mural. Use a long sheet of tree-free or recycled paper and tape it to the floor or wall. Give kids some crayons and ask them all to draw some Halloween scenes. Then ask them about what they’ve drawn. Older kids enjoy this too. They can vote on the scene they like best and the winner can be given a prize. Check here for healthy art supplies.Build A Scarecrow Form groups and have a variety of old clothes, pillowcases for heads, markers and recycled newspaper. Groups have 20 minutes to create. Give prizes to the scariest or funniest, then place outside.Guess The Ghost - Great for Young Children Have one child leave the area. Then take a large sheet and have a different (child) stand and hide under the sheet. Mix up the remaining children in the room and then allow the child who left the room to come back inside. That child has to guess who's the ghost, by process of elimination they need to figure out which child is hiding under the sheet. Then that "Ghost" goes out of the room and a different child becomes the new ghost, mix up the remaining children and repeat until all of the children have had a turn being the ghost.Recent Articles See All Sustainable Hardwood Furniture: Perfect Indoors and Outdoors Outdoor Furniture Author:Rich's For The Home Posted:June 1, 2022 What do the following have in common?
