Kids always love relay games.  And this one has eyeballs!

What you will need:

• One Ping Pong Ball for each child – Painted to look like an eyeball
• One spoon for each team
• Jack-o-lanterns or other Halloween decorations to mark the course

How to play:

• Divide the children into teams
• Children must carry their “Eyeball” on the spoon and travel the course you have marked with the Jack-o-lanterns or other decorations.  No touching the “Eyeball”!
• When they get back to the starting point, the spoon is passed to the next child, until all members of the team have completed the course
• First team to have all members carry their “Eyeball” to the end of the course successfully wins!

Variations:

• Play outside and create an obstacle course around the yard, around shrubbery, over the dog house, under the patio table…or have someone pop out from behind a bush to scare them!
• Play inside and hang spider webs for the kids to walk through
• Set up a fan with streamers blowing that the kids have to walk by

The older the kids, the more obstacles you should create to keep it exciting!

Another fun relay game…and edible, too!

What you will need:

• Lots of Candy Corn
• 2 Plastic Pumpkin or Ghost buckets for each team
• 1 Spoon for each team

How to play:

• Divide the children into teams
• Have a bucket of Candy Corn at the starting point for each team and another empty bucket at the end of the course
• Each team takes turns scooping up a spoonful of Candy Corn and running it to their empty bucket.
• First team to completely transfer all of their candy corn, wins!

You’ll have to be careful on this one that they don’t eat the Candy Corn first!

Variations:

• Just like the Eyeball Relay, try this one outside and set up an outrageous obstacle course – under the patio table, over the dog house, around the tree…
• Play this one inside, in the dark, and use glow in the dark buckets (or a small flashlight beside or inside the buckets)
• Hand spider webs for the kids to walk through and have fans with streamers blowing for them to walk around
