Step right up!  Who can hit the Pumpkin?!

What you will need:

  • Plastic Pumpkin or Ghost Trick or Treat Bucket
  • Miniature Candy Bars or other small, individually wrapped candies

How to play:

  • Give each child 3 to 5 pieces of candy and have them toss them into the bucket
  • Kids get to keep the candies that go into the bucket

Variations:

  • The older the kids, the further from the bucket!
  • Play this one in the dark with scary music and a glo-in-the-dark bucket
  • Attack a piece of thin fishing line to the bucket and have someone hide behind a piece of furniture to “mysteriously” move the bucket every now and then
  • Use Ping-Pong balls colored like Eyeballs instead of candy – they bounce and will make it more difficult!  Award candies for getting a ball to stay in the bucket

Make sure to have “consolation” candies on hand for those who miss!
