Looking for ideas to keep your youngest Halloween party guests entertained? Here are a few games and activities for school or home celebrations:

Skeleton Scavenger Hunt {Family Fun Magazine}

What You Need

• Large cardboard or plastic skeleton decoration
• Long sheet of paper
• Marker
• Tacks or tape

Instructions

• Trace a large cardboard or plastic skeleton decoration on a long sheet of paper. (Use a skeleton with movable limbs like the one shown here.)
• Next, carefully take the skeleton apart at its joints and hide the parts around your house or yard.
• During the party, ask the kids to "unearth" the bones and reassemble the skeleton by tacking or taping the parts onto the outline. When the skinny spook has been re-created, celebrate by giving each player a small prize.

Halloween Tossing Game {Better Homes & Gardens}

Download and print the Better Homes and Gardens patterns (found here), a sign for the Can Toss game and one to wrap each can. Measure around the cans and cut printed papers to wrap around them; secure with glue. Arrange the cans on a tiered shelf with designated points. Provide the kids with table tennis balls to toss into the cans.

Roll a Jack-O-Lantern {my own interpretation of a game at Oopsey Daisy Blog}

FREE printable from PaperCourt Press

What you need

Pumpkins cut out of construction paper

Eyes, noses, mouths and teeth cut outs (or markers for the kids to draw the features)

Dice (I'd love to find a huge die to use for little kid's kindergarten party but a small set will work just fine.)

Instructions

Roll the die and let the kids create their crazy pumpkin!
