This Halloween party idea from Party Game Ideas is an egg race with a twist. Have kids decorate ping pong balls, recycled plastic eggs or hard-boiled eggs to look like eyeballs. Then, have kids balance their “eyeballs” on spoons and race. (Pro tip: don’t use raw eggs, unless you want a really messy cleanup job ahead of you.)
Not so much the party-hosting type? Don’t worry: There are plenty of games, activities, corn mazes, hayrides, animal shows and more at all the local pumpkin patches.
