Boo Bowling! A Ghostly Halloween Party Game that's Fun for the kids


 Here's a fun game for the kids at your Halloween party. It's a nice safe game.
 We first saw this game  in the Taste of Home magazine. It's a great idea!



Our dollar store paper towels had a bit of a design but I'm sure if you
 prefer a plain paper towel you can find them. You want a very thin roll. 
We tried to use our Costco paper towels and the roll was over an 1" thicker. 
(as it should be)  Use a clear piece of tape to secure the starting edge 
of the paper towel. (The starting edge on the paper towels I used was still 
secured to the roll so I didn't have to use tape) 
We bought the foam pumpkin at Michaels for $6.99. 
Already had the 1" electrical tape and the googly eyes.



Set up the 6 paper towel rolls in a triangle on a flat surface and
 let the kids take a turn throwing the pumpkin (as if it were a bowling ball) 
 and see how many "pins" they can knock down. This is a game that can 
be played over and over, as many times as they want and for as long as it is fun!



Use an exacto knife to cut the three circles. Just make sure they are
 large enough for everyone's fingers. You can either use black paint or 
black marker to color the sides of the circles. The foam is a dark yellow
 color and not very "Halloweenie" (is that a word?)


When we put the googly eyes on the bowling pins 
(attached with foam tabs) we made each one a little different,
 but it's up to you how you style your ghosts.  So now you have
 another fun game to add to your Halloween tradition and best
 of all it's easy on the wallet...... Enjoy!

Halloween Pumpkin Toss Game-Using Foam Pumpkins-Fun for All!





Games are very important for a successful Halloween party! This Funkins (pumpkins)  toss game looks like a lot of fun and it gives you another reason to create! It's just a simple tossing game but stepped up a notch by using the foam pumkins and adding embellishments! The patterns for the leaves and instructions can be found over at the JOANN'S web site.



The final and best part of this game is throwing a glow stick inside, turning down the lights and playing in the dark!  The winner gets a big fat chocolate bar?  (You can buy the green glow sticks for $1.00 at the dollar store and also Walmart) 


 We bought these purple Funkins after Halloween last year at Hobby Lobby for about $4.00 a piece!  I was so excited to see them on sale. I'm thinking about spraying some of them orange....


The foam FUNKIN pumpkins are pretty easy to carve. The instructions tell you to use the same kind of carving knife that you would use with a real pumpkin. The best part of Funkins.....using them over and over again. You've invested only once in this fun Halloween decor.  HERE  is the web site for FUNKINS pumpkins....lots of great ideas over there.
