Give your preschool child a head start for school.

Finding fun games to play at a Halloween Party can be hard to do sometimes. This Halloween game can be played by young and old alike. All will have a lot of fun hunting for those pesky ghosts. Here's how the game is played.

How to Play

Start by making the ghosts. Using heavy white construction paper, have your guests draw the outline of the ghost. They can make as many ghosts as their paper will hold. Remind them they have to cut them out so they will need room between ghosts for the scissors to be maneuvered.

Next let them decorate their ghosts. You can use crayons, colored pencils or markers. Encourage them to decorate their ghosts so they stand out and to stick to Halloween ideas.

After the ghosts are all made; separate your guests into 2 teams. Send the first team out to hide the ghosts. Don't forget to write down the number of ghosts you have. That way the kids will know when all have been found.

Next send the second team out to find those pesky hiding ghosts. Give them a time limit to find them in. When the time is up, count the ghosts and see how many they found. If not all the ghosts were found send the first team to retrieve any left in hiding.

Then reverse the teams and let them go at it again. When time is up, the second time around, count those ghosts once again. The team who found the most ghosts wins.

You, your children and their Halloween guests will have a great time making, hiding and hunting for those ghosts.
