Grab a few rolls of toilet paper and match the kids up in pairs. Of course you could also have them choose partners.

Ask each pair to decide which one of them will be the mummy and who will do the wrapping.

Then – you guessed it – have one of the children wrap the toilet paper around the other, creating a mummy.

When you start playing the music the teams can start wrapping up the mummy. Try to play some fun and Halloween songs like “Monster Mash” and when you turn the music off the kids need to stop.

You can either make it a contest of speed or one of creativity. For the first, the team that has a completely wrapped mummy first wins. For the second contest, the kids take as long as they need to and you get to play judge and pick the best looking mummy.
