Competitions for Halloween. How to entertain children at home.

Halloween is a holiday that has a long history. In Russia, the day of all the saints began to celebrate not so long ago. In America, Halloween is usually celebrated with a large number of competitions. To this day they prepare in advance: stores arrange sales, houses are decorated in accordance with the main symbols of the holiday. Especially this holiday is loved by children. They dress up in costumes of vampires, witches and other evil spirits. In this form, the boys go to their homes and ask for sweets. If somewhere the owners are greedy, the company can easily arrange a little prank. For example, shower the house with toilet paper.

At us this date is marked, certainly, not so scale, but competitions on Halloween already had time to become a small tradition practically in each family. This is an excellent occasion to gather the houses of all your friends, and for their kids to arrange an evening with rallies, fun themed games and prizes.

Contests for Halloween should be united by one theme - mysticism and all sorts of riddles. All games should be a little bit creepy, but do not go too far with this stick. After all, our main task is to arrange a holiday for children, and not to scare them to tears. In order for the evening to be special and for a long time to be remembered, it is necessary to create an appropriate atmosphere. Arrange a holiday in the evening, curtain the windows, mute the light and create a dim light in the room. Hang a lantern on the chandelier, and decorate the cornice and curtains with homemade bats, which you can easily cut yourself out of paper. On the walls hang paper skeletons, silhouettes of ghosts, witches on broomsticks and spiders. Put a real pumpkin on the table with a carved engraved on it. Inside place the lighted candle. In advance, warn everyone that you need to come only in suits. It will be an excellent occasion for children to dress up and decorate their faces with makeup. Contests for Halloween can also include choosing the most terrible costume. All the dishes on the table are well decorated with paper spiders and threaded like cobwebs.

Games and contests for Halloween

Bows

Start with the fact that beforehand hide in the room as many bows. Since the main color of the holiday is yellow, it is best to use just such tapes. In addition, they will be clearly visible in the twilight. Use interesting and unusual places to make it more interesting for children to look. Whoever collects more bows will get a prize. As incentives, you can use sweets, fruits, balloons, as well as a variety of thematic figures.

The Islands

The so-called "islands" are laid out on the floor - sheets of yellow dense yellow paper. They can be cut and painted as a part of the land. The size of them should be such that on one "island" only two feet were placed. The number of sheets should be 2 times smaller than the participants. Children are declared the conditions of the competition: while music is playing, they can freely swim in the "sea" without going to the "islands". As soon as the sounds stop, everyone should try to get up on the sheet of Whatman. At the same time on each "island" there will be two participants. Both should try to hold on to each other. If someone falls into the "sea", then it absorbs it. Retiring takes with him one "island". The winner receives a prize. Remember that the competitions for Halloween should be fun, not traumatic. Therefore, beforehand spread something soft on the floor.

Portrait

Participants are divided into two roughly equal teams. One of them remains in the room, and the second one must come out and decide which of the remaining participants they should draw a cartoon (a funny portrait). After that, those who draw, turn blindfolded in turn and lead to a large sheet of Whatman. One participant draws one detail of the portrait. The second team must guess the person who was referring to. Then the commands change places. Here, gifts are best presented to everyone, since the competition is aimed primarily at entertainment.
