Crafty Crafts
Set up your own pumpkin patch and invite guests to pick out a pumpkin to decorate.  Provide paint, brushes, markers, stickers and embellishments, with a challenge for everyone to be creative.  Give candy and small toy prizes to winners for the funniest, scariest, most original or best overall decorated pumpkin. 

No-Bake Contest
Gather everyone to decorate pre-made Halloween cookies using several colors of frosting and a buffet of different candies.  Be sure to keep party favor bags handy so your guests can take home the treats.

Weave a Tangled Tale
By candlelight or dark of night this method of telling tales will get everyone involved! See how quick and  clever everyone can be by having one person start the story, then stop mid-sentence for the next person to pick up where he/she left off.

Crazy Costume Contest
Hand out prizes and goody bags to the funniest, wackiest and most clever costumes! You can even let your guests choose the categories for the contest ahead of time so they can plan their costumes accordingly.
