Gourd Game
-
Start the party with a gourd-sweeping relay race. Divide the first graders into two teams and have them line up at a starting line. Mark a finish line about 15 feet from the starting line. Give the first player in each team a broom and a gourd. When you say, "Go," the players have to place the gourd on the floor and sweep it to the finish line. Once they reach the finish line, they can pick it up and run it back to the next player in line. The first team to finish the relay race wins the game.
Miniature Pumpkin Decorating
-
Give each student a miniature pumpkin and let her decorate the pumpkin. Place markers, paint, glitter, glue, stickers and stencils on tables for the children to use to decorate their pumpkins. After the pumpkins dry, the children can take them home to show their parents. You could also award prizes for the best, silliest, scariest, funniest and prettiest miniature pumpkins.

Hand Halloween Treats
-
Hand each student a clear plastic glove and some candy corns. Tell her to place two or three candy corns in the fingers and thumb of the glove. Give each student a bowl of popped popcorn. Have her fill the fingers, thumb and hand with the popcorn. Tie a rubber band around the wrist. The children can tie orange and black ribbon around the rubber band for added decoration. Hand a plastic spider ring to each child and tell her to place it on one of the "fingers." The children can take the hand treats home as party favors and eat them later.
Halloween Prize Ring Toss
-
Scatter several Halloween prizes on the floor, such as plush toys, pencils, stickers, candy, miniature pumpkins and trinkets. Mark a standing line about 10 feet away from the prizes. Give each child an embroidery hoop or make your own hoops using rope and duct tape. Have each student toss the hoop from the starting line. If he rings a prize, he wins that prize. Allow each player to toss the hoop three or four times, or until he rings a prize.
