Pumpkin Stacking
All you need are some mini pumpkins for this fun challenge. Try to make the tallest stack of pumpkins in a minute! You may want to look for pumpkins with the shortest stems possible to make stacking easier.
Candy Corncob Challenge
Did you know that candy corns can make a corncob if you stack them in a circular shape? In this challenge see how tall you can make a corncob by stacking candy corns in a circle.
Chopstick Bug Pickup
This game is not only fun, but great for fine motor skills as well. Spread some gummy bugs out on a table and use chopsticks to move the bugs into a small container. The person to collect the most bugs in 1 minute wins!
Balance the Pumpkins
For this next challenge, take a mini pumpkin and place it on your head. Then race to a certain spot without dropping the pumpkin. You can play that you need to start over if the pumpkin falls or just stop and place the pumpkin back on your head and start again.
Floating Spider Race
For this fun challenge, fill a glass pan with about an inch of water. Then add 2 plastic spiders to the water. They should float on top. Finally, use silly straws to move the spiders to the other side of the glass pan the fastest!
Balance the Bugs
In this challenge, use a jumbo craft stick to balance as many bugs on the stick as you can. After 1 minute, the person with the most bugs on their stick wins!
Monster Pickup
Use vampire fangs and eyeball rings to make a monster on your hand. Then use that hand to pick up pom poms and move them to your cauldron. The person to collect the most pom poms in a minute (or until they’re all picked up) wins!
Stack the Ghosts
In this challenge, each player will need 10 ghost cups. Stack the 10 cups in a pyramid and take them down into one stack in the fastest time to win!

Use witch fingers to pick up spider rings and place them in your cauldron. The person who collects the most spiders in a minute wins!
