Many children love Halloween things. The like spooky stories and songs and make spooky things. If you can invite other kids from neighborhood for a gathering, this will make Halloween fun. Here are some suggested activities for making Halloween fun:
1. Pumpkin Bowling. Find some of those inexpensive plastic pumpkin treat buckets and stack them up on a hard floor. You can stack them as high as you like, but you have to start with at least three buckets. If you get many buckets, you can make a pyramid out of them. Find some lightweight plastic balls – plastic bowling balls are excellent for this. And let the kids go bowling! The kids love knocking over the pumpkin heads and all the kids who play should get rewarded for Halloween treat such as sweets.
2. Making Mummies. Kids of all ages enjoy making mummies out of themselves and their friends. Here’s how this works. You bring in toilet paper, lots and lots of toilet paper. Divide the kids into teams of 2. When you begin timing the kids, they must wrap their friend up in the toilet paper, mummy style. The first team who is all wrapped wins. The child who’s wrapped up like a mummy can then break out of the toilet paper wrap with a scary “roar” and the game begins again so the other child can also be wrapped. Be sure to play some spooky Halloween music while this game is being played to add to the atmosphere.
3. Telling Halloween Stories in Circle.
Circle time! Have all the kids get in a circle and begin a spooky story. The story can begin with the classic, “It was a dark and spooky night…” and then the person next in the circle continues the story. Each child adds something to the story as it moves around the circle. If the children are young, you can keep the story on the straight and narrow by indicating no gruesome elements will be allowed. If the kids are older, you can decide how scary the story can be. Be aware that children in higher elementary grades will not only like their stories fairly scary and gruesome, but some might even add “booger” and “snot” and “throw up” elements to their story. You can set the rules ahead of time to prepare for this type of storytelling.

You can also have them dress up like scare crows. Put them in cute coveralls and still shredded paper that you have dyed with tea or food coloring (to look like straw) and strategy place the shreds, hanging them out of the sleeves and pockets. Cheap and cute.
These are some wonderful ideas for kids activities, can you explain these by some pics.Please include some more ideas about their dressing,their design.
