Hide mini plastic pumpkins like these (or orange Easter eggs) around the yard or house and also a larger regular pumpkin.
Some pumpkins can have candy or toys assigned to them, but the person who finds “Great Pumpkin” (a larger pumpkin) is the grand prize.
ALTERNATE GAME PLAY: You can also use real mini pumpkins and one larger pumpkin. Write numbers on the mini pumpkins that correspond to different prize baskets and then have one larger prize for the “Great Pumpkin” find.
Pin the Nose on the Jack-o-Lantern
Like Pin the Tail on the Donkey, but with a big pumpkin poster!
Blindfolded players try to place paper noses in the right spot to get to pick from the prize table.
PRO PARTY TIP: You can make your own DIY Halloween game or grab this one!
Linus Blanket Relay
Divide guests into teams (or do it as an individual challenge).
Each team has a blanket with a large pumpkin on it. They must drag a pumpkin around an obstacle course and across the finish line without it falling off.
If it falls off the team (or person) has to go back to start.
