Gross-Out Party

Decorations:

Fill the party room with lots of green and purple decorations. Rope off the "activity" areas with yellow caution tape. Hide plastic snakes, rodents and spiders around the room. Make a giant cobweb out of yarn.

Food Suggestions:

Let the kids top their own pizzas. Have lots of yummy ingredients, but toss in a few gross looking but yummy additions. Serve purple punch.

Rice Krispies* Treat:

Make spooky Spider Treats for dessert, the recipe can be found in the Ricekrispies.ca Special Occasions Halloween section.

Games / Activities:

Welcome the children to the Gross-Out contest. Award points for how quickly challenges are completed. The person with the best score wins an extra special prize.

The Transfer

Challenge kids to locate items in a bowl and transport them to another bowl – let younger kids use their hands, older kids have to use their mouths (if using mouths, provide a fresh bowl for each child).

A few ideas are:
Fill a large bowl with Rice Krispies and cover them with water and let soak over night. Before the contest begins add enough water to cover the mixture and mix in gummy worms.

Or, prepare a big bowl of eyeballs – Plain or vanilla pudding with large gumballs.

The Food challenge

Write different types of food on pieces of paper and put in a hat. Have the children choose a paper to discover their food challenge. Give each 2 minutes to eat their item. Some ideas are canned beets, brussel sprouts, crushed pineapple, creamed corn and canned ham.

Make Goopy Goo

Mix 1/2 cup of boiled water with 3 envelopes of unflavoured gelatin – let it soften for a few minutes and stir with a fork. Add about 1/2 cup of corn syrup. Let them add food colouring to personalize it. As the mixture sets, add more hot water to keep it soft.

Goody Bags:

When the kids arrive, give them each a barf bag filled with an inexpensive t-shirt they can decorate before the contest begins, a little jar to hold their Goopy Goop, breath mints (to get rid of the bad food taste), and some creepy gummi candies.
