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:

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).

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.
