trick or treating!
heck, i still love that game

ah, i work with this age group all the time - sometimes i think i still am this age. they all enjoy the team building type activities or just any fun games - and if you can work in some hiddin meaning for doing the games, like learning different things - all for the better.

Find some really good ghost stories at the library and have a guest speaker (dracula? Frankenstein?) read them in the right sorta atmosphere.

ever do that thing where you hang donuts from strings, from the ceiling, and they have to eat it with their hands behind their backs? Fun, but make sure you put a tarp underneath them.

Along with the touching slimey stuff blindfolded, make them eat "bugs", sesame seeds, "frog legs", boiled chicken wings, etc.

Gissmos cotstume is Skeery Woof Bare. My cotstume is Hopper Bug.

Gissmo wold say "wooooooooooooo I am the Skeeeeeeery Wooooooooof Baaaaaaaaare!" and all the kids will be skeerd and run the nother way. Then I (Hopper Bug) will run in and ressel up the Skeery Woof Bare.

That wold be a good trik!

All you need is a few cans of shaving cream. Pry off the caps and find some aerosol nozzels that fit the stem of the shaving cream can.

With an aerosol nozzle shaving cream will shoot a 15 foot stream. Perfect for entertaining 10 year olds and they won't get dirty.

they won't get dirty but the place we are having the party will, and guess what?
I get to clean it all up.


I like the idea of ghost stories, but the last time I told a ghost story was around the campfire. During the night i heard a little cub cryng out in his sleep. the next day the father suggested to me that i may not want to tell any more stories...
to bad cause ive got alot of them.
I felt sooo bad...

blindfold them, tie there hands behind there backs then take them out in the woods. Take their blindfolds off and make them find there way back to camp while you scare the #$#% out of them.

Drop 'em off at 165th street on halloween night in theircub scout uniform.


They have to make it to the pick up spot (say . . .90th) within two hours.

How about in a tub of Pilsner Urquell? Nah... that'd be sticky. Champagne, maybe?

I'll email you a really great recipe for a cake that's guaranteed to horrify everyone. It's called a kitty litter cake and is very convincing. It even had turds, which are actually partially melted tootsie rolls pulled and draped over the sides of the "box".

I'll email it to you when I can find the darned thing. Kids'll love it. Parents will be appalled.

Treebait, that sounds awesome! I wish I was having a party now....hmmm....

Ingredients:
1 spice or German chocolate cake mix
1 white cake mix
2 large pkg vanilla instant pudding mix, prepared (I like Bird's® dessert mix)
1 pkg vanilla sandwich cookies
green food coloring
12 small Tootsie Rolls®

1 new kitty litter pan
1 new plastic kitty litter pan liner
1 new pooper scooper

Directions:
Prepare cake mixes and bake according to directions (any size pans).

Prepare pudding mix and chill until ready to assemble.

Crumble white sandwich cookies in small batches in food processor, scraping often. Set aside all but about 1/4 cup. To the 1/4 cup cookie crumbs, add a few drops green food coloring and mix until completely colored.

When cakes are cooled to room temperature, crumble into a large bowl. Toss with half the remaining white cookie crumbs and the chilled pudding. Important: mix in just enough of the pudding to moisten it. You don't want it too soggy. Combine gently.

Line a new, clean kitty litter box. Put the cake/pudding/cookie mixture into the litter box.

Put three unwrapped Tootsie rolls in a microwave safe dish and heat until soft and pliable. Shape ends so they are no longer blunt, curving slightly. Repeat with 3 more Tootsie rolls bury them in the mixture. Sprinkle the other half of cookie crumbs over top. Scatter the green cookie crumbs lightly on top of everything -- this is supposed to look like the chlorophyll in kitty litter.

Heat 3 Tootsie Rolls in the microwave until almost melted. Scrape them on top of the cake; sprinkle with cookie crumbs. Spread remaining Tootsie Rolls over the top; take one and heat until pliable, hang it over the side of the kitty litter box, sprinkling it lightly with cookie crumbs. Place the box on a newspaper and sprinkle a few of the cookie crumbs around for a truly disgusting effect!

Enjoy!
