This was a big hit with the kindergartners!
Face Painting: Paint a spider, a pumpkin or a ghost on their cheek-kids love this! Pin the Nose on the Pumpkin: Pin the nose on the donkey Halloween style. Easy to make with felt and Velcro. Ghost Bingo: Make bingo cards from poster board but instead the word bingo, put "ghost". If you really want to go all out, the kids could even have Halloween shapes that they put on the bingo card instead of the standard plastic chips or pennies. When the kids gets bingo, he calls out "ghost". Make sure there are lots of 7's and 13's on those cards! Spooky Story Round Robin: sit kids in a circle.
