The time is upon us. Halloween is on it’s way! If you were ever at a Halloween party then you probably played the the game Bobbing for Apples. If not, it is fairly simple, and a lot of fun:

Bobbing for apples, is where apples float in a tub or a large basin of water; the participants must use their teeth to remove an apple from the basin. Usually, this involves the person having to go under the water to retrieve the apple. The less apples there are, the harder it gets.

‘It’ is blindfolded and stands in the center of a seated circle 
while the players change seats. ‘It’ now sits on a player’s lap. No words are spoken. He must guess whose lap he is sitting on. If he’s correct, the two change places.

Prizes for game playing should be small toys, stickers or candy. This will make it affordable for each child to get more than one.

For festive gatherings with Santa hats. You need everyone to be wearing a hat, so either use the ever popular Santa hats, or otherwise give everyone a normal party hat.

The game is based on observation. the objective is NOT to be the last person left with a hat on.

At the start announce the simple objective, the only rule is that no one can take their hat off until you have.
