Candy Corn Activities For Halloween Parties
By Gaylene Davis
With the power of modern computing, this Halloween you can delight in your candy corn without ruining your figure. Experiment with using the small goodies in various fun childrens‘ activities and games. And if you really try, you could even burn up a few calories! And remember, October 30th is American candy corn day. There‘s no better way to observe the day than with a few entertaining candy corn games.
Candy Corn Hunts
Little ones love hunting games. Hide twenty candy corns in a room – under the sofa, behind the door, on the planter. You might need to help with a few “ you‘re getting colder“ tips to speed up the process. If you leave them out in the open, even the youngest children will be able to find their bright colors.
If you‘d like to to spice up the idea, put the candy in little cellophane bags and close them with Halloween colored ribbon. Hide them all over - either inside or out - for a Halloween twist on the traditional Easter egg hunt.
Construct a path of candy corn for kids to follow. Lead them around the lawn, or a maze - or through a messy house. Depending on the order of their rooms, you might use this idea to help your children find their closet! If you poke a toothpick into the broader end of the candy, you instantly create an arrow. Use the arrows as hints in your hunt.
Target Practice
Try a Halloween spin on the old clothespins in a jar game. Have each child stand on a sturdy chair and drop the candies down into a canning jar. A container with a wider opening, like a bucket or funnel might work out better for really little contestants, while a 2-litre soda bottle would present a bigger contest when the big kids want to show off.
Remember Bozo‘s Grand Prize Game? Try a Candy Corn version using a few small sand buckets. Rename the game after your favorite Halloween costume.
Use a section of masking tape or a ruler to show a boundary line for the contestants.
Number the pails, placing them in a row perpendicular to the line, pail number one being closest.
Kids stand behind the line and throw the candies into each consecutive bucket.
Keep score or issue prizes for hitting each bucket.
After putting the pieces into a small sealed plastic baggie, have a “corn bag“ toss. After playing catch, try aiming at a target or throwing the bags into a container. For extra Halloween fun, paint a skeleton face on the front of a box, and cut out holes for his eyes, nose, and mouth. Different points could be awarded for throwing the corn bags through these holes.
Other Fun Stuff
On a smooth surface like the kitchen floor try some shufflecorn or “bocce corn“. One person
acts as the referee, sliding out the first piece of candy corn. He then marks this candy corn with a toothpick. Contestants take turns sliding 4 different pieces as near to the referee‘s mark as they can. The referee identifies which piece is the closest, giving that participant a point. Play until a contestant gets ten points. To minimize confusion, try marking each contestant‘s candy corn differently.
If alright with a mess - try candy corn and frosting sculptures. Obviously, a well covered table or other safe surface is best. Reconsidering, maybe this is better done outdoors. Prizes could be awarded for the most extraordinary sculpture, the tallest one, the neatest one -- or maybe the one that looks most like dad.
String candy corn like popcorn. Not only is the activity fun, but also you wind up with great decorating material when you are done! Tape several strands in a doorway like a 70‘s-style beaded curtain. Add an orange lava lamp for a funky Halloween theme. String some through a spooky tree in the yard. Hang it inside like party streamers or use it for jewelry.
So whether you are hoping to stay away from the sugar calories, looking for fun Halloween activities to occupy children thrilled about the holiday, or trying to find something to do with all of that left-over candy corn, you can enjoy these guilt-free pleasures.
