Bobbing for Apples
- Players: 4 – 15
- Duration: 10 - 20 min
- Average cost: $2
How to play
Fill a large tub with clean water and float a dozen apples. With hands clasped behind their backs, players take turns trying to grab an apple using only their teeth — far harder than it looks, since apples spin and dive when nudged. Play for fastest single grab, most apples in one minute, or head-to-head races at the same tub. Have towels ready and change the water between groups. A must at autumn and Halloween events.

Mop Head & Hockey Sticks
Split into two teams and line them up facing each other, well apart, with a chair at each end and a mop head placed in the middle between them. Scatter hockey sticks in the corners opposite each team, and number the players on both teams so each player has a rival with the same number. When the leader calls a number, both players dash for a stick, then battle to sweep the mop head back to their own team's chair to score. Call two or three numbers at once when the game needs more chaos.

The Imposter Artist
The host chooses a word, writes it on paper and gives it to the participants. The twist is, one participant will get a paper that says imposter. Now, the host chooses one player to start drawing. Each participant draws one line at a time, but must try not to make it so obvious. The imposter needs to pretend to know what he/she is drawing. Everyone draws twice (two turns) and then the group gets to vote who they think the imposter is. If the imposter tricks the other participants, he/she wins the game.
