Games for Hallow-e'en

A practical handbook for staging Hallowe'en gatherings, offering step-by-step advice on secret invitations, costumes and atmospheric decorations using jack-o'-lanterns, crepe paper and seasonal produce. It outlines party flow from dimly lit suppers and ghost stories to pairing rituals and pairing or pairing games, then catalogs parlor amusements and fortune-telling tests—candle-lit walnut boats, flour-and-ring slices, apple-seed omens, roasting-chestnut predictions, bobbing and scavenger hunts—each with materials, rules and suggested forfeits. The focus is on crafting playful mystery and communal entertainment with simple, craft-based effects accessible to both children and adults.
