Everyone brings a poem to read aloud.
Poems are judged on...

1.How the poem made you move to the feel emotionally

2.The witches will judge the mystical quality of the poems on a scale of 1 to 5

Broomstick Contest:

How equipped you are to fly though the witching hour, with your trickles and gadgets

Witches’ Hat and Shoes:

Most creative with their hat, shoes and let’s not forget those socks too, with the sparkle and bling all you need is to sing.

the get to know you game

My opening get to know you game:

Simply wrap gifts in black tissue paper or bag and

make tags with your theme idea on them. This year is called the raven

murderous game.

I added a fake hand with the instructions for the game.

Set on table and start the game.

How to play

Everyone takes turns taking a gift. Each gift has something they have to do on it. They can either take it or give it to someone. Then they do what is on the card...

Here are my ideas for my guests to do....

1. Balance the gift bag on top of your

head and sing a song while walking from door to door

2. Tell us a scary Halloween

story of something that happened to you

3. Share a weird memory of Halloween

4. Stand on one leg and sing the song

“Five Little Pumpkins Sitting on a Fence “

5. Share your Favorite part of Halloween

6. Least favorite part of Halloween

7. Do something silly

8. Say something nice to someone at the table

9. Name all the pets you’ve had

And where they’re buried!

10. Share a happy memory about your kids

11. You get to choose the next witch to pick

a gift bag, but say something nice to her

12. Exchange gifts with someone

13. Think of a witch sitting at this table,

let us guess who, by giving us clues

14.Start a Halloween story and pass it around the

table so all will share in the telling tale,

with you will be ending it

15. Take someone’s gift and she gets to

pick again
