Lots of people think that Halloween is a "evil" holiday that is celebrated

by people who don't believe in God, but the truth is that Halloween actually has its basic origins in the Catholic Church. Halloween means

If you ask children what their favorite holiday is, the most likely response from most children will be Christmas, with Halloween coming in a close second. Some children will choose Halloween as their first favorite. But this holiday, with all its goblins and ghouls, likely makes the top two favorite holidays on most children's' lists.

To that end, then, it's always fun to have a raucous Halloween class party. With lots of fun games and activities, and plenty of candy for prizes, it's sure to be a hit with kids of all school ages.

For younger children how about a game of pumpkin bowling? Find some of those inexpensive plastic pumpkin treat buckets and stack them up on a hard floor. You can stack them as high as you like, but you have to start with at least three buckets. If you get many buckets, you can make a pyramid out of them. Find some lightweight plastic balls - plastic bowling balls are excellent for this. And let the kids go bowling! The kids love knocking over the pumpkin heads and all the kids who play should get a prize for this game.

Kids of all ages enjoy making mummies out of themselves and their friends. Here's how this works. You bring in toilet paper, lots and lots of toilet paper. Divide the kids into teams of 2. When you begin timing the kids, they must wrap their friend up in the toilet paper, mummy style. The first team who is all wrapped wins. The child who's wrapped up like a mummy can then break out of the toilet paper wrap with a scary "roar" and the game begins again so the other child can also be wrapped. Be sure to play some spooky Halloween music while this game is being played to add to the atmosphere.

Circle time! Have all the kids get in a circle and begin a spooky story. The story can begin with the classic, "It was a dark and spooky night..." and then the person next in the circle continues the story. Each child adds something to the story as it moves around the circle. If the children are young, you can keep the story on the straight and narrow by indicating no gruesome elements will be allowed. If the kids are older, you can decide how scary the story can be. Be aware that children in higher elementary grades will not only like their stories fairly scary and gruesome, but some might even add "booger" and "snot" and "throw up" elements to their story. You can set the rules ahead of time to prepare for this type of storytelling.

No game has held onto children's interests for more years than the classic "musical chairs". This version includes playing Halloween music (think "Monster Mash" or "Thriller" by Michael Jackson) and asking the kids to act as spooky and scary as they can while they race around the chairs. You can up the rules depending on the ages of the children. For example, for children in the lower grades you can tell them to just walk around the chairs until the music stops. As they get older, you can add challenging elements, such as make scary faces as you walk around the chairs, do the monster mash (whatever that means to the individual kid) and other things like that. You're sure to get some creative responses.

Kids love cakewalks, but they aren't practical in the classroom. You could, however, have a treat walk. Save enough space in the classroom for this one. Again, play some Halloween-themed music and have the kids walk around in a circle as they do for cakewalks during other school events. Instead of having them walk onto number squares or circles, however, you can have them walking onto cardboard discs that include pictures of ghosts, monsters and the like. The person running the cakewalk will stop the music and pull a matching picture out of a pumpkin head. Instead of calling "#14", for example, as the winner of the cakewalk, it will be "ghost head" or "monster mouth".

During Fall there are many Halloween parties to attend. Instead of just taking the kids trick or treating you may want to gather all your friends and family and throw your own party. But just where do you start?

Follow this step by step guide that will show you exactly how to throw a Halloween party that will make you the envy of all your friends.
The first thing that you need to do is choose a date and time for your party. The most obvious choice would be on Halloween itself.

So if you want to secure this date, make arrangements and send invitations out early as there may be many other parties going on at the same time. My personal preference is to hold a kids party that starts at 4pm and finishes at 5.30pm.
The kids then go trick or treating for an hour or so after the party.

If you are throwing a Halloween party for teenagers or adults then you will want the party to start much later. You may also be clashing with many other parties later in the evening as this is when most companies or groups tend to throw parties for workers or members and their families. An alternative date would be an evening on the weekend before or after Halloween.

Once you have found a time a date to suit you a location for the party is next on the list.
Are you going to throw the Halloween party at your home or garden or are you going to rent out a hall (essential if you have loads of guests and a small house). It may be wise to draft up a guest list to help you decide on a location for the party as then you will have more of an idea of the space you will need.
Now onto the invitations. You can either buy ready made Halloween invitations or you can have some fun making your own. I always prefer to make my own as you can be sure that no one else will be the same.

I usually use a word processor and some spooky Halloween clip art. It is also fun to put a little verse in whilst still giving all the party details:
"BOO, (guests name) !
Calling all witches, ghouls and ghosts on the eve of Halloween when the moon is full, at precisely (time of party) there will be a celebration of spooktastic proportions at the haunted house of (hosts name and address).

Trick or Treat? RSVP to (name and number)"
Once all the invitations are out it is time to start planing the rest of the party. Buying or making decorations and food and planning the entertainment. Oh, and don't forget your Halloween costume.

There are so many choices that it might be hard to know where to start. If your creative then make your own costume to make sure its different to everyone else as I'm sure you will have a lot of witches all from the same coven!

Decorations fill many stores each falls and you can go overboard with the spook-tacular items on display. Try and think of your house (or other party location) as a haunted house and decorate as such. Ideas would include blacking out the windows, throwing white sheets over the furniture, hanging up cobwebs and fake bats and spiders and playing spooky music.

Have a fog machine in your front yard and also some fake tombstones.

Use regular party food but give them gruesome names like dirt and worm pie, eyeball trifle or mummified hot dogs. Don' forget the witches or blood bath brew!
Keep everyone entertained with some spooky Halloween music and a costume competition.

Halloween is a fun annual event but it can turn into a nightmare if you are not too careful. With lots of kids running around and at night at that, it is not impossible for some kids to get lost and some kidnapped.

Unfortunately, not all parents see the danger in these kinds of events. They feel that because their kids are just in the neighborhood, they can trump around anytime they wish and no harm will come to them. Besides, an adult is with them.

But are being inside the community and being with one adult already enough to ensure safety?

In this e-book are some tips that you might want to go over before you send your little Dracula and Scarecrow out into the night.
