Have children form teams. One child is to be wrapped in toilet paper at a time (like a mummy). The others should work as a team to finish wrapping them as fast as they can. Once they’re all wrapped, the child races the other team and the first one to finish the race wins!

 

These ideas are not only a fun way to have a healthy Halloween, but are also a fun way to work together with your children. Do you have any game ideas for Halloween? If so, we want to hear about them! Post below, and have a fun, spooky, healthy Halloween!
