Find Jack O' Lantern

Jack O' Lantern Song

Halloween, Halloween

Let's go trick or treating
Halloween, Halloween!

Children sit or stand in a circle, their backs to the wall. The "it" sits at the middle of the circle, head down and eyes closed. Children pass a small plastic Jack o' lantern (or card), while singing the Jack O' Lantern Song. After awhile, the 'it" shouts; "Stop!" Children stop singing. The player who has the pumpkin hides it at his back, the other players follow. The "it" will approach one of the players and say; "Happy Halloween!" If the player has the pumpkin he will show the pumpkin and say; "Happy Halloween!" If the player doesn't have the pumpkin he will show his hands, but will not say anything. The aim is for the "it" to find the pumpkin. The "it" is allowed to make three (3) guesses.

(Variation)
For big number players, choose three (3) or five (5) players to be the "it". They stand in front of the class facing the board with their backs to the class. All other players stand in random. Pass about five (5) small plastic pumpkins or cards at the same time, while singing the Jack O' Lantern Song. When the five "it" shout "Stop!" The class stop singing and the player(s) who has the pumpkins hide them. The five (5) "it" faces the class and try to find the pumpkins.
