Ghost Busters

This is our made-up Halloween combination of Hunt The Thimble / The Wool Game - and it is lots of fun!

First make a collection of ghosts. You might like to use our Ghost Cards, get the kids to cut out their own ghosts, or even make a collection of origami ghosts.

Now divide the players into two groups. Send one team from the room while the other team hides the ghosts. Make sure you stipulate what level of hiding is acceptable - we usually say that some part of the ghost must be visible - and whether some pieces of furniture are off-limits.

The first team now returns and tries to find all the ghosts. They then get a turn to hide the ghosts.

Variations:

An adult hides all the ghosts and the children compete with each other to find them.

Attach a small length of wool/yarn to the back of each ghost with a small strip of sticky tape. Proceed as in The Wool Game.

Add a forfeit to the back of one or two ghosts (without necessarily telling the children!) Whoever finds those ghosts must do the forfeit before the next round of the game.

Add a bonus prize to the back of one or two of the ghosts instead!
