How to Make
Gross Halloween Worm Apples

These simple and easy to make but effective "Worm-Ridden Apples" make a
great table centrepiece for your Halloween party, or if the worms are fixed
in securely, use them in Apple Bobbing for an original twist on the
traditional game.
Ingredients:
-
Use medium to large apples for best
effect
-
A little lemon juice (freshly
squeezed or from bottle)
-
Use medium to
large apples for the best effect
- Gummy worm sweets (from Pick n Mix or
supermarket)
-
Use a corer to make two holes in each
apple (if you're little, ask an adult to help with this bit). The holes
should all reach the core (centre) of the apple, but they should be at
random angles, not just straight through from one side to the other.
-
Brush a little lemon juice on the
inside of the holes. This stops the apples from going brown as quickly.
-
Finally, simply thread a gummy candy
worm through each apple, in one hole and out the other. If you have really
long gummy worms like the apple in the picture on the right, you might need
to make 3 holes and thread the worm in & out.

Halloween Party Games
Here are some of the best Halloween party games that you
can play with friends and Furbys!
 |
-
Apple Bobbing It wouldn't be Halloween without a
game of classic apple bobbing. It's simple - just float a load of apples in
a bucket or washing up bowl full of water. Get everyone's hands tied behind
their back, and get them to pick out an apple using just their mouth. Biting
the stalks is cheating. It's not as easy as it looks!
|
-
Donuts on a String
This game is fun and frustrating, but
best of all, it's an excuse to eat donuts! The method is this - tie
some ring donuts onto pieces of string, and tie the other ends to a
rod or pole. Players have to eat the donuts off the string without
using their hands. Optional rule - anyone who licks the sugar off
their lips gets disqualified!

-
Bowl of Jelly
This gross sticky game is ideal for Halloween.
Get a huge bowl and fill it with jelly. Make sure there's enough space
cleared in the fridge for it to set! Once the jelly is half-set, drop
lots of gummy sweets into it (Haribo is ideal), so they're suspended
in the jelly. Once it's fully set, the game can begin. Each person
takes it in turns to dip their head into the bowl of jelly and get as
many sweets as they can in 30 seconds!
|
-
Shoebox Nasties
Prepare this ghastly game for your Halloween
guests to "enjoy"... Get several shoeboxes or small cardboard boxes
and cut a round hole in the front of each, just big enough for a hand
to fit through. On the inside of each box, glue a flap of fabric so it
hangs down over the hole. Inside each box, place a gross-feeling
object. Our suggestions are: cooked cold spaghetti (slime),
pomegranate fruits cut open (brains), the brush from a dustpan and
brush set (bat legs), and lychee fruits peeled and cut open
(eyeballs). Of course, you can use your imagination and pick anything
you think will work well. Players have to take it in turns to put
their hand through each shoebox hole and guess what's inside. The
winner is the one who guesses the most items!

Patterns for your Halloween Pumpkin (Jack-o-Lantern)
We all know the traditional "scary face" pumpkin you see
everywhere at Halloween, but here are some more original and unusual designs
you can try. You can either copy the patterns from sight, or print and cut
out the designs as a guide, stick them on your pumpkin, and cut around them.

The Adult Furby Halloween Party by Cas on the Hill

The gang all getting together over a few green drinks and
Halloween chocs

The Glitter Girls couldn't resist having a family photo
around the cauldron!

his girlfriend Emily (right) and their pal Chestnut (left)

The Blue Boys having a chat and a pint of something
green...

Either the green stuff has got to Merlin the Wizard, or
he's seen something he doesn't like in the bottom of the cauldron!

Chestnut and Toffee, two volunteers, helped to clear up
afterwards. They got in a bit of a state with the tea towel!
