Bobbing for Apple Game (Halloween Party Game)
“FFPG Recommended Kids Party Games for Halloween”
The Bobbing Apple Game is a true Halloween tradition! It’s a party game that’s been associated with Halloween for centuries past -- pretty much synonymous with the Halloween Festival cheer.
What’s Needed to Play:
..a big tub or wide-mouth bucket, and
.. a bunch of fresh juicy apples
How to Prepare the Game: Fill-up the carefully cleaned tub with drinkable water to three-fourths (¾) full, then put in and let float a half-a-dozen or so fresh apples.
The Challenge: The player is challenged to bring out an apple using only his mouth. You can set a time limit of 1 minute for each player’s attempt. For added flair, you can require your players to hold their arms behind their backs.
About Prizes: Traditionally, anybody who succeeds in taking an apple wins a prize such as candy, or (and this is true in olden times) a kiss from their player of choice.
Variations: In addition to having multiple winners, you can also crown a “grand winner” – the player who manages the feat in the shortest time. For this, you will need a stopwatch timer to keep accurate time. You can also have a “1-on-1 challenge” type of game by asking 2 of your top players to compete in a timed game. Such as: whoever manages to grab the most apples in 2 minutes wins!
