What you need
- Two rolls of toilet paper
- Music on a phone or speaker
- A pumpkin bucket or box and rolled-up socks
- Paper, tape, a marker and scissors (Dad's) for ghost cutouts
Before you start
- Never over the face. Mummy wrap stops at the neck: no paper over the nose or mouth, and nothing tied around the neck.
- Soft things only. Toss rolled socks or bean bags, never anything hard, and throw underhand.
- Clear the floor. Move the coffee table and anything sharp before monster freeze.
Steps
- Mummy wrap. Wrap loosely, feet and legs free, never the face; mummy stands still. All paper off before swapping or the next game. 10 min.
- Monster freeze. Music on, dance like monsters. Music off, freeze in a scary pose. Five rounds, 10 min.
- Pumpkin toss. Five rolled socks each, underhand into the bucket. Step back after each round. 10 min.
- Ghost hunt. Tape ten paper ghosts around the room. Kids find and count them, then hide them for you. 10 min.
- Clean up as mummies. Gather the paper into a ball and save it or bin it, not the recycling. Ask which game won. 5 min.
If it stalls
- If they fight over who wraps, give each one a body part: one arm, the other arm, the middle.
- If monster freeze gets too wild, switch to slow-motion monsters.
