Thanks for the help. Sorry, I didn't see there was a thread on Carnivals. Too tired from a busy year to be observant. Great ideas - thanks.

We're doing this too this year...I'm thinking of:

Pumpkin Roll
Haunted Hands (sticking hands in covered buckets with gross stuff in there)
Bumpkin Race--small gourds on spoons race
Bobbing for apples
Scarecrow decoration
Corn Husking contest
Haunted Hall Walk
Pin the nose on the scarecrow
Muscial Scares (chairs but use creepy music)
then a Monster Mash Dance

Lots of fun...d

Temporary tattoos
Face Painting
Hair Painting (temporary colored spray)
Lollipop Tree
Duck Pond
Cake/Candy/Junkfood Walk
Soda Can Ring Toss
Pumpkin Painting (mini ones you can buy in bulk)
Obstacle Course
Food:
Popcorn
Nachos
Pretzels
Make Your Own Sundae
Hot Dogs
Chili
Pizza

We are switching from a Halloween Dance for families and reviving the Fall Carnival - which we had up until 5-6 years ago.

We are looking for ideas for "booths" or activities.

Anyone???
