"Pin the tail on the donkey"

On a thick sheet of paper, draw in advance the outline of the donkey - a rear view with a circle where the tail should be located. An imitation tail is made from string. A piece of paper with a picture of a donkey is attached to the board. 3-4 blindfolded participants take turns trying to more accurately find the location of the tail.

Halloween jokes and gags

Be sure to include raffles in your holiday program. For example, if couples are present at the party, in the midst of the event the girls can change costumes and hide their faces with masks, and let the companions figure out where the “evil spirits” are. If the holiday is organized with your family, remember the movie “The Addams Family”, make a party in its style, dressing the whole family in Adams.

Halloween fortune telling

1. Before going to bed on the night of November 1, the girl should eat a piece of herring without drinking anything. In a dream, the betrothed must bring her a glass of water.

2. Place a coin, a key, a ring, a shell, a button, and a heart in a pan with mashed potatoes. IN complete darkness the girl pulls out one item using a fork. A coin means wealth, a key means success and power, a ring means marriage, a shell means travel and relaxation, a button means loneliness, a heart means happy love.

3. It is believed that if you put an apple under your pillow on Halloween night and make a wish, and eat it in the morning when you wake up, your wish will definitely come true.

Let there be as many fun and interesting days in your life as possible! Happy Halloween!
