Little ghouls and goblins will have a ghastly good time playing this ghost bag toss party game! We created this fun game for our "Happy Birthday, Boo!" Halloween Birthday Party but it would be a great activity for any Halloween celebration. Teachers, this would even be something neat to use during a classroom Halloween party! The Halloween Plush Emojis serve double duty as both bean bags for the game and favors that the kids can take home at the end of the party. So fun!
Begin by unfolding a Vintage Halloween Plastic Tablecloth and laying a piece of black foam board on top. Cut out around the foam board, leaving about a two to three-inch border around the board.
Spray Elmer's® Adhesive Spray onto the foam board, then, smoothing out as you go, adhere the vinyl tablecloth to the board.
Wrap the excess tablecloth pieces around to the back of the foam board and secure with tape like you're wrapping a gift.
Unroll the White Pacon® Fadeless® Paper Art Roll and cut a piece to the size of the foam board.
Using a pencil, draw a ghost shape onto the white art paper. Draw a mouth onto the ghost shape using a Halloween Plush Emoji as a size guide. The kiddos will be tossing the emojis into the ghost's mouth to play the game so you want to ensure that the hole is large enough for the toys to fit through. Cut out the ghost shape and the mouth.
Spray the ghost shape with adhesive spray and adhere to the foam board.
Use a black Sharpie® to draw eyes on the ghost.
On a protected surface, cut out the ghost's mouth using an Exacto knife or a box cutter.
Lay the vinyl-covered foam board face down, and line up a second piece of foam board next to it on the end with the mouth hole. Use hot glue to secure small strips of ribbon across the seam of the two boards to secure the boards together. Next, glue one long piece of ribbon down the length of the seam.
Stand the boards up into an A-framed shape to determine a good width for the boards to stand apart so that the game stands up securely on it's own. Cut two lengths of ribbon to match that width, then hot glue them to the boards as shown.
Place all of the Halloween Plush Emojis into a bowl or bucket and display the game in your party space! Kids will take turns tossing the emojis into the ghost's mouth to see how many they can "feed" him. Enjoy!
