Risk it or Pass it Halloween Party Game
by Hope
(Stratford-upon-Avon)
You need a few containers (example: buckets, hollowed-out pumpkins, etc. - as long as nobody can see inside when they put their hand in) some sweets and some slime, eyeballs or other NASTY things, and a curtain or secret place to swap.
Set up: Get everybody who is going to do the "Lucky dip" sitting in a straight line. At least one adult needs to supervise the game. The adults must fill the containers with the items. One item in EACH.
How to play: One adult needs to get one container and go to the first child in the line, hold the container in front of them and say, Risk or Pass? The child must decide whether to see what's inside or pass it on to the next player. If he/she does want to risk it (put their hand in) they obviously put their hand in the container, have a squirm around and pull out the object, whatever they think it is. If it's one of the Nasty objects, the adult puts the object back in the container, leaves the room and switches the objects in the container if he/she wants. Play continues until all the sweets are found.
Tips:
Make sure no cheaters see the adult switching!
To make it a bit better, there could be little messages and forfeits as well inside. For example: "You must pass on the next free turn before you risk it again", "You have to give 5 sweets to the player on your left", "Congratulations! You get to have 2 bonus sweets!", etc.
