Coin Toss Game

Supplies needed:

Construction paper (black, purple, green, orange, any Halloween color)

Goblets or glasses (preferably unbreakable material)

4-6 pennies (depending on how long you want to stretch the game time out, you can use more or less coins if you wish)

Any color tape or regular masking tape

Cooking oil (optional)

Napkins

To start, cut Halloween shapes of your choice---such as bats, ghosts, spiders etc.---out of the construction paper.

Tape or glue the shapes to the goblets/glasses and line them up on a desk, table or dresser (any solid, flat surface will work), in the shape of a bat, a witch's hat, a ghost or a spider. You can really personalize this if you want to. If you want to really get creative, go for it! We made Frankenstein's head last year and it was fun.

Once you have figured out where the kids will stand to toss the coins into the goblets, mark that spot with the tape.

The object of this game is to toss the pennies into the goblets and have them stay inside. You could use small cauldrons if you wanted as well, but I think the goblets or glasses make this more challenging.

Another way you can make it more difficult if your kids are older, you can move the line back further, and you can also use the cooking oil to rub on the goblets/glasses to make it more challenging for the coins to stick.
