Apple bobbing
You will need: A suitable tub/large bowl, water, apples (with stalks removed).
How to play: For this is traditional Halloween party game, fill a bowl or tub with cool (not cold) water to about ¾ full. Place on the ground on a towel and float several apples in the water – the less densely packed the apples the bigger the challenge.
Each player then takes a turn to kneel down see how many apples they can remove from the bowl using just their mouth (keeping hands behind their back).
There are several variations of this game but here are two simple versions –
- Time each player to see how long it takes for them to get one apple – quickest time wins
- Take it in turns to see how many apples you can remove in one minute – highest number wins.
After the game is over everyone gets to eat their apples (and compost any apple cores).
Twist – Remove the apple stalks to make it more of a challenge!
