Pumpkin Toss

A Halloween Target Game

”Pumpkin Toss” is a fun and engaging Halloween-themed target game where players aim to toss small pumpkins or bean bags into jack-o’-lantern buckets. It’s a simple but competitive game perfect for kids and adults at a Halloween party.

Materials Needed:

  • Mini pumpkins or bean bags (in Halloween colors)
  • 3-5 jack-o’-lantern buckets or bowls
  • Masking tape to mark a throwing line

How to Play:

  1. Place the jack-o’-lantern buckets at different distances from the throwing line. The closer buckets should be worth fewer points, while the farther ones are worth more.

  3. Players take turns tossing all their pumpkins, trying to score as many points as possible.
  4. At the end of the game, the player with the highest score wins a Halloween-themed prize.

Tips:

  • For an added challenge, mark different point values on the buckets, with the farthest being worth the most.
  • If the party is outdoors, make sure the buckets are stable to avoid being tipped over by the wind.
