Equipment
Most games use equipment you already have: cones, hula hoops, yarn or foam balls, beanbags, pinnies, flag belts, pool noodles, scooter boards, and mats. A few add simple Halloween touches like plastic pumpkins, balloons, or old sheets. Each plan suggests ways to swap in what you have.
 
How to Use It
Use a game as a warm-up, build a full lesson around one or two, or run the station games during the weeks before Halloween. Most games work in a gym or a large open space, and several can be played outside. Halloween music adds to the fun.
