Ghost Bingo

Supplies:

  • Orange posterboard
  • Inexpensive Bingo game (You should be able to find one for under $6.00 at a discount store)
  • Black Marker, Scissors, and Ruler
  • Candy corn

Preparation:

Cut out as many Bingo cards as you will need from the orange posterboard. Use a black marker to draw the grids and numbers. Use the Bingo cards from the game you bought as your guide. Instead of BINGO, print GHOST at the top. Draw a simple pumpkin for the Free Space.

Game Play:

Call the game using the balls from the Bingo game you bought. Don't forget to substitute the GHOST letters for the BINGO ones. You'll get the hang of it quickly!

Children use candy corn to mark their cards. When a child fills a row, he yells, 'Boo!' Play several games and give prizes to the winners. (Throw candy corn away after the game!)
