Bobbing for Apples
As perhaps the most traditional Halloween game, bobbing for apples has been enjoyed by generations. The game is simple to learn and likely can be played with things you have laying around the house already.
Fill a large, clean tub with water and throw in some fresh, clean apples. Remove apple stems to make the game more difficult, if desired. Grab some towels and let your party guests take turns trying to retrieve an apple from the tub using only their teeth. Provide a prize for each party guest who successfully retrieves an apple. -
