Goblin Halloween Party (1940s)

Toadstools and goblins provide a good motif for a children's party. The toadstools consist of orange balloons "growing" on long stems of pale green crepe paper. These may be pinned to the walls at various heights or thumb-tacked to the floor. A few leaves and tree branches add to the decorative scheme.

Use one of the inner doorways as the entrance to the Goblin's Cave, made of blankets stretched across chairs, where a gnome tells fortunes.

Have a Goblin's Relay. Play Harvest, Autumn Leaves, Doughnut Puncture, and Hallowe'en Ten Pins.
Your final game might be Toadstool Scramble in which there is a grand rush for all the balloon toadstools you have for
decorations.
