Which Witch?
Everyone will have fun making a witch at your next Trick-or-Treat party. They're great for Hallow-wonderful games!
1. Work by yourself, with a partner, or in teams to create several one-of-a-kind witches, each dressed in a different color.
2. To make the witch's face: Use Crayola® Scissors to cut colored construction paper to fit around the top third of an oatmeal container or other large, round box. With Crayola Metallic FX Crayons, draw the witch's face on the paper. Attach the paper to the box with a Crayola Glue Stick.
3. To make the witch's dress: Cut colored construction paper to fit around the bottom two-thirds of the oatmeal container. Use Metallic FX Crayons to draw designs on the dress. Glue the dress to the box.
4. To make the witch's hair: Cut long, thin strips of colored construction paper. Glue them around the top of the oatmeal container. Bend the hair down over the top. Leave the hair straight. Or give your witch a curly hairstyle, either by folding each strip into zig-zags (fold small parts of the paper strip back and forth), or curling each strip around a Crayola Colored Pencil.
5. To make the witch's hat: Cut a large circle from construction paper that is the same color as the dress. Make the circle larger than the circular top of the oatmeal box. Cut a large half circle from a second piece of construction paper in the same color. Add designs to both shapes with Metallic FX Crayons. Bring the corners of the half circle together to shape the paper into a cone. Use clear adhesive tape to hold the cone together. Trim around the bottom to make it straight. Tape the cone to the circle. Tape the witch's hat to her head.
6. To make the witch's arms: Wrap chenille sticks around the box. Twist the ends tightly around each other to make arms. Make items for your witch to hold (such as a broom, basket, or magic wand) using scraps of construction paper and pieces of chenille sticks.
7. Your witches are ready for you to decorate and play party games such as these. Which Witch? Memory Game: Place several witches where partygoers can study them. Notice details on each witch. Hide the witches. Take turns asking each other questions about the witches, such as "Which Witch is holding a purple broom?" Which Witch? Hunt: Hide your witch somewhere in the party area. Write clues on small pieces of paper---that match the color of your witch's clothes---to direct players to the next clue and finally to your witch. Place the clues in their locations and challenge each other to a Which Witch? Hunt. Which Witch? Haunted Forest: Place pieces of different colors of construction paper in a long and twisting path around the party area. Place treats on each paper. Put crayons that match the construction paper colors in a basket. Place the witches at the start of the path. Without looking, choose a crayon from the basket, then move your witch to the first paper space of that color. Return your crayon to the basket and gather a treat when you land on each space. Take turns moving your witches along the path to the finish. Close adult supervision is required to assure children's safety.
