Being as it is finally Fall, I figured it would be a great idea to create a list of fun activities for your friends and family to do throughout the season. These activities can be done during any time of the season or at a Halloween party or as a fun countdown to Halloween!

1. Pin the Tail on the Cat

A cute spin off to the classic Pin the Tail on the Donkey, Pin the Tail on the Black Cat is perfect for all ages.


2. Halloween Bingo

Let's face it, playing regular Bingo can get a little boring. This Halloween themed Bingo will liven things up with cute images of monsters, treats, and symbols associated to Halloween.


3. Apple Bobbing

Of course you can't go wrong with bobbing for apples. A classic and fun activity, challenging for even the most experienced Halloween-ers.


4. Mystery Body Parts

A gross yet exciting activity to do in celebration of Halloween is the Mystery Body Parts Game. A person reaches inside a bucket and tries to guess what body part is inside the bucket. Of course, different types of food are used to represent these parts. But by all means you could use actual body parts if you're that dedicated. Just make sure you get permission first.


5. Quick Costume Challenge

An exciting Halloween-themed challenge for kids to do is the Quick Costume Challenge. How you play is by placing a large pile of costume pieces in the center of the floor. Each person has one minute to collect items of clothing and put together the most clever costume they can imagine.


6. Guess the Number

A common activity done is guessing how many pieces of one item is in a jar. A Halloween-spin on this activity could be to use candy corn or pumpkin seeds as the item in the jar. The person who guesses the closest number to the actual amount in the jar wins the jar.


7. Pumpkin Carving Challenge

Another Halloween challenge fun for older kids and adults is the Pumpkin Carving Challenge. Each person has their own pumpkin and carving utensils and has one minute to carve a pumpkin. The winner with the best-looking pumpkin gets a bag of goodies.


8. Pumpkin Smash

Of course, after the failure of the Pumpkin Carving Challenge, an exhilarating event everyone can join in on is the Great Pumpkin Smash. Placing all of the pumpkins outside in the yard of driveway, people can use bats, hammers or their hands and smash up the pumpkins.


I hope this list of ideas has got you all excited for Halloween! And if you're as crazy about Halloween as I am, you've probably already started planning these activities for the following month! Halloween can't come soon enough!

The Unwritten Rules Of "Talking"

What is "talking?" How does one "talk?"

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
