Resources:
  • This ghoulish game gives party goers a chance to take a swing at a flitting ghost, and hopefully knock the candy out of it! Blindfolded players take turns swatting at a hanging ghost pinata with a witch's broomstick until one of the players breaks the ghost open and the candy spills out.

Supplies:
  • HERSHEY'S Miniatures Chocolate Bars
  • JOLLY RANCHER Hard Candy
  • HERSHEY'S KISSES Brand Chocolates
  • 2 to 3 rolls of white crepe paper
  • White paper bag
  • Construction paper
  • Cardboard
  • Craft twine
  • Packing tape
  • Glue
  • Scissors
  • Broom
  • Blindfold

Instructions:
  • Using scissors, cut the handles off a white paper grocery bag.
  • Next, cut out a piece of cardboard just large enough to fit inside the bottom of the bag.
  • Put the cardboard flat inside the bottom of the bag.
  • Punch a hole through the center of the cardboard and the bag, just large enough to thread the craft twine through.
  • Take a piece of craft twine around 3 feet in length. Knot one end. Thread the twine through the hole in the cardboard and the bag. The knot should catch against the cardboard.
  • Fill the bag with HERSHEY'S Miniatures Chocolate Bars, JOLLY RANCHER Hard Candy, and HERSHEY'S KISSES Brand Chocolates, allowing four to six inches of space at the top of the bag.
  • Close the top of the bag by folding it to one side, then securely taping the flap closed.
  • Turn the bag upside down, with the twine sticking out of the top.
  • Decorate the bag to look like a ghost by gluing lengths of white streamers onto the bag at various points until the bag is completely covered. Streamers should hang about 6 inches below the bottom of the bag.
  • Using construction paper and scissors, cut out circles for the ghost's eyes and mouth. Glue these onto the crepe paper on the face of your ghost. You can even add HERSHEY'S KISSES Brand Chocolates for eyes.
  • Hang your ghost piñata in an area clear of furniture or other objects.
  • Blindfold players one at a time, and let them take turns beating the piñata with a broomstick until it breaks open and releases the candy.
  • * Parents: Please make sure you help your kids with this activity.
