October tradtion -- The Ghost Hunter

This is a game that you can play with children of all ages and is fun year after year. Take white tissues; fold them in the middle and glue on plastic eyes, which can be found inmost craft stores. Poke a hole in the top and insert a piece of string and tie a knot on the end. You can make as many as you want, but be sure there are at least a few for each ghost hunter to capture. String up your little tissue ghosts all over the house and/or outside on tree branches and plants. Right before it gets dark have your children collect as many “ghosts” as they can find. The winner is given the official ghost hunter crown, which can be a black construction paper hat with ghosts drawn on it or a plastic crown you purchase at the costume store. Take a picture of the official “ghost hunter” of the family and put it in a sectioned frame, add a new picture to the frame each year.
