Another Marshmallow idea ... One summer I found directions to make a simple catapult with a plastic spoon, rubber band and some cardboard pieces... then the kids shot marshmallows with the catapult to see who could send them the farthest. (There seem to be several variations of the catapult on the internet.)

Dear Michelle and Fran,   What about having marshmallow death matches?   Two marshmallows are placed on a paper plate, can draw facial features with icing or food coloring, with two toothpicks placed as arms into each marshmallow, then place in a microwave.

The tallest one wins.   Happy Halloween.   With Kindest Regards,   Barbara Mease Youth Services Gloucester County Library Greenwich Branch 411 Swedesboro Road Gibbstown, New Jersey 08027 *From:* Ell ...Continue Reading

Hi Michelle, You might want to play some elimination nerf dodge ball as the final competition with the last one or two remaining as the winning tributes. You can use one or more nerf balls.

Use a luck-of-the-draw to find out who will be the tributes (just folded-up pieces of paper in a box or bag that say either audience or tribute on them).
