Halloween Kids Party Games
There are various games that are associated traditionally with the Halloween parties. The common popular game is the bobbing or the dooking instead of apples. In this game, the apples will be floated in a huge basin with water or in a tub. The players should use their teeth for removing the apples that are floating in the basin or the tub. A small change in this game that is involved is that the participant will be kneeling on the chair by holding the fort on their teeth and thus will try to dump the fork on the apples. The common game that involves the syrup coated scones by the strings or the hanging up of treacle. The players of the game should try to eat them without using their hands as they linger will be joined to the filament which will produce a face that is quite sticky.
Many of the games that are conventionally played at the Halloween are in the form of prediction. Poocheeny is a game played at Ireland. The game will be played by asking a blindfolded man to sit before the table where various dishes will be placed. The dishes will be shuffled and the man will be asked choose the same by his contact. Depending on the choice of the item he is choosing, his life for the succeeding year will be determined. When a saucer with the earth is chosen by the man, the prediction is that someone known to the man will die in the succeeding year and if the water is chosen, the prediction is travel and if it is coin, the indication is wealth, and selection of beans indicates poverty and so on. During the period of 19th century, the Ireland women used to place slugs in the serving dishes with the flour scattered. The pattern and the wriggling of the slugs that are left on the serving dish will portray the future spouses of the women.

This custom was prevalent till the late 19th century.
