Candy Corn Activities for Halloween

With 21st century advances, this Halloween you can delight in your candy corn without gaining weight. Try using the small goodies in various fun childrens' activities and games. And if you work at it hard enough, you might even burn off a few calories! And keep in mind, October 30th is American candy corn day. You'll be pressed to find a better way to observe the day than with a few fun candy corn games.

Candy Corn Hunts

Little people really enjoy hunting games. Conceal twenty pieces of candy corn in a room – under the couch, behind the door, on the counter. You may have to throw out a couple " you're getting colder" tips to help in the process. If you leave them uncovered, even the tiniest tots will be able to find their bright colors.

If you'd like to to spice up the game, put the candy in little colorful bags and tie with Halloween colored ribbon. Hide the bags all over - either inside or out - for a new angle on the Easter egg hunt.

Lay a path of candy corn for little ones to follow. Guide them around some shrubs, or a maze - or through a cluttered house. Depending on the condition of their bedrooms, you might use this game to help your kids find their beds! If you stick a toothpick into the thick end of the candy, you instantly make an arrow. Use the arrows as hints in your hunt.

Target Practice
Try an All Hallow’s Eve spin on the old clothespin drop game. Have each child stand on a sturdy chair and drop the candy corn down into a canning jar. A container with a wider opening, like a bucket or funnel might be better for really young children, while a 2-litre pop bottle would present a far greater contest when the older kids want to show off.

Remember Bozo's Grand Prize Game? Try a Halloween twist with several small sand pails. Rename the game after your favorite Halloween character.

1. Use a piece of masking tape or a ruler to give a boundary line for the children.


2. Number the pails, placing them in a row perpendicular to the line, pail number one being closest.


3. Children line up behind the line and throw the candies into each consecutive bucket.


4. Keep tally or give out prizes for making it into each pail.
