Wrap-the-mummy relay
• Mark start and finish lines 20 feet apart. Line up kids in pairs at the start line.

• Give each pair a roll of toilet paper. One kid wraps the other with the paper (legs together, around each arm, up to the neck) until roll is empty.

• Both kids hop to the finish line, where the "mummy" breaks out of his wrapping and uses a new roll of paper to wrap his partner. They both hop back to the start line. The fastest pair wins.

Bat the cat
• Glue 2 Chinese lanterns (one small, one large) together. Cover bottom hole of large lantern with glued-on piece of black paper. Fill lanterns with candy.

• Glue on construction-paper triangles for ears and eyes, and a black pom-pom for the nose. Twist two lengths of white wire together and glue on for whiskers.

* Hang piñata and let kids whack at it with a plastic bat.
