Old Fashioned Halloween Games and Activties

These Halloween games amd activities are from the 1920's. They provide a nostalgic look at how children used to celebrate Halloween before it became the commercial holiday that it is today. Some of the games are a dangerous. Do not try these at home!


Halloween or Hallow-Even is the last night of October, being the eve or vigil of All-Hallow's or All Saint's Day, and no holiday in all the year is so informal or so marked by fun both for grown-ups as well as children as this one. On this night there should be nothing but laughter, fun and mystery. It is the night when Fairies dance, Ghosts, Witches, Devils and mischief-making Elves wander around. It is the night when all sorts of charms and spells are invoked for prying into the future by all young folks and sometimes by folks who are not young.

In getting up a Halloween Party everything should be made as secret as possible, and each guest bound to secrecy concerning the invitations.
